Wet Blood and Hair?


Hey guys, have a quick question for you. I was using a public computer, and I bent down to pick up a pen from the ground, making my hair touch the keyboard, and when I got back up I noticed that there were a frew drops of semi-wet blood on the keyboard. I think my hair touched it. What should I do? Can HIV or anything else live in my hair? Should I cut the hair off that came into contact with the blood? Will a simple shower wash away any virsus or bacteria in my hair.
Thanks

Unless you had an open wound, you have nothing to worry about. If you worry about it, just wash your hair.

relax ,nothing will happen

Basically, yes. Your risks are extremely small as long as you have no open sores on your scalp or hands. Wash your hands well immediately, then shampoo and rinse thoroughly now, even though it interferes with current plans. Launder any clothes that may have come in contact with the blood.
