Can you contract HIV by giving a person a tb skin test and the solution from the infected person gets in your eye?
As I recall my TB skin tests, they don't draw blood. Unless blood mixed with the solution before splashing into your eye, you should be just fine -- no threat. Blood would of course be a different matter. However, this still should be reported to the person who tracks needle sticks and the like in your clinical environment. I don't want too sound preachy, but when you're dealing with bodily fluids from any source were you don't KNOW they're non-contagous, you absolutely need to be properly protected. This would include at least eye protection and gloves. I think you'll get off this time just fine. Consider it a warning for the future :}
