Typically, massage therapists, bodyworkers, spa and salon professionals are not exposed to blood or bodily fluids that could transmit HIV or other infectious disease in their normal course of business. However, accidents do happen, especially when practitioners use sharps tools (such as scissors) close to the client’s skin.
If you are exposed to blood at work, you should contact your primary care physician, or go to an urgent care or emergency room IMMEDIATELY.
Licensed physicians can provide medical advice for the exposure, and they can also administer PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) with HIV exposure. PEP must be administered immediately, within three days of exposure, so time is of the essence.
Here is the latest information about PEP direct from the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/library/consumer-info-sheets/cdc-hiv-consumer-info-sheet-pep-101.pdf)
Medical professionals recommend treating all blood exposures the same, whether there is known HIV infection or not.
Statistics report that 15% - 20% of HIV-positive cases did not know that they were infected. Treating ALL blood exposure the same is effective and best practices. Treating all blood exposure the same also removes any stigma or discriminatory concerns.
Another reason to treat all blood exposure the same is that those who are infected are STILL AT RISK for exposure. An HIV Superinfection is when a person with HIV gets infected with another strain of HIV. The new strain of HIV can replace the original strain or remain along with the original strain.
It is important for everyone to take proper precautions to prevent HIV and other infectious disease transmission with blood exposure.

My apologies to everyone, but i have to share this to help one or two people out there. What else can I say about him, today am equally very grateful to Dr.Water as I am finally cured of HIV disease that have been eating me up for over a year and 6 months. After searching for different means to get my self cured but nothing seems to work out, behold today i can boldly stand and testify to the world at large that with the help of herbal medicine, I have found myself back to my feet and healthy again in just after few weeks after i got in contact with a great herbalist, through help on a blog which talk about HIV cure. Few weeks ago, i saw an article of a lady explainning how she was cured after using some herbal medicines which was sent to her by Dr.Water. So i decided to give this great man a try by contacting him via his email and mobile number. I explained to him what my problem was, and he promised me that all would be fine and well by the time i finish using his remedy. I just had to believe in him, which i did. Low and behold, today i am very happy. It was just all like a magic when my blood sample tested negative. That is why i have come here to testify to the world at large and also to share my experience because I know there are many people out there who are also searching for a cure to one disease or the other. You can as well get in contact with DR.WATER now for his herbal medicines, through his WhatsApp +2349050205019. Write him today, I fully believe he will be able and capable to cure your own HIV/AIDS and can also cure all of these diseases as well: HEPATITIS B, HPV WARTS, CANCER, HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS, ALS, DIABETES TYPE1&2, INFERTILITY IN BOTH MALE AND FEMALE
