Patient: Medical history: 6 weeks ago, I took a bath with a bleeding wound for more than 10 minutes in a public bathhouse pool, and the skin was abraded and bled before I got into the water, and after I got out of the water, the skin was all broken, for the right heel. Please, can we rule it out?
The incubation period of hepatitis B virus infection is 6 weeks to 6 months, with an average of 3 months. From your case, the possibility of contracting hepatitis B virus in this bath is very small. If your hepatitis B surface antibody is negative, you can inject hepatitis B vaccine to prevent future hepatitis B infection due to exposure to hepatitis B virus pollutants.

Patient: Can I get AIDS this way? If there are multiple AIDS patients who have washed, I regret it too much. I soaked in the pool for more than 10 minutes, the blood was gone and the skin was broken, so I couldn’t have contracted AIDS, right? This morning I got a rash under my right neck and face!
Ningbo Infectious Diseases Hospital, Western Medicine and Liver Department, Yuan Gang: Generally speaking, the possibility of this infection is almost zero. First of all, there is not necessarily an AIDS patient in the pool to take a bath, and secondly, even if there is an AIDS patient who has taken a bath, but the patient usually does not have a bleeding wound, and even if there is a bleeding wound, the blood entering the pool is quickly diluted and will not have the concentration of infection. And most importantly, the HIV virus in vitro resistance is very poor almost as soon as it leaves the body will immediately die. You really do not feel comfortable with the bath time 3, 6 months respectively to test for HIV antibodies. If the AIDS antibody is negative within 6 months, you can be completely at ease. As for the rash on your neck if it itches consider allergies, you can go to the dermatology department to see.
Patient: Thank you expert Dr. Yuan, there is a problem may be, I was soaking when there are three people under the water, after my wound near it? Is this dangerous? The neck rash may have been a little itchy for a long time, but there was no rash, and I ate lamb last night, so I may be allergic.
Ningbo Infectious Diseases Hospital, Western Medicine and Hepatology Yuan Gang: Do those three people have surface skin wounds? There should be no right? Otherwise who is injured and still go to the bath ah? In fact, your small wound is also you do not consciously go to the bath ah! So I don’t think you need to worry. After all, Islamophobia is also a mental illness. In the study found that even with blood (AIDS patients) needle stab wounds and other occupational exposure to HIV infection is only about three in a thousand. Your situation is not even exposure, purely suspicious fear, oh, HIV infection is terrible, but HIV infection is not so easy.
Patient: 91 days cloudy, no need to think about that anymore, right?
Ningbo Infectious Diseases Hospital, Western Medicine, Liver Department, Yuan Gang: It’s best to test again in six months and you’ll be completely at ease!
