Infectious Disease Specialist Questions Hepatitis

Help!

Question. I was donating to the unfortunate today and I noticed what looked like dried blood / wound on the hands of the guy I helped. This was after I essentially shook his hand. I don't have any open cuts on my hand, and used sanitizer right after, but it made me nervous. Is there a chance of getting hepatitis or HIV from that?

Thanks for the question. There is no chance of acquiring HIV, and hepatitis would only require that you wash your hands or use sanitizer.
