Infectious Disease Specialist Questions

Worried

I went window shopping with my friend and she was on her period she tried on a pair of suit trousers and said they didn’t fit so she said I should try them on and I wore them but after she said that she had leaked period blood in her own jeans that she was wearing that day. So I’m worried that she may have gotten blood on the suit trousers that I tried on .

I would not worry about this for one more second. Unless you had a lot of open skin cuts, I would not be at all concerned…..even if you did, the risk of any blood borne viruses getting transferred to you is imperceptibly small, ie like zero! Have a great holiday season!
Thanks for the question. You are at close to zero risk of any spread of infection, unless you wore the jeans with wet blood in them. Some lice or other skin parasites can be transmitted this way.

If your friend is healthy the possibility of infection is minimal, but please contact your healthcare provider if you develop any symptoms or notice any changes.
