Default Hepatitis, HIV Risk

Hi,

Hope you can help

I went to a nail salon last week and didn't notice that I had a graze on my finger. They put my hands in a finger bowl of acetone which I think other people had used. Is there a risk of hepatitis or HIV from this? Also, if they used a file and this touched or caused the graze?

If you recommend testing, how long should I wait until I go for one?

Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. What about hepatitis on the file? Doesn't hepatitis survive a long time out of the body and only need a small amount of blood? Sorry, there's so much on the internet it's making me worried
