Approx. a week ago, I was at a hospital and used the toilet and washed my hands. I put the hand towel in the bin and accidentally touched the inside of bin lid (a couple of times). I washed my hands and put sanitiser on but then noticed that I had a small bleeding cut. Not sure if this is from washing etc. or if I've some how cut my hand on the bin lid.
The bin was in the Orange stream which means it's for blood and bodily fluid as well as hand towels, there was also no sanitary bin in the toilet. I checked the bin lid and couldn't see any sign of blood but it was an old bin. I'm worried that I did cut myself on the bin and there was blood or bodily fluid on it that wasn't visible to the naked eye. Is that a risk to Hep b or c?
Am I worrying justly or is my anxiety getting the better of me?
