So the other day I had a patient with hiv who was there for the flu. He was on droplet precautions but for some reason I was told to wear an n95 mask. He has no history of tb. Why would I need an n95 mask? Another concern is I realized I was wearing the mask wrong the first time I went into see him to do his assessment. The mask didn't cover over my mouth...stupid me but i hadn't wore one before. I can't get hiv through droplets from him having the flu can I? I know I could be at risk for the flu for not wearing the mask right. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm very paranoid about this now...thank you!
