Is it an exposure

[menardca]

I put my hand in the trash...dumb I know...and rubbed against some lube on a glove. The glove had been used to do a rectal on a hep c pt. It did not have blood on it and it brushed my hand. I scrubbed my hands three times after.

Should I be worried? The glove had no blood on it....I looked nothing

Should I report it?

The exposure parameters are listed in this pdf. Another good site is the CDC

Thank you for the info.....I was more grossed out than anything. I just wasn't sure if it was something to be worried about. Or if it is something I should report. I washed my hands several times....and all I got on my hands was lube.....but ya never know.
