HIV patient exposure

What would you do?? I was assisting in surgery and we had to crash on bypass. My pants, compression socks, and into my shoes got soaked with patient blood. Patient is diagnosed with HIV but has been compliant w meds for many years and has an undetectable viral load. I did continue to just stand in the blood soaked socks and shoes for about two hours because it was an emergency….. Am I gonna get HIV if I shaved and cut my toenails literally hours before the surgery?

Google is telling me that U=U doesn’t necessarily apply to blood and is mostly a rule of thumb for sex

Moving + vacation advice

We have a very busy two weeks coming up and I want to make sure my cat does not hate me by the end of it. We need to move and also have a family vacation during all of this. These are the two options:

  1. Movers come and she is confined to a bathroom while they are here. We leave for vacation Thursday, and she is left at a completely empty home with no owners (cat sitter will be coming by daily to check on her) and she joins us on our cross country drive when we come back.

To board or not to board- that is the question.

Thanks!

Edit: I know the obvious answer is to board but the “cat condos” look tiny and like a small cage. And she does not do well with other cats so I feel like boarding will also be stressful for her
