I had cleaned a toilet bowl that had dried blood on it. I did not touch the blood directly because I was cleaning it with Clorox wipes. I did not have any cuts on the hand that was cleaning it, but the other had a tiny skin tear on the other hand. But newly formed skin was over it and it did not touch the blood. I had washed my hands right after with cold water. Do you think that I could have gotten hepatitis?

Welcome to e health forum.

Since you never came in contact with the blood, there is no need to worry about being infected with HIV or with Hepatitis B.

In addition, since you were using clorox wipes, it effectively kills all bacteria and viruses including hepatitis B and HIV.
