HIV infection risks

Jeremy Sanders12 said:What are the actual odds of someone (in this case, a female friend) contracting CDC through exposure if just two drops landed on her face and she washed it off immediately? (She works in a lab).
I’m looking for realistic answers here—how much exposure is actually required for infection to occur?
Thanks for the help!
I honestly can't believe someone working in a lab would even worry about getting infected that way.
Look, I’m no virology expert, but I know enough to say the chance of catching CDC from a couple of blood droplets hitting intact skin is practically zero.
Hopefully, these answers help calm her nerves a bit.
