Elli, a number of people have said this prior but I feel the need to stress this. You have no idea who these people were, age, sex, manner of dress mean nothing. She could be a hooker with aids, he could be a well dressed drug addict with hepatitis or AIDS.
Your husband needs to get to a doctor, clinic or hospital and have both an HIV and hepatitis tests done within the next 24 hours...so i would recommend by noon tomorrow. I simply can NOT stress this enough. He must also make a police report. If it was a simple slap on the face no...but there was blood...his knuckles are scraped...he thinks he might have knocked teeth out...that means the other guy was probably bleeding and there could have been an exchange.
The first test is to prove he never had HIV or hepatitis prior to the attack. Future tests determine if he did contract anything.
You need to do this to protect both your husband and yourself. For instance, if he contracts hepititis from the attack...and you suffer a financial loss because of it...say he can't work for several months.....in Canada we have a Criminal Justice Fund or some damn thing...that means that people who are harmed by a criminal and have suffered financial loss due to injury can make a claim and recover all or a portion of their financial loss.
