There was a small hair on the top which I was wearing. It had blood drop on it. So while I was wiping my mouth on my top, the hair with blood went inside my nose and mouth. Can it cause hiv or hep? Please reply soon.

Hiv cannot be transmitted this way. The virus does not live well outside the body, so even if there was hiv present, it would be unable to infect you but be careful with hiv infection. If you have doubt, let's discuss your problem in detail for better advice and precautions.
