HIV risk

Please help.
What  is the risk of contracting HIV from a diabetic lancet? This lancet was like a razor (reminds me of a tip of a box cutter) that made a cut in my fingertip.

I am not sure about this person's status. How long before HIV would die on a diabetic Springform pen razor? Are these pens considered airtight? Did those razor type lancets leave alot blood behind?

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about the brand of diabetic lancet you're referring to. (The Springform pen razor)

I would strongly recommend you contact your local pharmacist for information regarding this situation. If, for some reason, they can not answer your question, please call the nearest HIV clinic.

If you can't find an answer, please write back and we'll try to find out for you.
