Is what my doctor told me true?
My doctor told me that I am not at risk at all for HIV, etc. if there was not a lot of blood shed from my finger after touching/poking it accidentally with a disposable needle. Is this true, or should I get a second opinion?
* I read on past posts that people are at risk even if there is no blood shed
* I read on past posts that people are at risk even if there is no blood shed
There are no documented cases of anyone getting hiv from needle outside healthcare centre..........
School bleachers, accidentally touched a needle between the cracks. No blood was shed, but I do not know if the needle could have still poked me even if no blood was shed.
So are you implying that what the doctor said is correct and that I am in no risk?
