Hello everyone,I was injuried by a needle a few minutes before.As far as im concerned,this needle might be contaminated by fresh blood which contains HIV.So,Will I get infected?(ps:the injury was not so deep,but bleed a lot)
Best Answer
So,does what you called deep tissue involve gingiva?if someone goes into a irregular dental clinnic ,with an undisinfectant needle injected into gingiva,will he get infected?
hey,Teak i know that i may be annoying,but this may be my last question. ,i got such contents on medhelp page that'There have been no known cases of HIV being transmitted through open wounds, except when the wound is caused by an HIV-contaminated object (like an infected needle).'what is that mean?and can a fresh superficial wound(caused a few seconds before) poured in fresh blood in a large amount bring risk of hiv?
thank you for your quick reply!i am just confused of deciding which is the best answer now,:)
Thank you.i feel much relief now.But i still have a question:do you mean that any superficial cuts(not in much deep ) can not bring any risk of hiv(even in the case Of blood contact)?
After a few minutes later,i noticed that a scratch is right on my right hand,with blood bleeding out.
it is an ordinary syringe which held some blood.i am just not sure that if i have the risk
