I can't answer that but I do remember a post a while back where Dr Garcia had a similar question and said it was no risk.

[crepe1]

thanks a lot. i was just a bit concerned about the comments by dr ewh in only one of his posts. has anybody got hiv by a stapler pin prick- even if it is immediate.

[RainLover71]

No they haven't and you won't be the first.Please seek professional help for your phobias--All the best.

[crepe1]

can i just forget about the whole thing & stop worrying about pin pricks anymore. Each time i handle a pin i get worried.

[RainLover71]

Please seek some professional mental help,this is not an HIV concern.
