information about hiv

[Dayilyan]

Good evening everyone, I have a question related to HIV. Two weeks ago, I went to the medical analysis laboratory to carry out marriage tests and there were many patients before me. The nurse opened a new butterfly needle for drawing blood, which contained two needles, so he didn't wear gloves and touched the needle with his hands, then he inserted it into my arm and the other needle inserted into the collection tube remained on the table, and I saw that there was some blood on the table while the nurse was preparing the collection tube in order to connect it to the tip of the collection tube. needle that was on the table. After finishing, I became concerned about this behavior.
My question is: can the blood that was on the table cause me to contract HIV, which was touched by the coated tip of the needle?
What if there is blood on the nurse's hand that touched the needle before inserting it into my arm, is that a risk? I would like details please, I am very scared about this.
Special thanks to the administrators of this forum for their constant humanitarian work

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.


If you do not engage in any of the activities I mentioned above with someone HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, you will NEVER have to worry about getting HIV. There is no information you could add about this event that would make it a risk for HIV.

THANKS. Please can you follow me a little and understand and feel my anxiety and fear? I know the modes of transmission that you mentioned. I would like to have explanations and details from you about my situation, please.
why it is not possible to contaminate, because I am a little worried.
Can HIV live in the blood on the table and cannot infect me even if it enters my veins through the needle, whether from the table or through the nurse's hand when Does he touch the needle? enters my veins through the needle? because the blood was exposed to the air or what???
I think my case applies to (Blood Exposure Accident)
please explain to me a little why it is not possible to contaminate :hands clasped:
Please, I am waiting for your response. I'm worried. If you could make me think and feel for myself, and I'm sorry to bother you

Honestly, your need for reassurance is part of your anxiety. Something tells me you have worried before about hiv and looked up things or asked us here before. If AIR inactivates the virus, you can't touch blood and get HIV. Air is present. Touching a needle is different than an INJECTION. A needle stick is different than an injection. She didn't wear gloves. Big deal. I would suggest if you are getting married that you get a handle on your anxiety or you will bother your wife and future children tremendously with incessant reassurance seeking.  Risks-- unprotected vagina sex (penetration, INSIDE the body), unprotected anal sex (penetration, INSIDE the body) and INJECTION (needle with plunger not a blood draw, an INJECTION INTO the body) needles shared to inject drugs. Like, street drugs with drug addicts. I hope you take the strong advice to work on your anxiety as a disorder. Because that is the one that plagues you. Take care
