lancet
what are the chances of hiv if a lancet for unigold test is reused?
you cannot reuse a lancet regardless, i'm assuming you took an hiv test at planned parenthood. If they somehow reused it and it had HIV on it, the virus would be dead in a matter of minutes, if not sooner. Lancets are not hollow-bore needles, they are exposed to air after they are used.
they do not reuse lancets, this is totally ridiculus. go to ocd forum or anxiety forum
HIV does not survive outside of the body.
And again, please understand that the chances that the lancet was used previously on an HIV infected person are probably one in one million.

Minisucle - even if the person who was tested before you actually had HIV - which is doubtful.
i didn't see him get a new one. It probably wasn't but I'm just wondering what the chances are if it was.
