poked vs injected

[quincyg]

Hi Friends,

If someone who is infected with HIV uses a syringe and i get poked (not injected) by that syringe immediately say few seconds after him on my finger or feet , am i at risk or not?

and for the purpose of transmission is it same as getting poked by a sewing pin or non hollow core needle?

i do have an understanding problem teak

is it no risk even if person using hypodermic syringe seconds  before the poke has high viral load in his blood and not taking treatment ?

[quincyg]

???

[quincyg]

sorry teak i guess u are pissed about my repetition...

just last question

is it no risk even if person using hypodermic syringe seconds  before the poke has high viral load in his blood and not taking treatment ?

comprehension-the act or action of grasping with the intellect : understanding

is it hiv anxiety?

[quincyg]

what is comprehension?

[Teak]

Do you have a comprehension problem?

[quincyg]

no risk even if person using hypodermic syringe before the poke has high viral load in his blood and not taking treatment?

[Teak]

Still no risk.

[quincyg]

has time difference anything to do with risk ?
i mean  getting poked just seconds after usage of syringe changes the risk or its still no risk?

[quincyg]

ok i understood what u mean to say...thanks:)

but one last question getting poked by hollow core hypodermic syringe even seconds after it is  used by hiv positive is also no risk ??

i mean does getting poked after seconds  change the risk scenario?

[Teak]

Getting poked is not the same as getting injected. The only way you get anything out of a hypodermic needle is to inject. You didn't inject anything into your blood stream. No risk.

thanks teak but can u please explain if i get poked with a syringe why its no risk i mean the blood inside the syringe can go in body by getting poked?

[quincyg]

thanks teak

[Teak]

No risk.

[quincyg]

Move along, you didn't have an exposure and it was explained to you earlier in another post.
