HIV Prevention Community
If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
And even then, lancets are not hollow needles, and they are extremely small gauge needles. So they would be terribly inefficient at transmitting HIV, even if they had just been used on an HIV+ person, which it more than likely wasn't in the first place.
Large bore, hollow needles can be a resevoir for infection. Lancets do not fall in this category at all.
