HIV thru needle? Help!

[teddy908]

I'm terrified that I might have gotten HIV thru a needle. I was helping this child fix her safety pin, but it pricked me twice on my finger. I ddin't see any blood come out, even though I squeezed it. But, it left two scab-like marks the next ay. Can Igt HIV from this safety pin incident, assuming the child or anyone else had it and I came in contact with infeted fluids on it?

Correct

Is a hollow bore what health professionals get, in terms of needlestick lacerations?

[diver58]

Safety pin is not a hollow needle connected with a vacuum chamber of a syringe

[diver58]

No it is not

[teddy908]

Isn't a safety pin a needle?

Safety pins and other sharp edged objects have nothing to do with HIV transmission. The only sharp edge object that could cause HIV is sharing IV works in drugs. Your fears have no basis. Relax and stop thinking and worrying about HIV
