Risk of Infection
Respected sir,
I am a Microbiologist,While performing ELISA, unfortunately a needle was pricked in finger.
We used that needle to OPEN the bottle having patients serum(HIV positive).After that i had gone HIV SCREENING AND Test during 6th month and 12th month both the tests show HIV Negative(no infection).But im still afraid.And i want to know whether HIV can survive in serum?
