Lancet Anxity
Two days ago, i used a lancet and made a deep cut on my thumb which a lot of blood. If the lancet was used by someone HIV+ before me around 15 minutes, should i worried about the condition?
Yesterday I had to clean the cement out of a temporary crown for a patient, that had been left out at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. There was dried blood inside and it got on the tip of the instrument I was using to clean it. Then the sharp instrument slipped and I got a very superficial cut on my finger, and very small amount of blood came out. I immediately washed it and tried to squeeze out more blood but it had already stopped bleeding. I checked and the patient was HIV positive and taking HIV/AIDS medications. Do you think I am at risk for getting HIV? Thanks.
so if there were few drops of blood on a needle they won't hurt, the blood has to go into the body,
No it's not the same thing,a lancet and a syringe are two totally different things.The blood on the tip of a lancet is inactive,the blood inside a syringe is not.
the lancet what i am taking is a nail-looking thing. it is for the same rules, right?
even if a lancet was infected it shouldnt be any risk cuz there is hardly any blood on itrite
i thought the lancet can only be used once,,, the lancet they use for rapid hiv testing, is it only one time use or not
Thank you for dedicated help.
Thank you, i think i will move on
I just check on the yahoo ask, it is so scared

Either someone is HIV+ or they are not. Maybe does not exist.
You did not have a risk. Also the virus once exposed to air and outside of the body elements will deativate and no longer to infect.

Do your friends have HIV.
No it is not a risk to cut yourself with a knife that was used by someone else to cut themselves. The cut would have to be very deep, deep enough to require stitches.

And before i used i went to the toliet for around 10 mins that's the basic story, and someone used this is a guy.
For basic
me and my friends are at a bar, and we wanted to mix some blood in our drink which i know is a crazy idea, but after so much alcohol to which its all sense. A friend of my got the lancet with him so him give us and everyone used that lancet and i am the last.

You were at a bar and a lancet was just laying around?
I need background because certain things are hard to believe.
