Mery christmas Doctors
Mery christmas Doctors I want to get the professional advice my grandmother has diabetes and live in the very tiny town and require insulin shots she cannot take herself she needs someone to give it to her . There is a man in that town (not a doctor but as we call him in our country a “syringe operator”) he gives syringes and take blood samples and take money for that. Last week I was visiting her and saw the process. He has a bag (like a very large wallet) and he has the clean syringes and used injections near each other and it is possible that the fluid falls from new to used. I spoke to him and he is an old grumpy man. Now can the virus of the aids infect my grandmother? If the droppings of the syringe falling from one used injection to new injection surface? Should my grandmother be brought for immediate testings and hospitalized? She lives in poor town we hear there is one case of hepatitis but we don’t know about aids. I whish I am not disturbing your marry Christmas an

Also, they don't accept anyonomous testing. You have to submit your nationalised identification.
Not all country is the same. When teak and liz and diver and nurse post a comment all they caring is the exposure. Not where the person is. Hiv is not regarded the same in evry country. In mine for example they take the local and put him in isolation in the begining then release but they bring (by police and ambulance) his or her spouse for forced testing and if you forigner they deportation you imidiatly. That is why people internationaly ask about symptoms and worry about testing. Sorry but I want to share
I was going to ask a question but scared that teak issuing the t-cket for me

Hello and thank you for answering. I don't live with her. She live with her husband which is my step grands and he is very old. So she pay this man to give insulin and to call emergency ambulance if he see any problem. She lives in our mother town and when we took her to the city she cried evry day so she went back to her tiny town.
Your grandma had no risk, however, giving insulin shots is very easy, why don't you just learn how to do it? Your grandmother's doctor's office could teach you in one visit. It would save you the extra money you are paying the "syringe guy".
Hi.
I spoked to my grandmother and told her she was safe even if blood fall from one syringe to another. The syringe operator was there and I speak to him and tell him that he should separate the used from new syringe he yelled at me and screamed he said I have e been doing this for 20 years and now you teach me. So he will still mix the new and used in that wallet. I told him at the least just don't take the safety cap off of the syringe he told no and hangup telephone. I don't care if he removes or not if no risk that is all I care.
I have brought trouble and worry to you guys I know but I am sending my great apologies.

Teak meant that HIV is not like other bacteria or fungi, capable of living outside the hosts. HIV inactivates almost instantly, the moment it leave its host. Your gradma is not at any risk and she does not need any testing for HIV

In countries like mine, there is a risk of recycling of the syringes, therefore at the clinics and Laboratories, it is a standard practice to cut the sharp needle end of the syringe, after use, to eliminate the possibility of its reuse.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
Your grandmother doesn't need an HIV test she was never at risk.

No ! As long as he is not reusing them, there is no possibility of HIV transmission. One new syringe, sealed in its packing can not be contaminated even if it is kept closer to an infected one. However it is a standards practice to keep new and used syringes sparately, preferrably after clipping its needle.
