Needle vs Lancet
Can you get HIV from a lancet stick? I see the odds say .03% from an infected needle. Is a lancet a needle? I was tested negative past the 4 week mark but now I have terrible anxiety that they reused the lancet. They took it out of a plastic basket filled with them and it wasn't individually wrapped.
