Poked with a safety pin
I purchased a pair of sweat pants today that had a safety pin in them. When I put them on the pin opened up and scratched me fairly deeply, leaving a 1/2 inch gash in my upper thumb. The pants came from Africa and I am concerned about exposure to aids. Is it possible to get aids from a safety pin? How long would the virus stay on the metal?
Thanks!
