Reusable Finger Prick Device
To whom it may concern,
What is the risk of exposure if at a clinical setting for stds. they use a reusable finger prick device. They replaced the needle infront of me. But, I knwe something was not right so, I google this situation and found out that the CDC does not permit this practice in multipatients setting.
Please I am very worried about this situtation. It happend at Planned Parenthood clinic.

Thanks Tweak, I guess your answer excludes Hep A, B and C. I guess I have to wait some time before retesting again.
I said in the above reply. NOT AN HIV CONCERN.

Not an HIV concern. You aren't injecting anything into your self and it is not a hollow core needle.
