I am a medical student , today while doing PRP (plaletlet rich plasma therapy ) for hair regrowth, in this therapy serum of patients injected in scalp at multiple site.
While doing PRP therapy when I remove air from insulin syringe loaded with patients serum splash into my eye
Serum is separated from blood one hour back which was kept in open test tube then
reloaded in insulin syringe
Patient was of unknown status!
Pls assess my risk???

Your medical school should have a procedure in place for this type of situation. I suggest you speak to your instructor or if that person doesn't know, the director of the program to familiarize yourself with the correct procedure per their requirements.

A small splash in the eye is not considered a risk. Even if the patient is HIV positive, blood is not infectious outside the body.

Your medical school must have procedures in place for such situations and if you're planning to be a medical professional, you'd better familiarize yourself with how to report these types of things to your superiors and how to follow procedures. Otherwise you won't last very long in that type of profession.
