Hiv concern
Dear all
So 2 month ago i had a nanny working for me cleaning and babysitting my 7 years old kid, her brother was testing for a new job and found that he is hiv positive, my question is if she was positive too is there any risk of transmission to my kid or me she was using different bathroom but my son told me that she used to use my nail clipper and once she cut herself i can't test for her because she asked yo leave once she discovered her brother was sick so if she have been poked with a shrarp toy that my son had ( pen ) and then my son was poked with it just after her ( few seconds) can he get infected or me because of the clipper please answer me
1. Should we test?
2. The risk as she was leaving with us sleeping in my kids room but different bed?
Thanks in advance

Reread about the 3. Your fear of transmission is odd considering there was no hollow needle used to inject. https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Wet-cupping-hijama-and-hiv-risk/show/3065693

There is consensus, not "opinions" here so you don't need to keep asking for new advice about this non-event.
hiv prevention is straightforward and the science is 40 years old and well understood, so everyone knows the only thing you have to know to do is to avoid the 3. You keep skipping that step and are effectively asking repetitively if there is a 4th risk group. Until you focus purely on the 3, you will continue to worry needlessly.
