Worried anxiety
About two weeks ago, I went to test my blood sugar at my friend's house, he is a hiv posititve. And we share the same lancet device 20 mins apart. I used the lancet made a really big cut on the tip of my finger and there is really a lot of blood came out the wood. Should I get test caused we used the same lancet and his blood may on the lancet
Sorry, is the last comment change you opinion by the deep paper cut like change you option
No, and what does that have to do with getting poked with a lancet?
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

Hiv becomes inactive and therefore unable to infect you once exposed to air,this is why you never had a risk.
We did not use the pan device, and the cut of finger is like a paper cut, but a little deeper. If the lancet has the blood of him, am I still being safe? Thanks teak, you are the truly, kindly expertise
At the beginning, I do not want to test, but by considering I am a fatty, so I was given a try. I do not think it is a smart move, but I do not know why I used the same lancet. Ew, the cut is deep which make me anxiety

Why would you share a lancet with your friend if you knew they were HIV positive? It wasn't a risk but it wasn't the smartest thing to do either.
