NO doctor or healthcare professional is ever going to reuse a needle or lancet. PERIOD. It does not and will not happen.
Yeah the Dr is going to do something to infect you with HIV, come on...move on you didn't have a risk.
thank u. but i have a question, if the previous patient have hiv infection, i will be infected if dr din change the lancet? or hiv transmission through lancet is negligible? all is me over worried right, nothing answer with 'if' such question right?
really is me irrational thinking? that means ' if ' this word only my personal opinion and my worried right even i din saw dr either got change or no change..
Irrational thinking that a Dr is not going to do something that would put a patient at risk. This is a "what if" question and we do not deal with what if questions.
y u say 'none with lancet even if it was used"
is it because the lancet is non hollow, and the virus on lancet will die less than a minute?
