cotton ball contain HIV
Hello ,doc.recently i went for a small blood test where she drawed my blood from my vein in a new needle .(this was a small clinic in Thailand, I was traveling there)however after drawing the blood the nurse put a cotton ball on my injected area to cover the blood. The cotton ball was soaked in alcohol solution. the cotton ball touched the tray when the nurse squeezing it out. I was not sure if there are some hiv viruses on the surface of that tray(many patients in the clinic are HIV positive person). If the cotton ball touched some hiv positive bloods on the tray, can I get hiv from it .PLS help me ,I am so terrified! please HELP me ...........by solving this! PLS, save me. plz dont ignore(it is a small and dirty clinic in Thailand, and many hiv positives there )
thanks so much for reply.i am feeling so bad...just like unsafe medical in Thailand will make me die......... ...can i just forget it and try to let it go? life in thai is a nightmare.i need go back home....
thank u ,but...even there was some fresh bloods on the tray? if it happens in other countries,i will never be scared....how stupid to decided to draw blood in such a dirty clinic in thailand.
