finger prick
i got a rapid hiv finger prick test. Was it possible the nurse reused the lancet. If the lancet used on me was used on an hiv postive person right before me what are my chances of getting it?
Lancets cannot transmit HIV and it doesn't make any difference if it is in Africa or Atlanta.
The only place that you may contract HIV from getting an HIV test is Africa & even thats rare now.
