needle stick
hi
I am working as a nurse in a hospital, before 1 week i had a needle stick accidentally in my finger after performing an IM injection for a patient, i think the needle stick was superficial bcoz i didn't even bleed from my finger, but really am so afraid now
what is the possibility that i will get infected with HIV if that person was infected with it??? and when can i test to make sure that every thing is ok??
plz help me, am sooooo anxious and this week was like hell .
