sharps box

[eddie803]

Hi guys, just a quick question i went for a hiv test today and they did the blood test and i had a vaccine for hep right the nurse brought the box ever so close to me while i was hanging my jacket up. when i looked it was right next to me. anyways when i went to put my jumper back on my arm hit the box - and scrapped something and i am ever so scared now it was a needle poking from inside.

what do i do? i know they dont use syringes to inject blood but do use them to inject the hep - could i have got hiv this way? the needle could have been pressed down who know. should i request pep,,,,

help

lol thanks - sytupid question got my results bk and she even showed me the box bless her

Is bumping into a box a risk..no. We can not speculate like you want us to that a needle made it though a box and into your arm and injected something into you.

A poke is not a risk.

i hate to say it an yes i see where your comming from - but is it a risk,

So for some reason you think that in a box a needle is sticking out and went into your arm? This is anxiety at it's fullest.

ha ha ha teak - i know i sound like a right git but i went for the blood test because of a needle poke hence why i get so jumpy, but on a serious note should i be worried. I know its common practice for them to out needles downwards as someone else has to use it right... can you kindly give me some advice. plse
