Hello,
Last week I went to a community centre to get a rapid HIV test. After the nurse had pricked my finger, I accidentally touched the steel gurney that the nurse uses to administer the test. Because my finger had just been pricked, I had to wipe some of my blood off of the steel table/gurney.
I assume these stations would be cleaned and disinfected, but would this be a potential risk for hepatitis? I'm certain there was no other blood or body fluids on the table when I touched it, and I assume it was cleaned because I was the first patient of the day.
Thanks.
