Is there any real risk
Hi there
Yesterday only I went to do the 25-26 week tests after a low risk exposure. All finally thanks GOD came back normal and negative. is that enough time (by the way?)
But a new fear happened when the lap technician was taking the blood sample from me for that tests, she was working inside the lap and was wearing that latex cloves, and she came to take the sample and she removed away the cloves (when I asked her why she told me because she was working with it inside) then she fastened the arm belt and prepared a new covered injector and opened a new medical wipes and swapped the sample place with the wipes but before taking the sample she touched my vein by her finger (ommm she swapped her hands by her coat after removing the cloves)then I told her stop not to put your finger then inject me, she told me that she has to because my vein is not appearing good but she took the same wipes again and swapped the place and then took a dry clean cotton or something like that from the box and dried the place and took the sample and took another dry clean cotton and but it before pulling out the injector, then she but that small circular plastic stick (medical for covering the place was closed and new also), this mad my mind creasy again that she might infect me with anything from that finger touch and specially she was working inside the lap.
Do you see any risk?????????????????????
Thanks great previous help

You need to take a serious look at your anxiety problems and what is causing them. Several people on this and other boards have already told you that what the phlebotomist did is standard practice and presented no risk of any kind.
Your family doctor can test your HBsAg and anti-HBs as part of physical, if you show any symptoms.
Thanks for your reply
So is there any need for future plans for blood testing to roll out that minimal risk accident?
