High Risk Or No Risk
I had a medical check up last Friday for sugar test. This is requirements for a basketball tournament here. So more than 100 people had a medical check up last Friday.May concern only are I’m the last person to gone for a check up...
They use like a pen with the needle (Terumo Medisafe Lancet For Fine touch (Its Syringe and Hollow Needle) to ***** the skin so the blood will come up and they will use the apparatus for sugar test...
If the nurse is tired and forgot to change the lancet. My friend gave me a two box of Terumo Lancet. I tried to ***** my self for almost three times now (Pricked my self for almost one second) . The lancet is around 3 mm or 6 mm even I ***** my self for almost three times. There is no blood in the lancet. Even How may times I pricked my self .
Worst case scenario:
1. If there’s a blood on the lancet (hollow Needle) and reused to me by nurse. Do you think this isHepatitis risk?
2. . The alcohol can kill the Hepatitis Virus? Nurse swiped alcohol before he used the lancet to ***** my skin?

If you are not sure nurse changed lancet then yes that would be cause for concern and possible to pass Hepatitis C this way. Alcohol does not kill Hep C virus.
Wait 3-6 months and get tested.
