Quick question

[donallen999]

If during a blood draw, a persons blood was drawn into a partially used blood vial containing infected blood, is it possible that the other persons blood in the vial can flow out through the needle and into the vein?

I see from your profile you asked this very same question here a few days back and got  many good answers from folks here. The answers won"t change now that a few days have passed. You have also posted on a couple of other forums on this same question and they have also answered.


It would seem that some help with your anxiety would be what you are looking for rather than help about HCV.

Good luck  WILL

Well, there was definitely blood to blood contact, but the vacuum of the draw would be pulling everything AWAY from you, not pushing it TOWARDS you.

I dunno, I suspect that as long as there was no blood being directed back into your bloodstream, the physics of the situation make it unlikely. However, you might wish to get a test in a couple months just to make sure.

The bigger question is, how could someone possibly make such a grevious error in practice?

Goodness.
