Hi Kari,
Well in your case, since you were bleeding it did hit a blood supply but i would not worry too much as some blood did come out and also forced any germs out with it. Just go see a doctor and tell what happened and they will recommend any testing needed. I would definatley see a doctor about this but im sure your just fine.
You should post this on the STD forum for other replys or even the HIV forum
Hi there...can I ask where you live?
i live in india. They had even published something like that in news paper. I only bleed less infact very less. And i don't think so that needle went too deep inside my skin but yes it pierced my skin.
but police and local health department has said that transmission from such incident has never happened so no need to worry for this. I don't know how long that needle was present or who kept that. But there were guys with the age of 25 to 27 were sitting around me.
I only asked because people from a high incidence area tend to have more HIV anxiety and India fits the bill but you obviously saw the needle. The advice you have gotten is good advice -- I see that you asked on the HIV forum. Keep up the vigilence in watching where you sit. I cannot believe that people do this actually.
i don't even know if the needle went enough deep. In my view it wasn't too deep. I would say around 2mm. My question was how long it has to reach to inject into blood stream.
Can i be sure that it was no risk if i'd not bleed?
