Scared - HIV Risk, please help

[raju0456]

Hi , I have recently gone to a small hospital where I came across the below happening.

He has new syringe/needle to inject a person and then he washed the syrige and needle to draw medicine from other rubber necked small glass bottle and did second injection to her with same syrige and needle .

I have taken injection at the same hospital later on. My doubt is if the medicine he has given to me was also exposed to any needle used for other person will there be any risk for HIV here ?

Also, please confirm if the virus can still live in the rubber necked bottle as the syringe/needle are thoroughly washed before drawing medicine.

Next time you go to a hospital and think you have seen this or something else that frightens you, you should talk to the nurse so they can explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. You will not have to worry afterwards.

Actually, I have asked them.They said that since they are injecting same person, they are using same syringe/needle to draw medicine from bottle and inject the person. Please confirm again if there is any risk if the medicine from such bottle might have been drawn to give injection to me ?

You have been fully advised of the ways that HIV can be transmitted.  There is no need to continue to ask about no-risk events.

You have many posts about hiv. Here is one that lists the only 3 ways to get hiv - however you were told that same advice on other threads, which is why they were closed. Nothing that you claimed happened in your hospital is in the list - therefore you should be pleased to know that AGAIN, so you can move on to enjoy your life.
