Clinic Risk?
Hello Experts,
I visited a STD clinic in Bangkok to have HIV blood test, I'm concerned with infection by visiting this clinic.
I asked a nurse to ensure she uses a new needle, yes she replied a new needle.
Could I be infected by other means, like contaminated cotton pads to clean my skin before drawing blood, and stop bleeding or her gloves being contaminated with other bloods? Is it possible? Did anyone ever get infected by visiting STD clinic?
Best Regards
