Needle Stick
I was cleaning out a bedroom yesterday and got poked by a tattoo multi needle. This needle is at least a month old and was found under a bed. Do I need to worry or would anything that could be transmitted have died long before I was stuck. Thank you for your help
You really dont need to worry. I have read many sites and there are no actual cases of hiv from tattoos and i know this is slightly different but hiv cannot live outside the body for this long or hardly at all. The only thing i would do.i is maybe keep an eye on it and put some antiseptic cream on so it doesnt get spetic. The chances of hiv from this are zero dont panic
