Dear Moderator: Worry about the route of blood examination
today is my 95th day after the last exposure to CSW.
so i went to the infection disease hospital to have my HIV AB-AG test.
before my turn, there was an Hiv carrier had been drained blood from the vein.
i knew this because i happened to see the diagnosis certification.
and here was my turn for the blood harvest.
but to my surprise, the nurse didn't change or sterilize the gloves.
Even i didn't see any "red spot" on the gloves, but i was not quite sure about this. And i didn't know wheather the gloves had been contacted by the patient's blood.
And the nurse sterilized my skin, by the same time, using the gloves to find my vein.
and then she used a disposal needle to puncture the vein at the same location where she touched me.
here was the question:
i was not sure the nurse's gloves had been contaminated by the HIV virus
if DID!!!!
the same touching location puncture cloud cause the virus coming into my vein directly?
Thank you guys!
i am very WORRIED!!!

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
