Hi Teak,

I have few questions on HIV transmission. Could you pls clarify those:-

1. last week I steeped on a used needle and it got poked . What is the chance of infection.?
2. How quickly hiv dies in air? I dont know I long before it was used. But if I stepped on immediately after his use, wont I get infected?

I am very scared..

1. Zero for HIV
2. It doesn't die it was never alive. It is either active or inactive and once outside the host it's immediately inactive.

Within a minute? Or more?

Less.

Thanks. But making me worried is that if needle got poked immediately within few seconds? Wouldn't that be a concern?

[Teak]

It's a concern if you take the syringe straight from the user and "INJECT" it's contents into your vein.
