Hospital Visit
Last week I was in hospital for having antibiotics injection, the sister said that I have to make allergy test under skin. The injection was too much thin, by chance the injection have inserted in nurse glove for a second which the glove was like rubber (Yellow Color), I didn't feel that injection have pricked the sister skin and the glove looks clean (The illumination was not good enough).
The needle stick to glove then nurse removed it and released 2-3 drops for dismiss the air, after that quickly wiped alcohol on my hand and injected few medicine under my skin.
In the next day I asked the nurse if the needle have pricked here or not, she said no
In the next day I asked the nurse if the glove new, she said yes
In the next day I requested the nurse to perform Hepatitis C and HIV Combo, The test machine was Architect and the result for both Non-Reactive
1. In case of any contamination, are the viruses of HCV and HIV can be transmitted through under skin injection (no blood from the point of apply) ?
2. Is it correct that very thin needle like above not transmitting viruses ?
3. If the nurse in window period and the needle pricked here without noticed blood, Is this a risk for HCV and HIV ?
4. Do I have any risk for HCV and HIV if same glove used by the previous patient where some blood on the glove but I didn’t notice?
5. Do you recommend any further tests ?
6. Is the test HCV PCR RNA after 2 weeks of this incident conclusive ? or 3 weeks ?
7. is HIV Combo test at 28 days and after conclusive now ?

Hi I understand, English is not your first language
People do want to help it is just what you have described there is no cause for worry.

Hi, it is not about demanding, I am just trying to understand which a lot of confusing on net.
No blood have noted but the needlr too much thin and maybe inserted on her hand without external bleeding.

Hi, none of what you mention is a risk for contracting HIV. Its contracted by sharing IV drug needles from street users not from what you describe.

In hospital we could meet a lot of different people, please try to answer my question s
It isn't polite to be demanding toward those who took the time to help you. Dave did answer your question - you had no risk.
Risks are:
1) having unprotected, insertive anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with IV drug users.
Do not do either of those and you will never have to worry about HIV. There is no need to answer each of the questions one-by-one. No risk, and no need to test.
