Hiv Risk
I am a paramedic, tonight I put an IV into a patient who is HIV +. When I pulled out the needle from the cathader a small amount of blood got on my lip. Can anyone help me or tell me what my risks are? Thank you..
Dear tony,even if you drank a bit of blood,assuming no cuts in your mouth you are ok, your incident does not require testing,
