Injection risk!

[Please_Dr_Helpme]

Hi experts,

Today I was bitten by a dog, so I felt to have to go a hospital to take some sort of drug injections to prevent me frlom getting infected for a bite.

I sit on in at injection desk, I saw a nurse removing a box -- it left 2 strains of visible blood on the desk. I asked her to clean it she used a cotton of alcohol and I did not see clean her hand. And I noticed she took care a one person who had severe blooding before she came to inject me.

She said the needle would only touch the seals drugs and my shoulder. She said "dont be worry".

Do I need to test PEP, when I sustained I think it was an unprofessional behaviour.

Since you didn't answer the QUESTION in the previous advice on May 13, I will do it for you. No there wasn't a penis in my anus (at the injection desk) and she didn't inject me with a SHARED hollow needle so I had no risk and should move on instead of asking irrelevant questions. https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Clinic-Risk/show/3071122

I do understand conventional risk, sir. But I just wonder this could lead to infection since it was a presence of blood strains on the table and this table was being used as a drug preparation table, and her hands might be contaminated since I saw one pertient her took care had a severe bleeding.

You have been made aware of what risks for HIV are and this isn't one of them

*Do I need to get PEP?

one last time. Risks for HIV: having unprotected vaginal sex, having unprotected anal sex (that means a penis IN a vagina or anus without a condom) OR sharing injecting IV needles to INJECT drugs.  From that information, you should deduce you had ZERO risk and obviously would not need pep.
