HIV Worry

[RathiG]

Recently i checked sugar of a patient ...a lady whose age is about 56 year old.
My worry starts after checking her sugar levels...
As when i put lancet again in its cap to dispose it ...by mistake that lancet prick me ...
No blood was drawn from my thumb.
Is there any concern regarding HIV.
I dont no her status.

The only risks for HIV transmission in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.

Nothing else you can think of, including the event you mentioned, would put you at risk for HIV. A lancet is NOT a needle with a syringe.

If you are performing this test on other people as part of your job, you need to talk to your employer about infection control, and about your unfounded concerns about HIV.

I doesn't matter how much blood was on the lancet or how much time had passed.  A lancet is never a risk for HIV transmission.
