Lancet prick panic

[Vive96778]

I went for diabetic test in a Pharmacy and I feel the health worker didn't change the Lancet before he pricked me. CanI get HIV?

[AnxiousNoMore]

No, it has to be an injection with a hollow needle.

Thanks a lot but I worried a lot after reading this https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.timesofindia.com/city/varanasi/2-test-positive-for-hiv-after-getting-tattoos-in-kashi/amp_articleshow/93383813.cms

It doesn't matter how worried you are - a lancet is not, and never will be, a risk for HIV.

Thanks for the reply . But I see some news that few People gets HIV after tatooing. If there is a risk in tatoo needle, Can we say 100% no risk with Lancet? Sorry if my comment is stupid

As you were advised, a lancet prick is not a risk for HIV.
