needle poke
I went for a pool party today at friends farm and there were some guys injecting drugs or drawing blood i don't know what were they doing but they were using injections in a group of five.
After using the injection they just threw it next to the pool and after a minute or two approximately the needle poked me on my feet fortunately the needle was not attached to the plastic syringe or plunger when they threw it got separate from the injection.
the needle went in my feet and pricked me hard and i had to take it out.
now i am worried since these guys have a reputation of injecting drugs and are always high and share syringes i am worried if they had hiv can i also get hiv from that needle?
Should i take pep as its just 4 hours back this incident happened and i am very stressed out

thanks nurse girl,
definitely i won't go to such parties rather if i knew it was kind of rave party i wouldn't have gone their..
but please can u explain me what u told me ....
People who shoot up don't use two-part syringes, they use insulin or tuberculin syringes, which do not come apart into a needle and a syringe, it's all one piece.
i mean why dont they or can't they use two part syringe...

1. Why are you even in a place where people are shooting up?
2. If you knew they threw the needle why did you even walk near it?

because you were not injected with the syringe,you were just poked by the needle.
thanks
hcv means hepatitis c i guess sure i will get tested for hep c
but are u sure there is no risk of hiv from this needle accident as it just happened a minute after they used that needle and that needle was from a syringe and hollow??
and can u explain me why its not a risk??

It's not an HIV risk because HIV becomes inactive once exposed to air but I would test for the HCV.

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
The above statement told as though you yourself witnessed this.
After using the injection they just threw it next to the pool and after a minute or two approximately the needle poked me on my feet fortunately the needle was not attached to the plastic syringe or plunger when they threw it got separate from the injection.
Again, told from 1st person perspective.
People who shoot up don't use two-part syringes, they use insulin or tuberculin syringes, which do not come apart into a needle and a syringe, it's all one piece.
Time to move on....you don't have an HIV risk.
ALL the time we get people who come here and make up outrageous stories just to feed their need to have an anxiety fueled question answered. We see it every day. My only advice to you is to not attend parties where people are using and sharing IV drug works.
