tattoo risk
Hi, at first sorry for my english , i am not native speaker , but i would like know some answers on my questions. i had no sex explosure , but it has to do with my job and i am right now little bit scared.
1. I am tattoo artist and recenty have pricked my self with needle. the needle passed through the glove and left small ink spot in skin, but my wound was not bleeding and no hurt, so is there a chance to catch a virus in this manner?
2. how risky is when during tattoo session I get some small amount body fluids( blood mixed with green soap and ink ) in the mouth or on the lips? ( i had some sores in mouth and small wounds on the lips )
Thank you for your answers .

thank you for answer, also i have one add question, the last one - tattoo ink mixed with hiv blood and antibacterial soap can be potentially infectious or if the virus will come to contact with these substances immediately " dies" ? Thank you very much.

Let's make this simple. Which of the only 3 risks for HIV do you feel you had, otherwise you are making up your own science and it won't be possible to have a logical discussion.
I understand , i was just curious because i suffer with psoriasis for years and my wounds are healing slowly a after this all a i got candida infection and i lost some kilograms in weight , so i am interested if its could have something to do with hiv or not? ... i have forgot to mention , after needlestick incident i had antibody test for hiv/ hepatitis with negative result 10 weeks after needle stick incident , so how is test result reliable after that ? thank you and i promise this is my last question.
You haven't listed any risk so your fear makes no sense. therefore, your anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue at this point. So if you can't accept the science then you should consider therapy to help you in a one on one session to come to terms with the reality science.
No, HIV is a fragile virus with very limited methods to infect as you will read below
You had no risk for HIV so any test would be a waste of time.
There are only 3 ways HIV can be transmitted and you didn't do any of them.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established. No one got HIV from what you did in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you did to be less than that of being hit by a meteorite.
