A member asked:
What to do if i got pricked by a needle used by my dad who's hepatitis b positive!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Are you immune?: Hopefully you have been immunized against hepatitis B. If you haven't been, hope that Dad's reasonably fresh blood isn't on the needle. If it's a sewing needle, you're probably fine. If it's a needle for injecting drugs, the situation may be more serious.
