A member asked:

I got stick with sharp point like sewing need picked tool. i immediately washed with soap water. blood stopped in a minute. worry hiv hep b c infect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax: These viruses don't survive after the blood dries. And tool surfaces are seldom blood-contaminated. I'm glad you're careful and health-conscious, but this time, you'll be fine.
