How likely is the contraction of hiv or hepatitis c from intramuscular injections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Intramuscular injections use sterile needles; there is absolutely no reason why you would use nonsterile needles in any sort of reputable site, so you should be safe. If these are self-administered with reused needles, then i would definitely recommend getting screened.
