A member asked:
If a person is hiv postive and when for ear pirecing, will the next person get infected too if the gun use is not sterlised properly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There is always a potential; that being said, the nail piercing gun shoves the stud through the ear, and is left there; most blood is at the site, and a minimal amount would be on the gun, so the risk is pretty low. Always go to a place that has properly sterilized equipment, though.
