A member asked:

Lancet use : (second time you asked) It is hard to be sure, as you realize, although most likely a health professional will use the proper protocol to protect patients. Are you at low risk of getting HIV or HCV if it was used by someone else, yes, although I think you are more at risk of having anxiety (especially asking twice)? See a primary care doctor and discuss your entire health with him/her.
