A member asked:

I took blood test and they used lancet to draw blood from fingerprick the thing is i didn't noticed whether they used new lancet or not but i saw him disposing after using me can i get hiv,hbv or hcv any chance? if i'm at risk what test to be take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
