A member asked:

Does anyone got hiv from a blood testing lab,if lab technician reused lancet. is there any case of hiv reported other than health care workers due to reused lancet stick injury?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lancet use : (the third 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 3 times))? See a primary care doctor and discuss your entire health with him/her.
