A member asked:
A week ago i got the vaccine against covid 19. during the vaccination process the nurse did not open a new syringe in my presence which made me think that she may have strained the syringe to another person with hiv or if the nurse herself is infect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no realistic possibility the nurse re-used a syringe. And the nurse being infected makes no difference: There are thousands of HIV infected doctors and nurses in the US, and none has ever infected a patient in the process of giving health care. This is nothing to worry about. (That's why health care providers are not required to disclose their HIV status to their patients.) No worries!
