A member asked:
Is there risk of hiv,hep c,the nurse vaccinating me didn't wash or sanitize her hands between patients & preparing small cotton balls wth her bare contaminated hand that she put afterward on injection site,what if her hand had blood frm other patient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is an extremely unusual and inconceivable situation as it rarely happens in our country. There is an overwhelming chance that you will not get any of these conditions unless the nurse has them . If what you observed is correct pl report it to the facility where you had the encounter so it does not continue
