A member asked:

I was planting a tb test on a patient and got poked with the needle, i'm i at risk for hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Was it before you injected the patient or after? If after, you may ask the patient to get tested. If that is not feasible, take post-exposure prophylaxis. For info: https://www.hiv.gov/hiv-basics/hiv-prevention/using-hiv-medication-to-reduce-risk/pre-exposure-prophylaxis Wish you good health!
