A member asked:
Can i get hiv from used lancet if after 10 seconds passed the same lancet were used over me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it might. The risk is low -- the main HIV risk from skin punctures is from hollow injection needles. But use of a shared lancet that quickly possibly could transmit HIV. Don't do it.
