Cereal Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Did the needle penetrate his skin? Did he go to the hospital to be checked for any number of diseases, HIV being just one. This story is lacking pertinent details. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the whole point was not to let your guard down and be observant. I'm sure it was more of a warning, but should have included all the steps he should have taken considering the circumstance.

HIV is not the issue here, as no fresh blood, and HIV does not survive long outside of ideal conditions; Hep"C" lives outside the body for long periods. The story said syringe not syringe and needle No problem if no penetration of skin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJRS1301 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I have just seen the photograph, that is not a syringe, that is a needle. Where are the gloves on the person handling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
