Hi..please can u answer my question.. The other day I went to the sex clinic for advice..The clinic was running a Hiv clinic..When I sat on the chair I felt a strange sharp pain in my right leg.. I m worried I have been given Hiv from a used needle left on the chair which o didn t see..!!!! Would anyone just leave a needle on a chair.without the syringe???
Hi Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. First of all you don't be so worried because if you would have pricked by syringe needle you must have seen it. There will be prick mark on the sharp pain location, check it. Not possible, no body will leave needle on the bench, it is too deficult because of HIV clinic. Most important thing is to check the pain site is there any prick mark. Even if you feel you have got the one which seems to be deficult in practical situation, you need to visit a general physician and opt for HIV prophylaxis. You may need to take medicine for 4-6 months and you will not get AIDS. Hope your query is answered. Regards ...
