Good evening sir I went for vaccination of my child. There nurse staff person break the vaccination ampoule (vial) with force of hands and didn't wear gloves also and while doing so, small glass of ampoule hurt in nurse finger. It was small cut and then he handed over broken ampoule (vial) to other staff. So doubt are coming in my mind that if some blood drop gets inside ampoule and mix with vaccine because after this nurse took that vaccination in syringe and gave injection into the thighs of my child. Can it make the solution infected by HIV. I may not sure if any blood get inside ampoule or not. What is the possibility of getting hiv if some spill of blood gets inside ampoule (vial. How long HIV survive in the vaccine even if some infected blood is entered in it.

First Of all you have to understand that only if the person has HIV in him or her the virus can be transmitted . you are unnecessarily worrying and from your description the blood might not have got inside the vial and the nurse may not ahve the virus in her as the medical personnel are usually checking their HIV status

It is unlikely to be mixed with drop of blood and I don't see any reason to be worried. This happens quite a few times.
