Hlo doctors my wife is a nurse in a hospital. Today while giving medicine to one of her hbsag patient through injection she mistakenly prik her skin by same injection. She immediately took anti dod and she is been crying and is in very traumatic situation. I can not see my wife going through that situation. Is there any high risk of getting hives.

Get her and the patient’s blood tested for hiv, hcv, hbsag, then take post exposure prophylaxis for one month in consultation with a doctor. You can consult me online if you want by booking and appointment.
