Sara Care Plastic Needle Lancets

studies have shown that HIV can survive in syringes for up to six weeks, while hepatitis C can remain detectable for two months

Dear lybrate-user there is no contact between the drawing syringe apparatus and disposable needle. The other end of the needle has a rubber sheath that prevents any blood leaking into the holder. When the technician presses the vacutainer against the rubber sheath, the needle enters the vacutainer and vacuum inside the container sucks the blood inside the vial. Pl don't loose your sleep over silly things.

It may cause HIV and many infections...like tetanus etc...and if you have injured then you should go for a HIV test

Hello lybrate-user, from what you said, I think your fear is unwanted, here the tech was removing the plastic hub of the needle so that the blood would flow freely. In this there is no risk of hep b, c or hiv as you think.

Dear, there is no such normal or abnormal cut. For virus to be attacked, only a simple small-minute prick of needle can cause whole disease in a person. Please get checked yourself by someone physician whom you are consulting regularly.
