I am 20 years old. I worked at a primary health camp center today i.e 16th june, and unfortunately a needle used on one of the patients with potential hiv virus had pierced my finger around 4 pm today. I'm seeking for any available post exposure prophylaxis treatment.

Dear user. Thanks for the question. Hiv spread through contact between broken skin, wounds, or mucous membranes and hiv-infected blood or blood-contaminated body fluids. Deep, open-mouth kissing if both partners have sores or bleeding gums and blood from the hiv-positive partner gets into the bloodstream of the hiv-negative partner. Hiv can not spread through saliva. Take care.
