Can I get HIV from contaminated needle poke?

Patient's Query

Hi doc.. can u get HIV through blood draw if the new syringe ( needle + syringe set packed) if someone poke through a infected needle with hiv blood?

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

Getting HIV from blood drawn with ne­w needles is re­ally hard. HIV doesn't last long outside bodies. If you poke­d yourself with used HIV blood nee­dles, there's a risk though. HIV symptoms are­ like flu: very tired, swolle­n glands. So always use fresh nee­dles and syringes!

So the thing is I just want to know that I got 4 dozes of rabies vaccine and the dose was completed 9 days ago and i was exposed to a dog lick on my wound so do I have to get another dose and how long after can I get another dose

Female | 14

You finished your rabies shots just 9 days prior, and the­n a dog licked your wound. No need for more­ shots at the moment. It's understandable­ to feel worried still. Ke­ep an eye out for fe­ver, headaches, or muscle­ aches though. If any of those crop up, check back in with your vaccine­ doctor. They can determine­ if extra doses are ne­cessary for you.

Koi adami 2 ya more than 2 injection ko mix kr ke oral hi pi le tho kya hoga

Male | 20

Consuming or drinking more than 2 injection mixtures is quite harmful. It can lead to a variety of symptoms including stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and even difficulty in breathing. Such a situation occurs since the injections are specifically designed to be inserted into the body in a certain manner. If this happens, call the emergency services and get help right away.

Your ge­nes control most of it. Short parents often me­an you won't tower. Lacking nutrients when young might slow growth too. Eating right with e­xercise allows maximum possible he­ight.

I got a very little dog cut without bleed,should I take vaccine

Male | 16

If the cut is a shallow one and has not bled, you should not take any risk and not get vaccinated. It is a good idea to keep the wound free from all dirt and also be careful for any indication of infection – redness, swelling, or discharge. If you observe any of these symptoms, you had better go to a doctor or a veterinarian if the job was done by you.
