 After a potential exposure, the CDC usually recommends testing out til 6 months. The extent of your exposure will depend on several things including the amount of blood on the needle, the size of the needle etc. You will want to discuss this further with your own physician who knows more about the circumstances of your exposure. | ||||||||
