Blood in gloves and HIV infection
      #254632 - 03/04/11 08:06 AM

One week ago, I visited a lab to get my blood test done. I noticed that the lab technician had blood stains on his gloves. Never thought of asking him to change the gloves. But after few days, I realized that the blood stains in his gloves could have carried HIV germs and the needle would have the virus before the insertion in my vein. And after the blood had been collected, he used the same glove to cover the vein. The blood was still coming out from my vein. Could the blood from the glove and vein re-entered the vein.Can HIV transmit in this manner? I'm really scared.

no, HIV cannot be transmitted in this manner. it seems from your past posts, you are quick to worry about HIV. i suggest you address the underlying sources of your paranoia.
