Get tested and stop worrying now safe injection policy have been implemented every where

Please do not panic - the real-world risk here is extremely small. In clinics and hospitals disposable auto-lock syringes are the norm now, and re-use of a syringe on two people is very rare. Even in a documented needle-stick with an infected person's blood, the risk of HIV is under 0.3 percent, hepatitis C about 1.8 percent, and hepatitis B is the highest but is preventable by vaccination. With an unknown and most likely clean needle, your risk is negligible. Still, for your peace of mind, the correct approach is simple testing. Get an HIV 4th generation antigen/antibody (HIV Duo) test, HBsAg and anti-HCV done now as a baseline, and repeat HIV Duo plus anti-HCV at 6 weeks and again at 3 months from the date of the injection - a negative HIV test at 3 months rules it out conclusively. If you are not already vaccinated against hepatitis B, take the vaccine schedule (0, 1 and 6 months) irrespective of this incident, as it protects you lifelong. Do also check anti-HBs 1-2 months after the last dose to confirm protection. In future you may simply ask the person to open a fresh syringe in front of you - it is a reasonable request. There is no need for any medicine or post-exposure prophylaxis at this stage since the exposure was a week ago and of unknown, very low risk. If you develop fever with rash, jaundice, yellow urine or persistent fatigue, get reviewed sooner. I am available on Practo consult or at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj if you want to go over your reports.

Hi All the standard hospitals, clinics and labs have strict rules to use disposable syringes and needles for all injectable medicines. They throw the syringes into assigned bins. These are one time use syringes. Don't think much. The person who gave you TEtanus injection should have loaded the vial and bought it for you. That's why u are suspecting this. But don't worry. No healthcare professional would do that. You are just assuming things. Take care of yourself

Need not to worry or negative thanking Disposable syringe used these days and no will use one syringe for multiple injection......

Kindly consult with me on 94 two six eight six 78 nine six for proper guidance and treatment.

Do viral markers

Don't worry as no body uses used needle these days. Take care of your health

Most of the labs use disposable syringes to collect blood.You don't need to be concerned about the disease transmission

Overthinking

OVERTHINKING,  inquire about your  doubt.

Please clarify,  whether tetanus toxoid was taken from same vial or same used  syringe and needle was reused? Risk is only if used syringe and needle is reused. Get tests done for hepatitis B,  c, hiv, done to clear your doubt.

You can get viral markers..

Don't worry , now a days ,everyone use new injection, because its single use only.

Most of the times the healthcare workers use new injection so you dont have to worry.

I am positive that if you have taken from a legitimate clinic or hospital they might have used a sterile injection but if you are unsure or have any doubts please do a serology blood test for hiv, hep b and hep c. It is available in all the labs.
