I took rabies vaccine 5 days before. Before i reached the medical they already kept vaccine loaded syringes in a open plastic container. One ice packet also there. I saw one used syringe was there without needle in the same container. So my vaccine loaded syringe, one ice packet and one used syringe without needle all are in a same container. The little moisture water also there due to ice packet. The used syringe may b used for RIG - rabies immunoglobulin to a patient. If that used syringe is contaminated with hiv. Due to moisture Whole container and my vaccine loaded syringe will be contaminated? As all are in a same container. How much risk for HIV and rabies for me ? I am very much tensed after this incident. Please help and what step should i take now ?

There is no need to worry, for future such doubts, always ask the service provider to discard used syringes as per the protocol for your own safety
