Hiv through used syringe
I met with an accident a month ago and was shiffted to a renowned hospital.
Usually i check is a new injection is used or not but that day somehow i missed it .
I am not sure if the needle/syringe was new or not.
Does such practice still go on in a renowned medical institution where they are well aware of the fact of hiv transmission.
Usually a month later i started experiencing signs of depression ?
Can you please help me on this

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
No one uses used syringes.
I don't know why you even have this doubt.
It's good to be careful though.
A disposable syringe hardly costs 10 rupees.
And the fact that they are disposable, they are disposed off.
I don't think you should be worried.
You can get yourself tested though.
Best regards.
