Sister used a syringe to load sterile water into anti rabies power bottle after she loaded she shaken the bottle and after that she taken a new insulin syringe injection and loaded the vaccine and given me to the deltoid area. I don't know whether the syringe used first, I mean which is used to load sterile water, I don't know whether it is already used or not. If such syringe is used will hiv transmit through arv vaccine ?? Will virus survive in vaccine liquid??? Any transmission risk
