Could she have aids?!


Question: she told me how in 7th grade sewing class she stuck needles through the very thin top layer of her skin. they didn't really go in her blood stream but they were in an extremely thin layer of her skin. they are sewing needles too. what are the chances? and is it even possible that she could have it with out blood to blood contact?

p.s. when i say thin, i mean like .10 of a mm thin.

Just the exposure to light would have killed any AIDS viruses in this incident. And without a penetration any deeper than 0.1 into the skin, she would not have caught anything else, given the fact that a primary function of skin is to protect against foreign microbes.

Please tell your friend to put this out of her mind.

Did someone else with aids get stuck with the needle?

i highly doubt it, don't worry

? No she's fine...

There are really no chances that she could have aids. This virus is very fragile and dies when dry. There would have to be actual wet blood of an infected person on that needle at the time of puncture. You can stop worrying and so can "she."

No, she won't have AIDS. You contract AIDS via the exchange of bodily fluids, not from something like that. Even if the needle had been in contact with an HIV/AIDS positive person first, her chances of getting it are very, very, slim.

It shouldn't be a problem. If you are obsessed about that, just go to have a check in the hospital.

no it depends on if the needle is sterile. But dont worry there is a very little chance. I poke myself all the time

has someone been used that needle?if no then she's ok,but u r better ask her check with DR 4 safety.

no becuse they would replace the needles if blood was on it and also it could be possable but if the dh found out it would shut the school down (deparment of health)

Not very likely ...AIDs cannot live outside of a human host for very long, and she would have to have had an infected persons body fluid on the needle, It is called a "Blood born pathogen" but it can be in other body fluids too.

No problem! I believe!!!
