HIV and AIDS

Hi. Can I get HIV from dried blood? I went to the lab for blood checking and the lady drew my blood and accidently scratched the plastic tray before taking the blood and I didn’t see any visible blood on the needle. Can I get HIV in this way? I hope I was the first visitor on that day.

Hi. Such case eliminates the risk of infection, because it is not possible to transmit HIV through a plastic tray. The tray is not considered as a stabbing instrument to hold infected blood for transmission. Especially if you have not seen traces of blood, then there is nothing to worry about. Dried blood cannot transmit HIV.

Sincerely,
Umed Talbov.
