Hi I was drunk and my friends took me to Red light area..where i did not have sex, just dancing in the music...but somehow the sex worker pricked me with something...i felt as if it was her nail. Little blood almost negligible came out..but after some time i realised it might be pin or a needle too. So was worried should I go for HIV 4th generation test after 28 days?
Hi. Transmission of HIV in such a manner is highly unlikely. Usually transmission of HIV occurs when blood/secretions of an infected person having this virus enters the body of an uninfected person. This can happen during sex, during blood transfusion and prick by infected needles. In your case scenario for infection to occur that sex worker must be HIV positive, there should be virus in blood of that sex worker and the object which pricked you should be soiled with blood/internal secretions having virus and then that prick should have occurred in such a way to deliver virus to your blood vessels. All of these events are highly unlikely. So, there is no big reason to worry as there is only a theoretical possibility of transmission not likely to be real. I would be glad to answer any further queries you may have in the future. Regards.
