blood exposure from hiv patient

Published

Hi guys 2nd year RN here just wanna ask what are the chances of getting HIV from a patient? In my case, i received a superficial scratch when the patient was being ocmbative and pulling out his IV lines, so blood was there. But not sure if my scratch was in contact. So, the clinic said I have to take the medication regimen for a month, blurg. But they said its a small chance health care workers get it, so what are your experiences? Thanks!

thanks guys! I am just kinda scared because this is my first time doing it... lol, not like I wanna do it again but, blurg. thanks! :)

Just hoping you could give us an update? Hope you are doing well.
