@doctorsood: Have you ever experienced a needlestick injury before? For healthcare workers, it’s one of the most feared occupational exposures. The moment can feel terrifying, but the actual risk of HIV transmission from a needlestick is much lower than most people assume. Rapid treatment with post-exposure prophylaxis and careful follow-up testing are key parts of modern safety protocols.

Yea this assumes a DR is willing to write a prescription which doesn’t always happen from experience in exposure because ‘the risk is too small not worth it’ It shouldn’t require a MD order.

This happened to me at the beginning, and the height of the AIDS . Had to get blood taken every week.The waiting was horrible. No one knew anything about the virus at the time.

Omg people can we pull ourselves together and realize they can prevent the transmission. There’s too much stigma. Not to mention a single prick does not absolutely mean transmission.

The amount that medicine has come since the beginnings of HIV/AIDS is amazing. My brother passed in 1992. Sorry, the stigma hasn't gone away, though.
