my husband works in a jail. today he was testing some prisoners blood sugar and the prick thingy started to fall. hubby grabbed it. yep you guess it. he got stuck! the guy tells him he is hiv negative but is hep c positive!!!!!!! oh dear heavens! hubby told his supervisor and she did nothing. so hubby tells me about it when I picked him up. I made him call his captain as soon as we got home. now he has to go to the dr in the morning for testing! I told him no kissing me and no fooling around til who knows whenever! I am freaking out here! errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thanks buggie. I am terrified right now!

septy...hon thank you. right now it feels so strange. he is about to go to the er. his bosses have been calling all morning! I prayed last night like I haven't in a long time. this is scarey to say the least. I can't imagine not being able to kiss his lips again or kissing them any time soon. I don't think they will know today. I wonder if it is kind of like when someone is exposed to hiv? test retest and retest again.

I'm so sorry to hear of this happening....good gracious how scary for you both.

I'm glad that someone at the jail finally realized that this is nothing to sneeze at and are actively supporting your hubby right now.

Keeping you both in my prayers hon.

the results are going to take some time to be definite, possibly many months
we think, if you ask you doctor, you will find that HIV & hep C cannot be transmitted by kissing
sex using a condom (please excuse our frankness) is also likely to be safe

needle stick injuries are, unfortunately, a common hazard in some fields of employment, so sorry this happened
best wishes in your efforts to cope with this & may all the tests remain negative

I do hope all will be OK, I said a prayer for you and your husband and do hope that you can remain hopeful during the next few weeks or how long it may take. I am glad that he did not let them just let it go or blow it off, as he has every right to seek medical treatment and be take serious in a matter such as this. Take Care KK101
