Hi, today while changing the needle from a novapen insulin for my mother whos a diabetic, I accidentally scratched my finger with it, to see if it was deep i squeezed it. first nothing happened but then i did it further more and a little blood came out, i cleaned the area with a sanitizer. Im a little worried if it may cause any sort of infection? please help
Hi, You had needled stick injury from your mothers used needle. You need to clean the wound with antiseptic solution like sprite and Betadine get a Chat Doctor.  Now you need to check for your mother infection status and accordingly tested for that (your mother infected with) with other viral marker (HIV, bag, CV).  Generally there are the least chance of needle stick infection but still there. There is no need to take any oral antibiotic until infected. Hope it'll help Thanks n regards
