Damn. I thought my life was challenging. Go on that post exposure prophylaxis, I heard it's available for emergency cases?

That sucks serious.

Yep. Basically dropped what I was doing on my shift and went straight to our emergency department. Thankfully since it happened at work they're covering all of the lab work and anti-retrovirals since they are quite expensive for the full course. Not excited about the medication side effects but it beats HIV. Known risk of working in a hospital and I'm extra pissed at myself because I went into that room cautious. Can't win them all.

You had a tough dice roll there. Good job you went to ER immediately. I couldn't see any exact percentages but I reckon you have a very high chance of not getting HIV (assuming that needle stick would have infected you, which is in itself not that high of a chance).

So most likely you'll be alright. Maybe take some stuff at home for your immune system as well, like vitamin c or something. (as well as the post exposure prophylaxis medication of course).

Crossing my fingers for you.

Maybe this is a sign for you to get out of working in the healthcare industry srs. (you said you're a male nurse).

Fuk dude.. Sorry to hear that. As a retired Corrections Officer I delt with a lot of aggressive inmates with HIV and consider myself lucky that nothing even close to what happened to you, happened to me.

On a side note. Tried giving blood before a hip replacement, they tested for my blood type, and told me they don't need mine.

Yeah, they have yearly education about accidental needlesticks etc and thankfully the percentages are definitely in my favor. I appreciate the concern and finger crossing. I'm starting clinical rotations in a month to finish up my nurse practitioner courses so I will only be doing bedside nursing for about another 1.5 years.

Ooh, I can't even imagine some of the stuff you probably saw, haha. And you must be in an area where you have plenty of active donors. I regularly get automated or live phone calls from our blood bank, and I have boring A+ blood type.

Thanks and wow that's awful, I'm sorry to hear that happened. Hope nothing transmitted and you come out clear from it.

Last donation was 10/3/18

Going again for a double red on 11/6/18

Note: The recommended donation interval is every 56 days. When your hemoglobin is 18.8, a little shorter time frame isn't going to hurt

We do drives twice a year at my job. I need to get on donating in between those. I missed the last drive at work because I had to WAH that day.

Just gave my first donation a few weeks ago. Something Iโ€™ve wanted to do for ages and finally did it. Got my next one booked in a few weeks. Blood type is A+



I only eat food in bar form. When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power, I'm told. That's why I'm compressing 5 pounds of spaghetti into one handy mouth-sized bar...

Hospital please.

I have been a big believer in blood donation for years. I average 6X per year. 4X if I do a Double Red Blood Cell donation which requires 4 months before next donation.

If a mod needs verification of this information I will be happy to oblige via PM - for privacy reasons.

Great thread. Sorry just discovered. Saw link on Mod dj's signature, so to her credit I am here.

I'm going to be giving blood for the first time this year - I've never done it due to a fear of needles but having had a motorcycle accident that nearly killed me earlier in the year, and having blood taken 29 times due to internal injuries, I'm over it and ready to give back.
