Hi,

I admit your question is very interesting.

Yes, surgical needles can be bent, like boomerang or as a thermometer in shape.

Can ask any other question you might have.

Brief Answer:
No risk for HIV,see below...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX

I am sorry for the late reply due to my XXXXXXX clinical overload this weekend.

I think you are overreacting.

Now, if you found something like needle, wear gloves and remove from the road. Can take a photo and send to me.

If you touched it, just wash your hands with warm water and soap and apply alcohol hand desinfectant.

Please take note that HIV virus cannot survive outside body fluids. So, no chance for HIV.

Try to relax, avoid overreacting, keep good hygiene and everything is fine.

Now, I went through the photo you sent in and noted there is slight difference/enlargement of left side of face. To me it could be due to any bad teeth or throat infection with lymph nodes Infection.

It is temporary and with proper treatment will be OK.

Let me know if you have any bad teeth or flu like symptoms recently?

All the best.
