Can HIV Be Transmitted Through Syringe?

My wife was cleaning our closet and she stepped on something and then she pulled it out of her feet right away and found out it was a very thin used syringe. we don t know where did it come from i don t know anything about it. Can she get HIV from that syringe? We have moved to this house for a year now.

no, there is almost neel chance of hiv from that. because hiv virus evenif present in that can not survive for lond time. so dont worry, still if you want to go for testing thatn go for confirmatory hiv testing after amonth of exposure. just for your mental peace.
