If a nurse reuse a hiv tained needle on a non-hiv person to draw some blood out would it show up on the test?

i mean the hiv is inside the needle and draws blood out would it show up on the test

yes it would, remember some hospitals in the uk don't do the test in there department they sent it off.

there is a higher chance of hiv being showed up on the test

yes , but the earliest it will show up will be in like 48hrs or later. the tests used are extremely expensive called PCR and also after about 2wks by another really expensive test called p24 capture assay.
the cheapest test called elisa will become positive by a month or so

but the chances of spread are quite minimal
but a check up essential

Very likely, the amount of blood remaining on the needle would not be of sufficient quantity to cause a positive result. However, Esh F is right about a dirty needle having been used is a great way to contract HIV or other blood borne illnesses, and the nurse should have damn well known better. If this happened to you, I strongly sugguest you report to the doctor/hospital what occured.

The test is does NOT detect the actual virus. The test detects your body's immune RESPONSE TO the virus. It detects antibodies your body creates when you have the infection, and these antibodies are specific to the HIV virus so there is very little room for error. It takes between 6 months to a year, sometimes longer, sometimes less time, to detect the immune response (antibodies) to HIV. It varies from person to person.

Also, Congress is working on a bill that would deem ignorance an invalid excuse for HIV transmission. Meaning you can't say "I didn't know" and get away with it. Transmission of HIV from person to person, when the trail can be proven, is a great way to get convicted of attempted murder. If you even suspect you have HIV, and someone you slept with who was clean contracts it, you may well be battling it out in court.

Blood exchange is definitely a highly contagious way to contract HIV. The nurse herself should have known better than to reuse a needle like that since this is how drug addicts contract diseases like HIV or Hepatitis by sharing or re-using needles. First of all, there is a slight to moderate chance that the non-HIV person might not contract HIV. But do not hope for the best and avoid getting tested as this is a dangerous as well as reckless policy to follow.

The way the HIV test works is to test for HIV antibodies the immune system produces in response to the virus. The production of antibodies requires time so it is recommended that with each possible exposure to HIV, the person should be tested regularly for at least a year after the exposure. So, if you get tested a month or two after exposure and receive a negative result, it might not be an accurate result as it is possible that your body simply hasn't produced enough HIV antibodies that is measurable by the HIV blood test. Although people present it as a test that you take once, it is also possible to receive a false positive so a confirmatory test is recommended in the case of a positive result.

yes boss its Dangerous.

quit asking!!

OH MY GOD--YOU NEED TO REPORT THAT NURSE TO AUTHORITIES IMMEDIATELY!!!! If you dont you are just as guilty as she is--and I hope is wasnt YOU who did that to someone. (and I also hope that you werent the victim).
