What Should You Do If You Have Been Exposed To HIV?
If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to HIV, see your doctor immediately about postexposure prophylaxis (PEP), a treatment that--taken correctly-- may prevent about 80 percent of people who have recently been exposed to the virus from becoming infected with it.

Ha! Unfortunately that's not how things work... we have laws in place that protect folk against violence except of course in the hospital for nurses. I've been pricked with a needle while attempting to draw blood at least twice in my career. It requires having blood drawing at different intervals as well as screening the blood of the other person to determine whether there are communicable diseases for which drug therapy would need to immediately be implemented. Thank God that all is well with me and that the people who I was drawing blood on were not considered risks.
