Hi guys!
I'm a realativly new 18 year old EMT and I've been working on an als bus for about 6 months now. A few weeks ago the medic was trying to teach me how to use the glucometer and I swabed off the area and pricked myself. In this instance and many other instances I have dealt with blood. I'm not sure if this is a rookie crisis but I'm kind of freaking out thinking some how I got HIV from a clean needle. Please let me know
a) What I should do
And b) if I'm being an irrational 18 year old
