Would it help to wash right away & squeeze the blood out from the wound,if an hiv infected needle sticks you?

Here is the answers from the professionals and yes cleanse the wound immediately, then report and get tested. I am adding a page that gives step by step instructions. Source(s): http://www.inviromedical.com/safetyresou...
Immediate washing is very important. If you are in an environment where needlesticks are a hazard (i.e. hospital, etc), you should have a needlestick hotline you can call 24/7. They will instruct you and start you on prophylactic anti-retrovirals.
No. You will need to get to the hospital for a bloodtest and whatever medication they give you....ASAP. They will give you some sort of "cocktail" of medication that you will need to take. What you described will not work.
Yes, it is very important to wash it right away and have your doctor give you the antivirals,also get a Hep C test!!!
