Risk of infection from contaminated sharps
If a needle-stick injury occurs, there is a risk of infection from transmittable diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
Following a needle-stick injury, the individual should urgently contact the emergency services. They should also follow the first aid guidance which includes encouraging the wound to bleed and thoroughly washing the wound with water and soap.
