Please don’t worry — there is NO risk of HIV or rabies transmission in this situation.
HIV does not spread by touch or casual contact
Transmission requires infected blood entering bloodstream (e.g., shared needles)
Rabies vaccine is safe; minor bleeding after injection is common
Healthcare workers touching the site does not transmit infections
Health Tips
Your exposure is zero-risk, no testing or treatment needed.

Hii
Hiv usually spread via using same syringe in multiple patient.
So need to worry
Next Steps
Better take rabies intramuscular injection
0, 3, 7, 14, 28 days
total 5 dose
it's more protection compare to intradermal injection

Don't worry
HIV won't spread just touching the skin
It will spread infected syringes and through blood transfusion
So don't worry

Hello
First of all dont panic … Regarding your concern HIV virus doesn’t spread with touching though it spread with contact of infectious syringe or blood products or body fluids ..
Of course sepsis need to be maintained while giving the vaccine..
Health Tips
Better to go for IM vaccine more safe
