Needle Infection and HIV

Needle infection are caused by unsanitary injections of various substances, unclean or used needles, and HIV infection can easily be transmitted by using someone else’s needle to inject drugs into your bloodstream. HIV and AIDS go hand in hand, and the two diseases together make a highly lethal combination. In the United States, anyone who has HIV is legally required to inform his or her sexual partners of their infection, so that anyone who is having sex with them can make an informed decision about their own health.

Also in the U.S., if someone fails to inform his or her sexual partners of their infection, they can end up infecting a large number of people, as the disease travels from partner to partner without anyone knowing about it. In this case, the person who started the viral transfer at the beginning of the spread can be prosecuted for murder, sometimes multiple accounts of murder, since their negligence was what caused many other people to die.

Needle infections can occur in any situation where drugs are being transmitted through them, and risk of infection increases with the number of people who use the needles together. It is really a very dangerous situation, and it bodes extremely ill for anyone who is still healthy and does not yet have one of these life threatening diseases.

Sexually transmitted and needle transmitted diseases are some of the most easily spread viruses on earth. It is not so much a matter of breathing the same air as the infected person, but that you have the same unsanitary habits as them.

Sometimes, people at work share cups of coffee or drink from another’s cup when at work. This can bring a great deal trouble to you if you unknowingly and without the other person knowing it either took a drink from the cup of someone with HIV. Sharing bodily fluids is all it takes. Most infected people, however, are overly cautious and particular about people drinking from their water bottles and so on, so this is rarely a problem.

Keep the rest of the problems out of your company with employee drug testing.
