Teenage girl of Brighton sat on a needle in a bus and is now getting her blood tested for HIV

#brighton #brightonandhove #HIV #hepatitis This can happen to anyone of us and the 16-year-old girl of Brighton never expected to be running about trying to get her blood tested for HIV – she had boarded a bus No 24 and did not notice the needle lying on the seat. She sat down on it and after feeling the prick she realized the danger.
She is now awaiting blood test results as reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 29 March 2015.

She was traveling on the upper deck of the Brighton and Hove Bus Company and she had to spend the next four hours in hospital where she was given a hepatitis jab and had blood tests. It seems she experienced the shooting pain in the back of her leg. When she down she pulled out a needle that had broken in half. Moreover, on the side of the bus seat there were packets and a syringe on the floor along with the remaining portion of the needle.
The bus company is examining the CCTV footages while the Sussex police are also investigating.
