HIV positive nurse injects baby with needle she used on herself

Needle with drop of bloodIn Uganda, an HIV positive nurse has injected a 2-year old baby with a needle she had used on herself.

The baby’s parents discovered the nurse at Victoria Medical Centre, injecting their child with a needle after taking the baby girl to the hospital for a treatment. It was discovered soon after that the nurse was HIV positive and had used a needle on the baby that had made contact with her own blood.

The nurse claims that she accidentally pricked herself with the needle while trying to administer a shot to the baby and that she didn’t intend to infect the child, but authorities are still investigating.
