I went to the doctor today to get a test done and the nurse giving me the shot didn't wear gloves. I'm phobic of HIV. Terrified!!!! Shouldn't she have worn gloves? Should I freak out? I never look when I get a shot. What is she stuck herself? Is this just my anxiety/ phobia?

They should wear gloves, not only for your safety but for theirs too. You'll be fine but next time if you notice no gloves inform them you would feel more comfortable with them if they wore gloves ecspecially if they need to have contact with your skin, such as pinching the area where the injection is being given.
Take care.

You have a reason to be worried. Gloves are required, especially since AIDS has become so well known. Complain to the hospital about this nurse.
