A guy that was filming a shoot with us about 3 maybe 4 yrs back split his cock, while inside a model. I was in shock! I took the guy to the local hospital myself & waited in the waiting room while he was seen straight away as I explained that I was a producer & the seriousness of the need for immediate testing. We were given the results first thing the next morning. Other times, our local hospital have given results within an hour. They are very good in the UK.

Indeed, I always watch the nurses when getting any kind of needle to make sure they are removing it from the new box but in reality they chuck the used ones into the bio-hazard box right away so I imagine the risk there is minuscule. I was referring mainly to drug users sharing needles but there are also blood transfusions.
The one thing that the testing does not cover though is the incubation period for HIV before it becomes detectable. It can, IIRC, take 6~12 months to appear as a positive even though it is in your body (can anyone correct me here?). So this does not really close the loop in terms of risk.
