Sir I have tested my blood before one month but the lab technician was tested without gloves and after 12 days I was suffering from flue fatigue cough and some rash on my body but after taking medicine I was fine and now I still feeling good my question is if some infected blood on his hand can I get infected if yes so what type of infection I get and what I do?

Hand Gloves worn by him are meant for his personal protection against patient's infection. As long as hand glove infected with blood does not come in contact with your open skin and coming in contact of that blood, you need not bother. This is called transmission by blood. Other communicable infection is by air like viral fever etc. Hence they use disposable syringes to draw blood which is destroyed after one use.
