A 15-year-old in Newport, Wales, faces six months of HIV and hepatitis testing after unsterilized tools were used on 21 patients at Royal Gwent Hospital.
A 15-year-old boy in Newport, Wales, is undergoing six months of testing for HIV and hepatitis after unsterilized medical instruments were used on 21 patients during procedures at Royal Gwent Hospital on February 25 and 26.
The health board discovered the error on February 27 but did not inform patients until March 18, after a whistleblower delivered a letter to the boy’s family.
The incident, attributed to human error and failure to verify sterilization indicators, has raised concerns over transparency and patient safety, despite officials stating the infection risk is very low.
A formal investigation is underway.
