According to the manufacturer's information, Octenisept inactivates microbes, including HIV, within 1 minute of application to the skin or mucous membranes. Octenisept is not a product intended for disinfecting tools and surfaces, therefore the manufacturer does not provide information on this subject. The risk of HIV infection after a lancet change is low, however, it exists and is a serious health consequence. In these cases, it may be advisable to take an HIV test. Details are discussed in the video, which I encourage you to watch:
