A 9-year-old boy is waiting to see if he has contracted HIV after sticking his finger in a dirty needle while out on the beach.

Clayton Speller buried his hands in the sand at Boscobe near Bournemouth and stabbed him with a syringe.

The father, Dan Spiller, said his son was taken to the hospital to check if the needle was contaminated and it would be eight weeks before the results were found.

He said a beach ranger was of no help and did not know where the first aid kit was. A lifeguard came to the rescue and helped clean the wound with anti-septic wipes.

Mr Spiller told Bournemouth Echo: “Now we have eight weeks of concern that he has” got HIV “. They were less likely to try to reassure us

‘Since he was injected with hepatitis B and D under the age of 18, we will be back for another one in three months.

‘My other two kids were sick for their older brother. I just cross, annoyed and frustrated. We have to wait and see if he has HIV at the moment. “

The family, who live in Bournemouth and are frequent visitors to the beach, say they were “confused” about how the situation was handled.

A spokesman for Bournemouth, Christchurch and Pool Council denied that anyone on its beach team was involved.

Basakbe beach is a popular destination for many in the summer. Thousands of tourists flew to the Buttermouth area in early August after the Carnavirus lockdown restrictions were lifted.

Locals have often complained about the amount of rubbish left behind by day-trippers and high levels of anti-social behavior.

A spokesman for RNLI told Echo: ‘Our lifeguards demand training for their training in the various situations they may face on the beach.

‘Water rescue is their only field of work and they work on many aspects of casualty care, providing first aid and safety advice to those in need. Our lifeguards work hard to ensure that everyone who visits the beach will be able to return home safely. ‘
