Thank you both for your kind and informative responses. I do have this awful ocd thing and it focuses on an hiv phobia. I get these worries in my head which I can't seem to shake. It is sheer torment.
ZERO chance of hiv infection and been_there explained why-so reread his answers.This is a case of OCD not HIV and i mean that with every respect to you.Seek some help for it.All the best.
HIV is a very weak virus and become inactive outside a human host. not dead just inactive. HIV cannot replicate outside the body. Some viruses have a protein envelope that protect it while in the air. HIV does not. It must have a cell to bond with and replicate.
Even if your doctors stethoscope was drenched in HIV infected blood, you would be completely safe. HIV is not transmitted in this way.
HIV is passed from unprotected penetrative sex and direct exposure i.e. from a needle, or from mother to child during breast feeding
You are 100% completely safe from HIV according to your given situation.
Please try to put this HIV thing out of you mind as clearly you are over thinking.
Please may I get more responses? been -there 123 thank you so much. Could I get a little further info from anyone else? I need to know why I could not get it this way as it would be blood to open hole in my vein. Thank you so very much for understanding.
HIV is not spread this way
HIV is contracted through direct Sexual contact with an infected person.
You had no exposure.
Please relax there is no chance you can get HIV this way, just not possible
Take care, stop worrying please
