Not knowing you had posted this same question twice, I responded to your other post and gave you exactly the same answer nursegirl has given you here. Why are our answers exactly the same? Because it is medically AND scientifically the correct answer.

We have BOTH told you there cannot be any worst case scenario because you were NEVER at risk. There ARE no "what if's" in this situation. NONE. ZERO.

As nursegirl said, go get tested if you think that will give you peace of mind. Which it will until the next situation arises where you think you might have been exposed. You'd do yourself a much greater service and acheive lasting peace of mind if you got yourself educated about HIV. If you had the knowledge about HIV, you would not have had to go through all this angst because you would KNOW that you never had a risk.

The problem with testing in a ZERO (zero as in NONE) risk situation is that imagine your anxiety if you would happen to be unfortunate enough to get a false positive result? While rare, it happens.  It's up to you, if you think you would feel better by testing, then go ahead, but again, you have NO need to test and had NO risk.

u sound very assuring and thanks u are helfull... there is a free test offered at my local clinic, which they test anti-body  and HIV-RNA... my point is if there is anything worst case scenrnairo,  Would HIV-RNA test provide an insight or peace of mind, because HIV-RNA test looks directly for RNA!  and this test usually done in 7-11 days am i right??? please confirm

[nursegirl6572]

Absolutely no need to test.  It would be a waste of time and money.  You cannot get HIV from this situation.

thaanks nursegirl   ! should i even test? regardless of the risk??


I DONT WANT TO WAIT and WAIT!!!! for another 3 months!!!

[nursegirl6572]

There is NO HIV risk from this at all.  HIV cannot be transmitted in this manner.
