if anything she would be more at risk because its your cut and your blood,so unless you had it before you aint got it now,and the reason i know this is anxiety is because everything you are going through i have gone through and still do at times,this week for instance i have diaorearreah shakes neck ache feeling sick burning up,leg pain and headaches and i know it is all down to stress because i had to deal with an attack last friday,so believe me i know this is just you working overtime

they are right you cannot get hiv that way you have to actually have sex with someone who is hiv positive and then it has to be unprotected,fingering someone cannot give you the virus the itching is a nervous reaction and the burning you feel is all down to stress as is the muscle aches that is where you are tensing causing your muscles to tense and then start to ache i have had every symptom you are experiancing and for alot longer than 5 weeks and i dont have hiv honest you have to learn to control this before your anxiety gets worse,your mind is controlling this at the moment and only you can change that,i am here to help if you want me to message me anytime
