Am I OCD about HIV? Am I being paranoid?
Okay , so here's the story.
I sat with this guy with HIV for 2 years , classmates , and didn't know till actually knew he have it till a few days ago.
I have been dead worried ever since.
Could I have got it?
I never had sex with him , never shared needles , never touched his blood but I can't be sure about sharing food or drinks.
That being said , am I just being OCD? Also , I do suffer from OCD , although it isn't very serious and doesn't really hinders me.
Your fear is completely irrational. If HIV was transmitted by simply eating with someone, the whole world will have it by now. Please don't avoid eating out with your HIV positive friend. Its simply impossible for you to get HIV in this manner.
hiv is not transmitted through casual contact or eating / drinking after someone.
What answers,you had no risk at all,you don,t contract hiv by sitting next to someone or sharing drinks or food.Take this to the anxiety or OCD forum please.
Your being completely paranoid and you need to take this matter to the OCD community here at medhelp for advice.This is not an hiv matter.
