Ars like symptoms After 3 weeks


You've to Trust me as I trusted this site and I went for HIV test as you said.


On 4th July I went to STD clinic (Tuapse Aids Center Russia) Especially for HIV testing and HIV/Aids patients.

there was a queue of people waiting outside for blood test before me when I went for test.

I went inside after the long wait, the nurse came took my card and filled the form I sat down on chair and she put the strap around my hand so that veins should come out.
After that she Put the syringe inside the vein and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE YOU'VE TO TRUST ME THAT SYRINGE WAS NOT NEW AS FAR AS I REMEMBER BCZ IT WAS AT THE TABLE UNWRAPPED AND LOOKING LIKE USED ONE.

HERE in RUSSIAN government hospitals are corrupt and these kind of practices is usual.

She withdraw the blood and inject it in a test tube.
It was NOT like (that new Vacuum tubes or called as vaccutainer )

It was a normal injection she put it inside my vein sucked the blood and injected In test tube.

My concern is after 3 weeks of this test I am experiencing
1) Body Aches
2) Neck pain
3) Collar Bone Pain
4) pinching and pain in palm and base of feet
5) joint pain in hands legs and finger
6) tiredness
7) Blurred Vision
8) Rashes in neck Chest and back.

I went to Doctor he said It is flu like

Now I am having thoughts that that INJECTION WAS USED.

please tell me is it a risk for HIV if it was used needeld syringe injection (whatever you call)

Please reply asap.
Regards
KJ

Trained medical staff are very careful when it comes to bloodwork. They dont reuse syringes nor needles. They know they will be liable in case of a lawsuit.  Just because it was unwrapped doesnt mean that it was used.
