Irrational thoughts ??

[concerns1]

Good evening all, I was recently on a trip to the Carribean. On the trip I moved a chair in a night club and then noticed a small amount of red liquid on my one finger. It wasn't from me and being somewhat paranoid I began to think that this was blood perhaps from another patron or from the help ( large HIV population in this country ) . I wiped it off and then went to wash my hands. Honestly, did it look like blood - I'm not sure but the fluid was wet and red. My paranoi grew throughout the night and really let it get the best of me. My girlfriend thought I was being absolutely crazy but I couldn't help what I was starting to feel. I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but any insight from you that are more grounded than myself would indeed be appreciated. P.S. No obvious open cuts or wounds on my hand.

thank you Mike, I appreciate you taking the moment to give me some piece of mind. These life events scare people which is unfortunate but these events are also unavoidable. I see so many posts like mine, who even knows if it was blood - could have been someones margarita !  Either way, I certainly do appreciate your response and reassurance.
Thank you

Hi Concern,

HIV can't be transmitted in the fashion you've mentioned in the essay above, blood had to contact an open cut / sore to  transmit the virus in to your body, since there was no skin opening, cut /sore there's no chance whatsoever that you may have contracted the virus.

You can be rest assured, you are safe :)

Mike
