Pricked while sleeping?

Is it possible to get pricked by an infected needle during your sleep without knowing that it occured?

How about being anally raped and not feel anything (maybe due to deep sleep or getting very drunk) by tomorrow morning?

Your opinions will be much appreciated.

As you were answered in your previous thread, the only way to get HIV is through unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing of IV drug needles.  Scenarios born from anxiety are not realistic.  We wish you well and are closing this thread.

It is abnormal to think someone goes around pricking you to give you HIV and anally raping you during your sleep. Consider therapy.

Hi, thanks for answering. I have one more question then I'm done, when can an open wound be considered a risk? Why is this generally considered as negligible?
We already went through this with your cigarette burn post so reread the advice until you accept that is is no risk, instead of the generally that you listed above.
