Daily worries
Hi I am writing since my recent cooled down HIV anxiety is coming up.
So did I today throw away a tissue in the garbage can. Afterwards I felt the need to examine the tissue since I thought it might had a HIV infected fluid on it...
Please help me out. Since I am really afraid of having contracted HIV in any way by touching these fluids.

Hiv is not transmitted via fomites like you are suggesting and also i,m sure that you are aware that hiv becomes inactive as soon as it is exposed to air.Your safe.I think this might be an OCD issue or the start of one.
after looking over your posting history, i have to ask:
have you sought professional mental help for your hiv anxiety?
