Exposure *** Symptoms ?

Exposure *** Symptoms ?

Dear all ,

As I've mentioned quite a while back that I've exposure though.

Recently , it's been a month since my exposure and I'm starting to have dry cough/diahrea/tiredness. I rarely fall sick. Should I be of any concern with such symptom ?

Also , I was reading Nursegirl's post about HIV.

For Blood to blood exposure :

" In sexual exposures, it does this through the mucous membranes of the vagina or anus, which are VERY vascular, with very easy access to the vascular system"

So if a guy's hand , there's infected blood that's still bleeding and touched my mucous membrane , i.e : Anus/Urethra
will I be infected ??

Thank you for your kind attention.

This is not the what if forum.
No it is not a risk from a couple of drops of blood.

No not a risk. It takes more then a little to pose a risk espically when you are talking about blood or any other fluid in your situation.
