HIV + person at party

Hello, just 2 nights ago I was invited to house party. At the party we hadalcohol and cocaine thus many snorting bills out of paper where made. I found out the house owner was HIV + since 2 years. As a snorting bill for cocaine could have been shared and we drank from the same jug through out the night, was I at any risk in that situation?, is testing warranted? a bit worried, thank you

Did you ask the good doctors on here this queestion already? I am not a cocaine user but I would say no, no risk. There is no risk in drinking your moon shine from the same jug. Who drinks from a jug?

[toni85]

No, this is the first time I ask this question and its the first time that its crossed my mind. LIke I said, the bill was most likely shared at some point. And secondlym we drink from jugs because we prepare wine and soda or whisky and soda in them for everybody, also shared.

I do need a realistic approach to this from the experts. Thank you

Ask Teak.

[toni85]

Ok, thanks, i guess Ill wait for him to come across this thread ans give me his advice on what to do, whether get tested or not. What im concerned about is if dome blood or whatever was present on the bill, that couls have been unnoticable, etc..

[david623]

I can not speak for Teak, but I believe he will tell you know risk. There was the same question asked to the doctors and this is my I thought it was you.  The docs said there is no know case and there are thousands of people sharing bills for the cocaine. i hope this helps you.

[toni85]

Does the fact that there are no known cases mean no risk...I cant voice myself one way or the other, All I know that as soon as there is at least theoretical risk, testing must be done. But i dont know if that assessmnet is correct, I´ll wait for the expert to correct me and inform me , thanks

[nursegirl6572]

There is no risk whatsoever.

[Teak]

As what nursegirl stated.

[toni85]

ok, thanks, so I guess no testing is needed AT ALL, thank you!!

P.S. BY the way, as far as I know the virus doesnt last very long outside the body, thats why Ive always asked my self why theres a risk with needles (be it at hospital, dentist, drugs etc..). Say the same needle was used, after more than half an hour, the risk should have dissapeared completelely.

[Teak]

Did you share works with someone?

[toni85]

No, I have never shared needles. The only thing that happened to me once, was that I accidently used another guys razor to shave (from one day to another, not right after him), because they were the same model (match 3)- this was about 2 yeras ago. Thats why I asked.

The question was just in order to obtain knowledge. As far as I know the virus can survive in needles is due to the fact that it incubates-something that doesnt happen in other utinsels like knives, or bills, or shaving blades--am  I correct??

Thank you and information for future reference is apreciated.
