Please stop worrying.  But only you can control that.  

No matter how many people tell you, you don't have to worry, unless you stop yourself it's not going to help.

You need to talk to a councilor.  Someone who can get to the root of your fears, because they aren't HIV.  

Be well

hello, its me again sorry about this but can you please be more specifically why i didn t had any risk,   ?

I had 4 hiv test after 9 weeks 2 advanced quality rapid test , 1 spot card, 1 tri dot , and one tri dot after 10 weeks,  If i had any risk is that tests conclusive.
Because here in india  who is telling me 6 months , 4 months, 2/3 months and in England last year they told me 6 weeks  can you help please .

one more think since i am here , one off the test i took in the lab i didnt saw him open the syringe but hes sad it was new and the needle look new maybe am being to paranoid because he was like only 3 ft far from me i dint notice him open it because i looking at the test box.  but if it wasn"t new can you get HIV from withdrawing blood? the syringe was disposable one so i dont think he can use it twice and every where i ask they told me now in india everywhere have to use one syringe only one time is the law,
