You seriously need to seek professional help for your HIV anxiety.  Looking back in your posting history...you come up with a lot of "what if" questions, which is a halmark sign of anxiety.

Yes my friend, you need to relax. It was only a risk IF it was actually a needle, IF the needle had the virus on it. And I'm 110% sure you weren't struck with a asteroid let alone 17 since you responded so Yes, I'm SURE, 110% NO RISK

I think you need to seek professional help for anxiety as the chances of this happening while walking down the street, you are more likely to get hit by 17 asteroids while sitting in your room and typing this question. This doesn't happen and if it does I would like to see a report of this happening.

No risk, and move on and find a way to get rid of your anxiety and worries.
