Help a middle aged woman out with this.

Help a middle aged woman out with this.

I consider myself a logical person, but i feel that I am not being so logical with this.I need some help with this to let it go. I am fifty and in good health. I was getting a pedicre the twoyears ago  and the woman cut me pretty bad with one of those callus razors. Nothing crossed my mind at the time, but I now have racing thoughts. My husband had shingles this past year, which I felt was due to stress from his ever so stressful job. I have had xerotemia (dry mouth) since October. When you look up these symptoms they say HIV somewhere in the context. We are monogamous and were both tested in 2004 for life insurance. I just wasn to know if there was any risk in this at all. I saw soemthing in the expert forum from Dr. Hook that said there is a hypothetical risk. This is something that needs to be let go from my mind. I guess I got more worried because a razor unlike nail clippers or cuticle clippers have more grooves and indentations for blood to be trapped. Any help will be fantastic.

No, there was no risk, not even hypothetical.

Thank you. I just looked up your profile and I am soooo happy you were the one to answer my question. It seems you really know so much and it is much appreciated by me.One last thing and tell me it is OCD AND ANXIETY.I started getitng worried because I had blood drawn the same year ina hospital lab that I felt was less than desirable. I started thinking whatif they used a already used needle. Do needles have locking devices so they can only be used once.
Also, are shingles common?

You are right, you need to take it to the OCD forum or seek professional mental help.

I am going to talk with someone next week, I seem to get worried about stuff. Being in the medical field, am I right in thinking that needles do have locking devices? That is why i didn't get tooo concerned.
