What are the chances of infection?
Hello guys! I have a question and please be kind to answer me, because i'm so streased out.
Two weeks ago, i was in my bathtoom and i wanted to remove a pimple from my face with a needlestick. Before i used the needlestick, i dropped it in the sink. Afrer i used the needlestick ( and the pimple starter bleeding) i saw in the sink sonething that looked like semen, but mixed with water. I started thinking that my roomie masturbater and ejaculated in the sink. If that is true, the sperm was there for at least two hours, because he wasn't home at that time. I'm freeking out because the needlestick might touched the semen when it was in the sink. If my roomie is hiv+, ( i don't know his status) , what are the chances of me catching hiv or hepatitis? The pimple was bleeding and there is a chance that on my needlestick was some semen. Please excuse my english!
Hope i get an answer soon!

No risk of HIV as it cannot survive long outside of the body. Therefore no risk. As for the needle dropping into the sink into 'semen' water well obviously the needle is not sterile thus you may catch a bacterial infection that may give you another pimple.
