Ok, I know I have HIV paranoia, but it seems I'm always putting myself in these situations. I go to this chiropractor. I've never seen him wash his hands. I would imagine he would after every patient, but I never seen him do it. I had a zit that had scabbed over. I picked at it, didn't notice if there was blood or not, but it had a clear discharge, and was most definitely open. Well, he put his hand over the open scab when trying to realign my TMJ. One hand, he had a band-aid over his thumb. You people can say I worry too much, paranoia, whatever... but I feel like I'm always putting myself in a position to come on here for this. I also noticed he had cuts on his hands. I'm not worried so much that he has it, but the patients he's touched before me, not knowing if he's washed his hands. This is really my last HIV question. I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a neurologist, so no need to tell me "I need help with this paranoia". I'd appreciate it if you'd just type if there was a risk or no risk, and leave it at that. Yes, I know I worry too much, but it's not by choice. Thank you.
