hiv infection
I snorted cocaine and my nose bled and the straw was being shared with lots of other people. I am so worried I could have picked up hiv. Approx. 2 weeks later I got a flu...headaches, pain in hands and feet and a canker sore which I never get. I dont know if it was stress that caused these symptoms or if I caught something like hiv. PLease help??
It takes more then a little blood to transmit HIV. The only time someone gets HIV from blood is IV drug use and needle stick in a healthcare setting.
I am still thinking about this every minute and its stressing me out so I would just like to ask how come you say that it is not possible. Could you explain please
but isint it possible to have contracted hiv ...what if someone elses blood was on the straw and if my nose bled obviously i had a open cut or something??
