Please Help,
I have recently touched HIV infected person’s scab by my index finger unknowingly and I think some body fluids/ Blood might have touched me. At  the time I did not seem that much however after 4 hours I had a cut on the same figure and spot that I touched the wound. Please please tell me the risk of getting infected with the virus because lately I’m experiencing flu like symptoms and Wight loss. I have touched the scab on September 16 and on October 31 I have made a test the (anti body regular test ) and the result was negative please advise me If this could be accurate b/c the flu like symptoms are still there and persisting. I REALY NEED HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're welcome.

your symptoms have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with HIV. You simply have to look elsewhere for the reason. If you'd had the slightest risk you can be sure that others would have definitely told you to get tested.
