TOUCHED THE FAUSET

How are you today teak and lizzie lou..

I just want to clarify if my risk is a risk..

1. Im in a public toilet and i touched the handle of the faucet and after that the hand that i used to open the faucet thats the hand that i used to took the water to put in my mouth (i have a cuts (fresh from yesterday)  in my tongue rigth now )  for gurgle..(im sorry for the englis word) kindly understand..

1. If theres a hiv positive blood in that fauset and touched it and mix up with the water that i used to gurgle there is a hiv risk?
2. do i need to have a hiv test?

ni risk!...you are way to worried about this. what makes u think your at risk for hiv? hiv cant live outside the body more than a few seconds. im not an expert but i know you wasnt at risk for hiv. let it go and move on cause theres alot worse situations you could be in to aquire hiv and this aint one of them.

There is absolutely NO RISK of contracting HIV from a faucet or ANY other Environmental Surface regardless of the presence of blood.

hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

hiv is NOT transmitted from inanimate objects and environmental surfaces.

NO way NO how did you contract hiv from what you described.
