Teak Please Help!

Hi Guys,

this is my story:
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/HIV/messages/774.html

Everyone told me I am OK and need not worry.

But it has been 8 weeks now (post exposure) and my palms feel like pins and needles.

I know that this is a condition that is common to ppl with HIV/AIDS

I keep checking my palms and there are no rashes...but I feel tingling on my palms and at times they feel sweaty.

This tingling has been comming and going...but since last night it has been there non-stop.

I am scared to death.

Teak or someone can you please tell if this a sign of infection.

Thank you

Nope nope nope.
You're worrying about a non-risk. Why come here asking this if you've heard it from the doctor?
Seek professional help. You're HIV negative, and if that was your only risk, you will continue to be:)

How on earth can it be related to HIV? You were never at risk. Not even close.
