blood eyes

hi all

today i got back from work and i went for a bath..as i was washing my face with the shower, i felt a irritation in my eyes..i could have something into my eyes..i was blowing my nose second before..it could be my mucous from my nose..as i have phobia for hiv, i wonder if it could be blood from my clothes or socks or any blood on my hands or other part of my face.

if it was blood i pick up outside before coming home..i took my bath about 4 minutes after i came home any risk?

thank you

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH...GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ

you have posted about...

irritation in your eyes-blood from an unknown source
blood from the dentist office
semen from a public toilet
blood in your mouth (from a co-worker who touched your lips)
blood from getting widom tooth out
antibiotics from nurse being infected

ONE LAST TIME.

HIV IS TRANSMITTED THROUGH...

UNPROTECTED VAGINAL/ANAL INTERCOURSE
SHARING OF IV DRUG WORKS
MOTHER TO CHILD

SEEK PROFESSIONAL MENTAL HELP FOR YOUR HIV/BLOOD PHOBIA.  YOU WILL BE BETTER SERVED ON THE OCD FORUM...AS YOU DO NOT HAVE A HIV CONCERN.
