Please help, bumped into someone, Lizzy Liz maybe??
Please please can someone help me?
I was in the store and this guy who looked like he was maybe homeless, bumped into me with his body and bag, he was behind me so I had no idea whether he did it deliberately or what, so I was worried he might have pricked me with a needle?. I looked all over my body too see if I could see any needle marks etc, I saw red marks but I get pimples a lot though, I saw no blood though and when he bumped into me I didn’t feel anything other than the bump. Then about 30 mins later I am became more and more worried that I started to feel like I could feel a prick feeling on my leg.
I think I have HIV risks every day even though I do not have sex, do drugs or anything. I think I have OCD bad and have had so many HIV tests over small things like handshakes etc.
1) Was my risk non existent?
2) Do I need an HIV test based on this incident?

you had NO risk.
not to belittle you...BUT...your thoughts are very irrational. most ppl never consider getting stuck by a needle after they are "bumped" by someone.
please seek help for your hiv phobia before it consumes your life more than it already has.

Yes Teak was a Paramedic and Nurse Girl is a nurse.I refer to my friend in sydney for information.He happens to be an hiv specialist and expert in his field.
Thanks for that, really appreciate your help, really do, I was just wondering if any of you guys work in the medical field or have or are Doctors, nurses or Paramedics or anything?
100% non existent.Hiv is not transmitted by bumping into someone.Your OCD is working overtime.
You have OCD. Go see a mental health professional. If someone pricked you with a needle, you will know it. To answer your question,
(1) It is irrational to even imagine that someone can get HIV by bumping into someone.
(2) Absolutely no. You need a mental health professional, not HIV test.
