i am at HIV risk ??

[jacobSmith12]

Hi. about 4-5 years ago, i was went into a public WC. i was touched the faucet and then i inserted that finger that i touched the faucet with it "inside" my anus. how much is the risk of getting HIV if there (both was and wasn't blood and semen ) on that faucet?
i know that hiv transmits only with sexual contracts but if we say there was blood or semen on faucet and i insreted my finger inside my anus is this a risk of getting hiv ?
5 years passed and i didn't exprienced flu-like symptoms or lymph nodes.
by the way i even don't know if there was really semen or blood on faucet or not.

That's a really long time to be worried about something that is a non risk. The risks for HIV are to have had unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs.  Air inactivates the virus.  You can't touch things like a faucet and get HIV. Ever. So, this was a non worry.  Perhaps looking into long time anxiety may be helpful to you. And recurring anxious thoughts and ruminations can come about more if we are going through a stressful time or not getting sleep, etc.  But that was zero risk.  ZERO

thanks for answering. unfortunatly yes i have anxiety but i'm taking mental therapies to overcome.
the reason that why i asked it was it's about a few days that i've got itchy rashes on my skin and one of my eyes became red, and i've got scared that if it's a symptom of HIV that showed up after years now.
so that means even if there was semen or blood on faucet, the is still ZERO ?

"i know that hiv transmits only with sexual contracts..."
Then you already know the answer - your event, if it actually happened at all, is ZERO RISK for HIV.

The only way to get HIV besides having unprotected anal or vaginal sex is by sharing intravenous needles with other people.  You can't possibly be having HIV symptoms since you didn't have a risk for HIV.
