NO i do not think someone poked you

being "around" someone with hiv does not put you at risk.

Do you think anyone poked me? And that's how I got the mark? Do I need an hiv test for being around junkies that shoot up and passing out on their floor?

if you are having an IRRATIONAL FEAR…then test at the appropriate time.  i don't think anything that we are going to tell you will convince you otherwise.

Then I woke up with a mark on my vein so what is the mark it felt like when I went to the doctors and got blood drawn and looked like a syringe mark..,,

I even asked one of the addicts if he shot me up with his needle and asked if he had hiv and he got mad and told me to go to bed or leave sigh

I hope I don't have hiv
