[see1]

i know but each time i ask a different doctor, he gives a different view.
do i need to worry at all ? i keep on getting fears that i may have the infection.

[RainLover71]

You have been given more then enough answers as to why you never had a risk--Move On.

[Teak]

Enough, you've been going on this no risk issue since June.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

i also said the same thing to my doctors but they say any penetrating object can transmit hiv, please throw more light as i am really worried.

first of all--HIV can't survive outside the body--secondly it becomes inactive and unable to infect you as soon as it is exposed to air and finally a pin is not hollow like a needle so there is no blood trapped inside the pin head.

[RainLover71]

Those doctors know nothing about HIV transmission.

No risk what so ever.
