Big time HIV phobia
I am sorry for disturbing and irking you a gain. Actually I was going through lot of posts on hiv and I came across one of them that too from India. It said that a barber who was hiv poz would actually cut his thumb before shaving and then use the blood contaminated blade for shaving? When I went to the barber shop I did not notice whether he did that. i know I am getting a tad to paranoid and also relating this case with me but its getting me puzzled? I got a big time deep cut and was bleeding. Now I am thinking can this happen to me. Please dont issue warning and bear with me? I think I have read just too much about HIV.

This is an HIV forum, and you don't have an HIV concern. You need to get yourself some help for your phobia about HIV. Continuing to search posts and the internet isn't going to accomplish anything besides feeding your anxiety.
* Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusively negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to action by MedHelp. Conclusively negative results or a no-risk situation will be based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors. Action will be taken as follows:
* After excessive posting, a warning will be issued by MedHelp
* Continuing to post regarding the negative result / no risk situation will result in a 3 day suspension
* Continuing to post upon your return will result in a permanent ban.

Of course u all are not there to help me with anxiety. But in medhelp.org it was posted from a guy in India. Further if shaved within a split second of blood on blade. Is it not possible to catch HIV?
We are not here to help with anxiety, there is a forum for that or seek a Dr's help with that please.
