I ended up getting a massage from a women who was obviously a prostitute.

I got a 5 minutes massage before she asked me for sex. I said no and she became upset and said she wished she told me that before.

Now I can't get it out of my mind that when she did the back massage she could have jabbed me with a needle and infected me with HIV. I didn't see a needle or feel anything. She told me to close my eyes during the massage which lasted a few minutes.

Would I have felt a needle prick? On a scale of 1-10 am I just being extremely paranoid. I do have an HIV phobia and can't help but worry. Should I be tested. Thanks.

Absurd and totally irrational thinking.It never happened and on the rare occassion that it does happen it's junkies and criminals that are responsible.

THAT IS VERY IRRATIONAL THINKING.

you might consider seeing a therapist to work on your anxiety issues surrounding hiv transmission.

So you think I'm being paranoid here? You think I definately would have felt a needle prick on my back. I was drinking, I hate to worry for 3 months before getting tested.

Seems like you're just a little anxious about HIV. There was no risk and I think you would feel a needle going into your back. I've had it happen and it hurts. You don't have to worry about HIV and just to prove you don't have it, get tested:)
