scared and hoping for an answer :(

So here I am writing about the tire incident in which I have written before but its getting the best of me and I need to know if hiv can be transmitted not from a syringe but from a needle like let's say like the tip of a paperclip into the palm of my hand as my uncle handed me the tire I was about to pick it up and got stung it hurt it didn't bleed but you can see where I had gotten stung is it possible I've had symptoms fir the past month and 3 weeks and I can't take this anymore :(

You need to seek professional help for yiour HIV phobia!!!!!!  You cannot live your life waiting for the next sharp object to poke you, then worry about HIV.  IF your uncle was HIV+ and poked himself, then you poked yourself IMMED after, you STILL would not be at risk...period, final, end of story...no ifs ands or buts about it!!!!!  HIV TRANSMISSION DOES NOT OCCUR OUTSIDE OF THE BODY!!!!!  We have said that a million times here.

Seek some help...you do NOT have an HIV concern....move on...we cannot help you anymore and will NOT feed into your irrational thinking.  Enough is enough already man!  Paperclips, tire needles, push pins......stop the madness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
