snorting drugs with money shareing with recently friends

[Artmesia]

I generally have irrational thoughts about getting hiv ,since  a month it has became more , and I have been posting regularly, but after fighting irrational thoughts and anxiety, I have this thought poped in my mind , 5 months ago I snorted mdma with friends whom I met in party recently and I shared snorting gear may be I just flipped the gear ,snorting from other side then rest of the snorted ,like 2 lines, twice I don't know there HIV status ,they all look happy  and I visted there home couple of times, met there parents , had lunch , was taking to his dad , its a good family , but after 6 months my hiv obsession started from a toilet and this snorting thing popped in my head after a month , now am I at risk of contracting HIV ? if they are HIV + , I don't see any bllod on the snorting gear nor I don't bleed in the nose , like I could see any blood coming out , after this thought I decided to get tested , please help me ,

Hello,  as explained in previous correspondence and by our member, there are ways that HIV is transmitted.  Through unprotected anal or vaginal sex, sharing of IV drug needles and mother to child.  We understand you are anxious but what you write of here is not a method of HIV transmission.  Media will have various stories that are anecdotal and often not accurate.  Please visit a clinic for testing for peace of mind and please seek help for your anxiety.  We wish you the best of health and are closing this thread.

Therapy might be a better option to deal with obsessions than testing, but no one here can second guess what you will do.

so the risk is zero ?

[AnxiousNoMore]

The only way to get HIV is shared needles and unprotected vaginal or anal sex and you did none so there is no risk. There is nothing left to say other than seek therapy for your obsession if you want peace.
