About 3 weeks ago, I was at the gym. my washcloth may have touched the bottom of my shower shoe when i was in the public shower (very clean, by the way!). Before i get in, i run the water on the hottest setting possible to "wash away the germs". After it touched my shoe, I lathered it with A LOT of soap and put the water all the way back on hot to kill the germs it came in contact with. After all of this, I had to wash my private areas (sorry TMI). I was wondering, if i could have potentially contracted HIV
my questions are:
1. could HIV survive in a wet, moist environment like a shower stall?
2. Am i at risk? (please be honest)
3. I am getting tested SOON ...is 3 weeks too soon after?
4. could my sore throat and dry cough be caused by anxiety?
5. Would glands be NOTICEABLY swollen???
