sleepless nights

Hi All,
My English not good, please help me on this.
December 26th I have gone for MRI Scan about my spine problem, before me one women took MRI Scan test for brain and later I took the test however I have noticed some blood in my middle finger, I don’t know where it was came to and I have noticed small pimple in my face with blood.

Just now I came to know that she was infected with HIV positive. I don’t know whether she is bleeding blood or not.
It is my thinking:
I thought if blood at MRI Scan table bed sheet and same attached to middle finger, with same finger blood scratch the pimple in face and get blood.
She was died recently and now my worries are like non stoppable.
MRI test took more than 20 mints to me and after I have changed the lab dress , while I am waiting for MRI report my hands were scratching some pimple in face at the point I had seen dried blood( very light) on middle finger it was all most after the test 1 hr .
Single HIV rapid test at 30 days -Negative
Single HIV rapid test ate 45 days -Negative
At 17 days I have done PCR DNA negative
I am worried lot for few thinks
1) If she Belding the blood and same I attached to middle figure and I have attached to my pimple blood, what are changes to get HIV?
2) How much percentage of risk to get infected that to me?
3) Shall I go for test?
4) Does virus will survive at MRI radiations
5) Do you want me test at 3 months or shall I go normal life?

Hi there.  HIV cannot live outside of a living host.  Once infected blood hits air, the virus dies.  It is very fragile and that is a good thing for us.  Imagine if it were like the flu virus...we would all be infected!  So be thankful for that.  

You don't need to do any testing at all because you are at no risk for HIV.  Here is a stat for you.  If you take a syringe filled with HIV infected blood and you jab yourself with it, you have a 0.03% chance of seroconverting to HIV positive.  THAT is how hard it is to get HIV.  So consider your situation where blood was present that may not have been been hers at all but more than likely yours....and you can see that your chances of having HIV is zero.  You should go on with your normal life.  But if you have problems doing that, then you should see out the help of a therapist to help you get over your HIV anxiety.
