Teak is absolutely right.  

The reason Teak's advice is almost always the same is because probably at LEAST 98% of the posters who come here never had a risk.  With only a couple ways to get HIV, it's not common that people have a real risk.  I'd say we only see maybe one or two posts a day from people who have had a real risk, if even that many.

Be happy that you fall into the category where you get that same advice!

Kindly move alongm you don't have an HIV concern.

That information you were given was fact and I'm sorry if you are disappointed that you never had an exposure.
