Finger cut.

So today I was at work (I work with alcohol). A can p beer fell into a drainage bin in the back beer storage room, I reached in to grab it and a broken beer bottle glass cut my thumb and it bled pretty well for a bit then stopped. I'm wondering if I should be concerned about this and get tested or move on. I washed it off with soap an hand sanitizer. I then put peroxide on it. But back to my question. Should I be concerned or move on?

She also bit my lower lip while kissing and the side of my neck. Am I still clear?! Bites have me worried a little since I'm my sure on their transmission risk. Thank you all.

Enough is enough....  You were NEVER at risk and NEVER needed testing.  If you can not seem to shake your anxiety seek professional help in dealing with your HIV phobias,

There is nothing more we can add.

Kindly Move Along..

Thanks Lizzie. So making out with lots of tongue and saliva exchange and having a split lip makes no difference?

And my test was a swab. I seances the upper and lower gum and saw some saliva bubbles on the stick after. Would the test be reliable still? I'm just wondering if those tests are reliable.

for someone who had a risk...YOU DID NOT...a test done 1 day earlier than the 3 month guideline is reliable and conclusive.

kindly move along...you do NOT have a hiv concern.
