Repeating the same question will get you the same answer that I already provided. Please reread my previous replies.

Is testing needed or not because within them seconds the blood in cocaine was exposed to air so it's not a risk is this right because I sniffed it within seconds

It doesn't matter. That's not how HIV is spread anyway. In an adult, only unprotected anal/vaginal sex or sharing IV drug needles with infected users is a risk. You had no risk for HIV from what you've described.

Blood is not infectious outside the body. Once exposed to air, it is inactivated and unable to cause infection. Which of course means you were not at risk for HIV. You could have a heart attack and die from the cocaine, however, so you should consider whether it's very smart to keep snorting that poison into your body.

Thanks for the reply so is blood that is tainted or mixed with cocaine exposed to air then even if it's seconds? Then sorted up by my finger and yes I agree and won't be snorting anytime soon.
