HIV risk?

Hi,

I became worried about an incident that happened and I can't remember accurately when. Why Im worried is that i've been tested because of other situation, hivagab 8 weeks post exposure and rapid test about 13-14 weeks post exposure. All negative.

Second incident was this: I went to help a very drunk person that fell on the street and was blodeed up. He needed to be turned and stuff. From emergency number they also guided me to pinch him hard several times. Im not sure at all was this in the autumn or late summer which makes the test results not conclusive at all concidering this happening. Im also still struggeling with my mental state because of the first exposure.

Thank you for your help!

I hope this post is fine and im not breaking any rules.

Thank you teak, I truly appreciate!

That's it. Now I try my best to trust your evaluation even if it would be tempting to ask why and what if questions with more analysing.

like would you advice testing because of this incident?

I somehow feel already stupid asking these things here and there. It's my health and my responsibility to take care of myself. Sometimes a man just needs to admit that somebody might know better. In that situation it was my duty to stop and take care of he's health as well. I guess.

Thanks for your response!

Yes I will and I need to. It's really hard though to get any help from public side and as an artist im not very rich as you can imagine. I've seen psychiatric nurse few times and will still meet her. I also really had to go even to psychiatric emergency because of panic attacks.

This other incident makes me worry again even though I try to be very objective and rational. Could you say something about that or the risk?

Well I know it's hard since you weren't there. I don't remember seen blood in my hands but im really don't remember so clearly.
