HIV to healthcare proffetional ?
Hello ,, My self is 24 Male, an engineer working as application engineer in bio-medical devices company, I need to provide demonstration of biomedical laparoscopy equipments in operation theater as part of my job. on 2nd January 2013 I provided demo to some customer in TLH surgery which lasted till 6 hours, and the patient was HIV +ve. I had not worn slippers as hospitals was not having extra slippers that day, i had felt a needle came in my steps but I am not confirmed it injured me or not, since 17th January 2013 I had mouth sores/ulcers and sore throat, mouth ulcers disappeared after 15-18 days but I still have sore throat, I also have fatigue about which I consulted to my doctor about 3 times, I also informed about this matter of demonstration, I had a pimple like spot one on my buttock and around 10-15 dots on body, My Physician felt as normal viral attack and didn't ask to go under any tests. I am very scared now days and feeling lot tension about the possible HIV attack by some accidental needle stick injury might have happen in operating room while demo or cleaning procedure.One day i had tumor like pain in my armpit... Since last two weeks I am feeling constant irritation around pee hole (meatus) and I have never have sex with any girl in my life, are the symptoms which I feel are due to Acute HIV infection? Do I need to go for any tests? I feel lot stress after searching things about HIV on different websites, please help me on this issue.
