dude, I'm not answering that. Clearly you suffer an anxiety disorder. Please read the three risks below and answer this for yourself. take care

So, this falls into the category of irrational. Irrational fear. We see posts like this time to time and it's either someone that has had very little HIV education or someone that has a phobia/fear. Not sure which you are so will give you the education. I want you to memorize it and apply it to ALL situations going forward. Risks for HIV and these are the ONLY risks are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex (with penetration) or SHARE iv needles to INJECT drugs (as in drug users, sharing needles). NOTHING else is a risk. No, you can not touch someone's blood and get HIV. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Yes, even if you have a sore on your finger, you are not going to get hiv from blood touching it. Air is present.

So, you have the three risks: 1. unprotected, penetrating vaginal sex.
                                                       2. unprotected, penetrating anal sex
                                                       3. Sharing used needles to INJECT drugs.

That's it. Apply it to everything you are afraid of with regards to hiv from now on.

read the risks, please. Talk to your doctor about anxiety.
You need to be injected to have a risk. Not pricked. If you were injected it would hurt a lot, so it is not similar to some minor "pain in your toe" which is a non-event.
So injecting don't happen with prick until someone wantedly injected you. ..so pricking is different from injecting and releasing plunger so I need not worry...am I correct
Yes, injecting is not pricking. Sharing a needle to get high is what they are talking about. Injecting veins with drugs. Not sticking with a sharp object or needle, that is no risk. Now, you also likely didn't even do that. You clearly have major anxiety going on and I hope you get help with that. take care
Thanks very much ...from the above message in which context u talked but you also likely didn't even do that.. please

You said "so pricking is different from injecting and releasing plunger so I need not worry...am I correct " That question was already answered and doesn't have to be asked over and over. Move on.
What I meant is that those who struggle with anxiety, often conjure up worries. My toe hurts . . . I MUST have gotten stuck by a needle. um, 9999 out of 10,000 times, you never were near a needle. It's a figment of an anxious mind. Every ache, pain, prickly sensation is an hiv worry. That's anxiety, my friend Get help for it.
