CALM DOWN! RIGHT NOW
You DID NOT have a risk because of this woman's bloody nose.
That is NOT how HIV is contracted!
And you DO NOT need to get on PEP and you DO NOT need to test!
This was a TOTALLY NO RISK situation.
Here are the THREE ways you CAN contract HIV..................
1) UNPROTECTED INSERTIVE ANAL/VAGINAL SEX WITH HIV+ PARTNER
2) SHARING DRUG WORKS (NEEDLES) WITH AN HIV+ PERSON
3) HIV+ WOMAN TO HER UNBORN CHILD
If you ALWAYS use a condom and do NOT share needles, you will NEVER have a risk for contracting HIV. I'm assuming you're a man, so you won't be getting pregnant!
Memorize those three risks and the next time you think you may have been exposed, ask yourself the first TWO questions BEFORE you freak yourself out. If the answer is NO, then you have NOTHING to worry about.
And before you write me back and ask "what if........" let me answer those questions right now............
WHAT IF this woman WAS HIV+ and her blood got in my mouth and I had a sore or a cut in my mouth, or on my tongue or my cheek or my gums!!!!
The answer is still NO RISK!!!!
Human saliva contains bacteria and enzymes that render the virus inactive as does exposure to air in the mouth.
Using a condom for oral sex, WHICH IS NOT A RISK FOR HIV, will protect both you and your partner from STD's. (chlamydia, syphilis, herpes etc)
Follow the rules for safe sex every single time and you'll be fine.

I believe it's anxiety. You do NOT have HIV. If your lymph nodes ARE swollen, stop poking at them! They don't like that. See your doctor to figure out if it really is your nodes or a problem with your neck.
You are totally overthinking this and freaking yourself out.
But what about these lymph nodes i just keep feeling them i don't know if they are swollen but i feel them swollen when i rest my chin on my chest or somthing or laying my neck down or i don't know is it my neck that hurts and not the lymph , can i have symptoms after 5 months ? Or i'm just afraid
If your test at 11 weeks was non-reactive (NEGATIVE) you can positively rest assured the results are CONCLUSIVE. The results would NOT have changed within that 4 day period.
Move on with your life, you do not have HIV.
ALWAYS USE A CONDOM!!!!!!!!!!!
this 11 weeks test was exactly 4 days less than 3 months the window period
