Another HIV scare
Hi everyone, pls dont shoot me down for posting this. But i am a tad concerned
I was out with work mates last night and one of the guys showed me his hand which he recently got his knuckle crushed through a fight.
he asked me to feel it how diffrent it is now, and i did and thought nothing of it (he must get alot of people to do the same)
Then i freaked out as there was a healed wound above that was still red, and i nearly touched it. I had no cut on my finger but i could have touched my eyes/mouth afterwards.
Can i catch anything this way?

We have the same problem in the HCV Forum. Some people come there and will not accept the fact that they are not at risk. It doesn’t matter how many times you tell them. Even when they are told over and over “if you are that concerned, get tested,” they still won’t let up. We call them HCV Groupies.
I am on a waiting list for CBT, i have posted in the anxiety rooms also and they have been v polite and helpfull
They advised me to post in here also to get more facts and professional opinions. Obv that isnt a good idea!

pretty much all of your posts in the anxiety and ocd forums are hiv related too. it's obvious that you need professional help for your hiv phobia...i hope you are seeing a doctor about this.
And you posted in the anxiety forum for what reason? Non risk HIV concerns? Seek professional mental help for your phobias.
I have made a total of 14 posts in the HIV forum!!
And i have to say that this is the rudest forum on medhelp, get shot down for asking questions.

go to "my medhelp" at the top of the page. it shows every post and comment you have ever made.
40 nonrisk posts from you is very offensive. If you would have read the guidelines and followed them you wouldn't have anyone have to repeat them for you. Keep it up and you'll be banned from the forum.
No offence Teak, but why do u always post that when someone is in distress and asks a question? not exactly fair is it

thanx for that, i wasnt sure
i guess also that if u touched blood say on money, or on the floor that you would have to have a large cut (a kind that would need a band aid) for you to be at possible risk also?
