Thank you so much I got my answer..I will move on but last question can you explain me the risk please I won’t ask again
There is NO RISK, which has already been explained to you. There is nothing more to add to the reply. You have zero concerns for HIV from this scenario.
Thanks a lot guys.
Sorry to bother you again..it’s hard to overcome this anxiety but I have started my treatment for ocd..just one last time..I have taken cmia ab/ag combo test at 7 weeks is it conclusive??
You were never at risk. This forum is not meant for anxiety support, please keep following up with your therapist.
Thank you mike

This is an irrational thought. We're not here to guess whether you went to a hospital with employees that don't follow protocol. If you have questions, call the hospital and ask.

This is not the way people get HIV. Forget about this event and move on.
