Pinprick incident

[paranoidindividual]

For days I have been so worried so I decided to ask the help of the experts. I can't sleep well, no appetite to eat and my relationship with my family has dipped greatly. Seven days ago (1/25/09) me and 2 friends went to a stripclub and was joined in our table by 3 dancers on the club. I know this should not be a worry for HIV infection if we just sat together, held hands, embraced and didn't have sex . However, on the next morning I noticed 2 pinpricks in my left arm. I'm not sure where they came from. It could have been there even before we went to the club or somebody might have pricked me with an HIV needle/pin. I was conscious all the time and it was not like there were moments that I can't remember except but the pinprick I really can't remember.

After 5 or 6 days I had a boil in my left knee and my left arm felt a bit numb. Are boils symptoms of HIV? My numb arm according to the doctor can be caused by high blood sugar but I've read that it can be muscle pain or fatigue which is an HIV symptom.

Please help. Am I worrying too much or is there enough reason that I should be worrying? Should I get tested? The thing is I can't test yet because as of the moment what happened to the club was just 2 weeks ago. Can I live my life normally again, without being too worried that I might infect my wife or other family members with HIV. Please I need your advise.

I can't even sleep with my wife and has invented all the weirdest alibis to avoid contact with her because of this. BTW, this site has helped me a lot and I really want to thank all of you.

Thanks. I just want to be able to get tested for my peace of mind. Should it be after 13 weeks or at the 13th week it can be conclusive already?
