VERY URGENT, PLEASE; SHOULD I GET PEP
Hello,
I came home last night with a girl from the disco. When we undressed, I saw small plasters on her back and asked her what they were. She pulled one off from her shoulder blade and said: "look their for acupuncture". While saying so, she immediately put it on the back of my forefinger and pushed it into my skin, before I had the chance to pull my hand away. One thing that is giving me some sort of comfort is that the needle on these plasters are very small, maybe 1-2 millimeters in length. When I took the plaster off I kept squeezing the site to see how deep it had pierced my finger and if any blood would come out. There was NO blood from my finger, and as far as I remember there was no blood from her shoulder either when she pulled the needle out.
My question is SHOULD I GET PEP WHILE IT"S STILL EARLY ?
I'm freaking out. Please tell me quickly. Thank you.
