Another snorting question
The last time I took coke end of October I had a nose bleed. I said for no one to touch the note as a precaution and i put it aside. I was negative, tested several months before that and had no risks between the test and then.
Should I let the people I was with know that I have been HIV testing though it was for a subsequent risk to let them know they were at no risk or might that flag to them that I might be at risk and cause unecessary worry. One of them works for HIV & AIDS charities (but doubt she is positive) so guessing she would know the risks are low anyway but would probably be appraochable on that sort of matter.
I've tested HIV and HEP negative 3.5 months after the nose bleed so definitely nothing picked up from there.
I was out with two positive people last weekend. I don't like the stuff so I didn't partake but I explained the risks of sharing.
Odd how people would think it's horrible to put a finger or object up someone's nose then up one's own but when it comes to drugs they will quite happily share snorting gear.

True, both of you.
Oddly enough I was in a period of chucking mates and acquaintances due to drug use etc.
I walked away from that October one, met an acquaintance a month later who let me stay at hers for a week while I was jobhunting. Now she had a real healthy lifestyle - good diet, non-smoker, non drinker, positive outlook ....
And that's what brings me to this forum

You are not at risk to anyone and with whom you chose as friends is your business and your business only.
I can't help but say that your chosen social circle are in need of a revaluation. Don't get me wrong, i'm NOT by any means saying that people with hiv should be avoided as friends, not at all. I'am going to say that your lifestyle and habits are unhealthy, i'm not trying to preach but the situation warrants mentioning.
