injection risk

teak,

I am ur huge fan... I have a small risk associated with hiv...

Last week I met with an accident. I was admitted to a hospital and got treatment. in the course of the treatment I got few injections. Now what I am thinking is if they used reused syrings to inject me...I know this sounds silly, but if they do, what is the risk of hiv..

Please response..

No it want and no matter what kind of spin you put on it won't change the answers. If you continue to have those types of irrational thought seek professional mental help for your phobias.
