Possible exp to hiv?

This is a subject that I see many different opinions and there seems to be no consensus.

I used snorted cocaine with some people I don't know had hiv status and at some point we used a dollar bill to snort the drug. The other day I didn't see any trace of blood on the note and also no bruise or anything like that on my nose. I am not a frequent user and I did it because I was drunk.

Now I get scared looking on the internet for reports of possible exposures when sharing a dollar bill to snort cocaine and it seems to me that there was never anything, just a "theoretical risk". We could start a discussion with doctors and forum collaborators to clarify the subject about this exposure and put an end to anxiety (mine and others I believe).

English is not my native language, feel free to correct or ask me.

I advised you two weeks ago that this isn't a risk, when you posted this question on my journal. No one has ever contracted HIV in this manner, regardless of what you read elsewhere on the internet.

Sure. Thanks for your support! I'll forget it in my mind.
