hiv fear

hi everyone, i'm a 19 year old who had an (according to me:( ) exposure. about 10 months ago. i dropped a page on a public floor and when i picked it up without noticing i touched fresh blood on it. wen i did notice i rubbed it off. i had no cuts but lately have been worrying: what if it was hiv infected? what if it someway infected me, what if i mistakely rubbed it in my eye. should i worry or is it just a hiv fear.
plz help, advice would be appreciated.

p.s i cant afford to have a test right now

Hi rainbow50,

Not to worry, hiv is not spread externally. Hiv is quickly inactivated by exposure to the environment.

Rest assured, you have no way of getting hiv. No need to test.


May God bless
