blood in food

i went thru the drivethrough back in december for breakfast. went and parked and ate my breakfast. a little while later i noticed i had a little blood on my finger tips. it was just a little bit, already dried and about half the size of a pencil eraser. was it mine i dont remember having any cuts. or did it come from the food i just ate. anyways i was totally freaked out got tested at 56 days and 82-83 days both came out negative. i was tested thru advancedtestingcenter.com which they sent me to labcorp gave blood and then you call advancedtestingcenter back the next day for your results.  my question can i be sure i am negative? i havent had unprotected sex with my wife since because im scared to give her anything if i have it. i was sharing my food with my daughter last week using the same fork and noticed my tongue was bleeding a little. 3 days later shes got a rash all over and a fever and ear infection. was 82-83 days to early to take an hiv test? what if there was blood on my food could i have caught hiv from eating it? or am i just paranoid and worry waaay to much? thanks for reading

thanks for replyin, but if there was hiv blood on it and i did eat it does this pose a legitimate concern for catching it? and if so was 82-83 day test conclusive?

YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!  i think you are just being a "wee bit" paranoid...but i understand since you were concerned about your wife and daughter.

since you have already tested for this anyway...you are fine...negative!  now put this behind you and out of your mind...and enjoy life :)
