testing followup question

[alishah46]

i did my last  4th generation hiv test on the 17th of june, so the attendant took the blood sample from my arm. the results were non reactive, but the next day i noticed the spot of the skin  from where the blood sample was taken has turned in to black or brown. its been few days and the dark spot is fadding now. now i m worried that maybe i got infected this way, i had my blood sample taken before too but the skin has never turned into a different colour..  
please answer this. also my risk was low.
thank you

yes i am taking some now, its my 3rd day and they are helping...

[RubyWitch]

Have you taken any of the anti-anxiety meds yet? I strongly urge you to take one, wait 20 minutes and reread this post.

[Vance2335]

Reread what I wrote on how you get HIV

[alishah46]

razor post no risk

[Vance2335]

They don't reuse needles that is how it is different.

Here are HIV risks:
Unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex
Mother to unborn/nursing child
IV drug use

hello
i totally understand what you are saying and i am feeling much better now, went to see my family doctor she gave me some anxiety medicine to take and hopefully they will work..
now one last question i have and if you be kind enough to answer it..

1. what is the difference b/t drawing blood for a blood test and injecting something inside the body. how is drawing blood not a risk even if an used needle is used?

i went to the lab to do some routine blood tests that my doctor told me to do, the nurse who took my blood sample didn't wear any cloves and she had a bandage on 2 of her fingers.
also she did a ECG on me too, so she had to save some hair from my chest, and razor wasn't new it was used, she only took few hairs off my chest. i came home and saw there was no cut on the my chest.
is this come in a risk
thank you wont bug you again

Well it's not HIV. Maybe you shouldn't be giving advice to people if you can't accept it yourself.

[alishah46]

ohk thank you thats a relief, i just want my life back as soon as i try to become normal there is some symptoms that gets me back into thinking now i am getting mild night sweats and mild flu

[JamesD1991]

To me, it sounds like that "spot." is a bruise. Which is fairly common to have after one has their blood drawn.

[JamesD1991]

No one gets infected by drawing blood. Get real

[alishah46]

[alishah46]

neeed one more answer can someone please explain what is difference b/t drawing blood and injecting something inside of the body..
can someone get infected by simply drawing blood.
thanks

[alishah46]

ohk thank you so i have no worries of hiv

[Vance2335]

Yeah it can happen

[alishah46]

thanks vance so it is normal to get a dark spot from where the blood was drawn...

[Vance2335]

No

[alishah46]

so there is no ways an infected syringe was used. i dont want to go through with anther 3 months of this

This is because after blood sample taken out you didn't keep pressing that for some times (5-10 min atleast). Due to which it result into blood clot there under the skin. It is normal, don't worry
