to the nursegirl

Sorry for my english but I will try to do my best..1am sudanese guy 26 years old.
I went to a clinic for drawing blood.. the nurse was taking blood from hiv+ person... I went after him immediately ... the nurse was very nervous and confused because the clinic was very crowded.. firstly she didnt change the glove and she did something weird .. she cleaned the needle with cotton mixed with alcohol.. iam afraid that maybe the glove contain hiv + blood from the previous patient and she touched the sharp needle then into my blood stream.... I tested after this incident 6 times
Elisa 3rd generation after 1 month
Elisa 3rd generation after 45 days
Elisa 3rd generation after 56 days
Elisa 3rd generation after 73 days
Elisa 3rd generation after 91 days
Elisa 3rd generation after 105 days
Elisa 4th generatiom after 5 month
All the the results came back negative... and my life became ahell in these days... because the patient before me is hiv +and the nurse touched the the sharp needle carelessly and she didnt change the glove.. and I heard that needle stick injuries take long time to get positive results ... maybe out to 1 year or more....and am very scared because am working in saudi arabia and the government in saudi arabia test any non saudi people every year and if they found that somebody has hiv they will kick him out..... am very scare to find my self positive in the coming years and very scared to lose my job.... please help me...

NO health care worker would say something like that to a patient.  There is a whole diagnostic process that involves a confirmatory test.

Sorry, I just am not buying it....I think this is anxiety driven "what if" questions.  If not, talk to the clinic.

Even if she had injected you with HIV positive blood, (which she clearly did not) your test results show that you are clearly HIV negative, you can move on with no fear.

You are HIV negative.  As Vance said you never had a risk to begin with.   Your EXTREME over testing proves it.

I'm sorry, but what you say makes no sense.  If things were as you described them, you would have never let her draw your blood.  How would you know the patient before you's HIV status anyway?

Thanx vance. I want to tell you that the gap between me and the postive man is just maybe 5 to 10 second. And the nurse touched the needle carelessly  and she didnt change the gloves. And I dont know why she cleaned the needle with cotton mixed with alcohol. I asked all nurses in my city about that procedure they told me  it is not normal procedure and we trained to not touch the needle.
