very worried~please help~
I went to a beauty salon 2 days ago.They cleaned my face,and squeezed the acne on my face with a thin beauty-needle,that needle made me really hurt.After that I became very worried,I don't know whether they sterilized the needle or not.So am I at risk of HIV by that needle?Please help me,I'm sooooooooooo worried.
Best Answer
You can stop worrying because HIV becomes inactive once exposed to the elements and is unable to infect you,it's a very fragile virus outside the body.Also,it's not the same as a syringe that iv drug users share because the infected blood in a syringe has not had any exposure to air.
