Hiv or hep c needle stab?

Hey I was told to post here because I've been having a hard time lately with paranoia stemmed around ocd issues. So I know this guy with hep c and I'm always afraid to get poked with hep c and hiv needles. So I was in a gas station and my friend walked up behind me while I was buying a,drink and I didn't know who it was at first but he put his fingers around my neck pretending to be a knife and he said he was going to kill me. Now I know he might have thought it was funny but it wasn't to me at least so when I turned around he had his hand cupped like he was holding something. Now I'm worried he poked me with either an hiv needle or hep c needle because he knows how afraid I was and I was mean to him so maybe he wanted to get back at me. That being said what if he stabbed me with a dirty needle in my neck or somewhere on my body without me knowing. Some docs say it is possible to not feel a needle prick sometimes because the needles are so small. Now afterwards his friend came up and while I was leaving stopped to talk to me. He in fact does have hep c because his ex gf told me now I'm worried he stabbed me on my arm while I was looking down at the ground or looking away. Is it possible to not feel a needle stick. Do u think I may have hep c now? Or hiv? I'm scared. Also I was wearing a leather jacket with a hoodie underneath so I know I may not feel the needle stick. What are the chAnces eugh just my luck

I'll just accept I probably had an hiv risk and I pray that I didn't catch it from the unknown needle that I didn't feel I'm sorry for wasting anyone's time here

I already told you I think it is OCD but you conveniently skipped over that part because you are continually seeking reassurance.  Trust me, I know what your mind is doing to you right now but only you can fix it and that comes in the form of psychological treatment.

Do u think I need a test? Do u think this is irrational to think? U don't think I got poked by a needle in my sleep by my roomate who I barely know?  Or in public places?

You can go and get tested at 3 months if you think that will make you feel better but if you truly have OCD, then you will doubt the test anyway and make up more fictional scenarios in your head.  The best thing you can do for yourself is see a psychologist and learn cognitive behavioral therapy.

I wake up with dots and they hurt and sting and I don't know where they come from so I believe someone injected me with hiv

So thinking I've been poked by needle with hiv in my sleep by my roomate wouldn't happen? Going to the gas station and having someone touch me from,behind near my neck pretending they are knifing my neck I didn't get poked? Do I need an,hiv test or hep c test from worrying about getting injected with hiv in my sleep and me,not waking up and the gas station secenrio I described above?^^

Hi there.  This is just one more OCD thing you are keying in on .  I have stuck myself with a needle at work and there is no mistaking I just did it.  It hurts and it bleeds.  I also did IVF where I was a donor and I had to inject into my stomach with small needles....yep...I knew I just stuck myself with that one as well.  Also, when you have blood drawn, is there any mistaking that they just shoved a needle into your arm?  You are going to feel it in some way.  I don't believe that you could be stuck and not feel a thing.  Also, people do not go around doing this.  If someone were to stick someone with a needle to give them some sort of infection, that is a felony.  People that have HIV and do not tell their sexual partners can be prosecuted.  Trust me...this is your OCD talking.  So what have you done in the past to help you get over OCD?  Psychologist and/or psychiatrist?
