Hey JGF25,

I jus wanna know that statistic u mentioned.Is this True.

"Here is a statistic for you.  If you took a syringe with HIV blood in it and jabbed yourself with it, you would only have a 0.03% chance of becoming HIV positive."

What if you draw the blood an hour before and prick will that 0.03% further reduce.And if so what is the evidence of it.i learnt HIV virus can live for hours in infected syringe.I have a similer incident.

Please click the above link that i gave to mack.Your answere may save my life.

Thanks in Advance

If you are negative at 3 months post exposure....real exposure....not some fiction that you made up in your head, then you are negative for sure.  There is no more testing needed.  

Clinics do not reuse needles.  You need to familiarize yourself with the modes of transmission for HIV.  

Here is a statistic for you.  If you took a syringe with HIV blood in it and jabbed yourself with it, you would only have a 0.03% chance of becoming HIV positive.  That is less than 1 percent with REAL HIV present.  This virus is not easy to get infected with.  The conditions really have to be the perfect storm.  

You are doing yourself no favors by asking for reassurance.  The relief you get is fleeting.  It is now time to step up to the plate and help yourself rather than sit on the sidelines wondering "what-if".  Call a psychologist and make an appointment.  

I can't believe you read every link I have you in a matter of 20 minutes.  Did you even look at them?

Have u ever seen anybody who got hiv from testing clinic at the time of blood drawn ....
and would u please explain how IV drug spread hiv ...

Hi there.  Thirteen tests and all negative.  So you have to know that no matter how many times you test you are going to doubt the result so what is the point in testing anymore?  It is just keeping you in the OCD loop.  Ideally you should be seeing a psychologist so that you can learn cognitive behavioral therapy.  At some point you need to say ENOUGH and move on.  If you don't, you will continue to be stuck on this thought.

and for ur ocd about syringe changing blood its is impossible.No one does that.iam sure ull be 99.999999999999 % safe in this.But no matter what i say ur mind is going to worry about that 0.11111111111%  again.I guess thats the way our life goes always keep on worrying.

I can say   the chance of that incident u mentioned happening is equal to the chance of u getting hit by a lightening stike on a bright sunny day while walking in the road.

i hope it helps

Hey dude,

you are surely negative.Dont worry as u had so many negative tests.Even iam so scared of this since i ve been having same kind of panic attacks with OCD.I guess we need some strong emotional support to get out of this OCD.Atleast your incident was under ctrl.My source incident its realy worse and iam just pulling my hair down due to this.I have to wait for 10 more weeks.I guess when you have OCD nothing seems to be safe for us.our minds will always think about the worse case scenarios.below is my incident 2.Please feel free to give ur suggestions abt it.
