I have reviewed your information fully and nothing here raises concerns about possible HIV infection. I understand your fears but they might be exaggerated at this time. They hurt than help and more disturbing because there is real risk that you should be scared of.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Means g what

Brief Answer:
There is no need for testing at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are certainly concerned about the risk of HIV. That's okay but reviewing the surrounding circumstances, there is no reason for you to be worried by the fact that you might have contracted HIV/AIDS. Testing will not show any infection as the risk is almost nonexistent. It takes a live virus for transmission and that was certainly absent.

In all, no need for further evaluation or testing. You couldn't have contracted HIV from this encounter. I wish you well.

YOu don't need testing!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

It appears you have heightened concerns about most things that you get in contact with. This is suggestive of obsessive compulsive disorder. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist for further evaluation and treatment.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
