Brief Answer:
No need for HIV testing at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed your information fully. You are certainly scared of HIV but nothing in your story makes a test justified or worth it. Stay calm and know that there is no risk for HIV at this time. If it were too easy to contract HIV, we would have all been dealing with it at this time.

I wish you well. Keep me posted!
