needle

[jillmartin]

apparently my question should be posted here...  i was really drunk last month walking around dt.  I sat on a bench...got up and for two days had a really sore spot on my inner bum.  Since the area is surrounded by homeless and drug addict,  If i sat on a needle would hiv be able to infect me ??  Im thinking if i sat on a needle it would have stuck in me and i would have to pull it out  but cant stop thinking about it and need some real advice.  I have an appt with the doc on MOnday.

Thanks for your thoguths :)

If you didn't find a response you received helpful, instead of starting a brand new post, just post to the thread and ask if anyone else has something to offer. It will go back to the top.
I'm wondering if you saw my response. It may have moved to page two by the time you got back online and didn't know that posts move pretty fast on this forum. I've included a link to that post.
Thanks

If you did not feel a needle *****, I would say there is absolutely nothing to worry about.  Even if you had sat on a needle, and the needle punctured your skin, the odds of becoming infected with HIV is very slim.  Once the virus is airborne, it does not live very long.

Hi, I would of thought if it had stuck into you like you said you would have to pull it out, and Im sure even if you were drink you'd of felt it? what were you wearing? Jeans are sturdy so doubt a needle could easily ***** through them? Try not to worry it could even just be a wee bite of some sort?
