HIV Phobia
Dear Dr. Hunt,
I am severe OCD sufferer of getting HIV and undergoing mental treatment for that. Recently I had a incident that has increased my anxiety manifold . Basically I went to my Eye doctor for Dry eye which I get during the winter season as I am contact lens user and he advised me to get Punctal Plugs in my eyes ..while the plugs were brand new I believe the inserter Doctor used was reused however the inserter were dipped in alcohol before using it to insert plugs in my eyes . Do I have any risk ; should I get tested ? any advise would be very helpful .
