Acupunture


I have been to acupuncture sessions in London twice, one earlier this week and another one last week. From yesterday I started to have fever (about 38.2c) and developed mild night sweat  for two nights now. I think there is low risk of catching HIV this way but just to reassure if there is any chance or should I get a test?

I saw doctor taking needles out from sealed pack but this fever has scared me.
Thank you for your advice.

You were never at risk of contracting HIV. If you are ill see a doctor, your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.

Hi,

Better wait for pro help...

But I think all these places are inspected and approved and everything is cleaned,sterelized all the time and everything is new...especially in London.

If you can't relax test at 28dyas with aDUO..conclusive or at 6 weeks
Test for Hepetaitis also if you are not vaccinated for Hep B.

Regards and Good Luck,
FWK
