Blood in a glass of water

Hi there,
i am a gay male. I had a protected blowjob with a stranger one week ago in my flat. After I went to the toilet I drank from my water glass which was with him alone in my living room. After he went away I saw some red flaky particle in the water. I think he put some blood in my water to infect me with hiv while I was on the toilet. The blood could be in contact with the water for 1-2 Minutes bevore I took a pull from the glass. Am I at risk for catching HIV?

Thanks in advance!

That's 100% irrational thinking.  You cannot get HIV from ingesting HIV infected blood anyway.

Indeed they do, but to do that, nope, to think that is certainly strange for sure mate. No i cannot imagine. If i had a sore throat HIV would not even enter my head at all. HIV dose not survive outside the host, so you cannot be at risk again thats of course if it happened, to which i would belive it did, ley alone from a HIV positive person. Really, calm down and think logically about this and listen to the facts. Your fine.. really :)

Oh, people can have strange ideas, i wonder how the red particles came in my water. Does blood looks that flaky if it comes in contact with water after a while?  Sadly I got a bad sore throat since Sunday, 6 and a half days after this incident. You can imagine that anxiety is rising. No fever, no rush till now. Hope everything ist ok concerning HIV :-/

Why on earth would he do that? come on mate get a grip. HIV is a very fradgile virus so mixing blood ( assuming he has HIV which is very unlikely ) would pose no risk to you for HIV. TBH its more paranoia than anything else.

Your fine, relax.

That means the virus can't even survive for 1 Minute?

No risk & I doubt he did that,even if it was blood the water would damage the virus instantly.Stop worrying--you're safe.
