I went for hiv testing (tridot non reactive at 6 months 20 days). The technician did not use gloves, also kept cotton ball on table after wiping the area of injection, then touched to feel my vein(after wiping!!)….then used the cotton he kept on table to stop bleed…then after 15 seconds they used “sticker stamp” to stop bleeding. I fear of contracting hiv, because there were so much blood around…WHAT IF there was small amount of blood on technician’s finger. That came on stamp and I got infection from it? What if the dirty table had hiv infected fluid and came on cotton ball? Because there were other syringes too with blood, they were working "without gloves".But they used a "new syringe" for me in front of me they opened it.
It is about what if -the infection/blood/fluid on technician finger that came on my injection wound via the “sticker stamp” or cotton ball. Help me.
Is is just my anxiety, I think about this all day. Literally all day.
Should I stop worrying?
