Hello Doctor,
I came in contact with foreign blood with my one day old cut on my finger while cleaning sink. My cut was around 1/2 cm long and was not bleeding and was covered by it self with bleeding blood as normally cuts heal in beginning of healing process. I suspect foreign blood was less then 5 minutes old.
When I was cleaning sink, I saw some small blood drops on the side wall. I wiped them with the paper towel by using my non injured hand. Next week I noticed the blood drops were also on the spray and hand washing bottles. I couldn't see them because bottles were black colored. I might have moved them with my both hands to clean around.
After 12 days of that incident, I suddenly started to feel shaking chill and next day my stomach was bloating too much. I had completely lost my appetite. Chills was controlled in two to three weeks but my appetite took month to recover.
I haven't experienced fever or diarrhea. My weight was reduced by 1kg but it was recovered. Because of feeling too cold I was using two blanket and all time heater on in my room. This was making me feel like night sweat.
I had a sore throat approximately after 4 weeks and it was resolved within a week. I also had one small canker sore on the floor of the mouth and gone within a week by it self.
I had a blood test after two weeks of incident and came negative. It's been more than two months now. I am going to have my final test very soon and I am very scared about my result.
Are these sign of acute HIV infection or something else?
Please help me Doctor,
Thanks
