Contact with dreid blood on sink
I was at my lunch period in secondary school. Me and two friend went to the bathroom to wash our hands, when I was reaching for the sink I touched with my pinky a little of what appeared to be dried blood(can be another liquid), the substance was really dry I quickly checked my pinky and there werent any stains. I proceeded to wash my pinky and reach inside my nail with some soap and water. I repeated this two or three times always washing and reachin dor the inside of my pinky. I read in official AIDS forum that HIV cannot be contracted from a stuface? Is this true?, also i read that HIV os rendered untransmittable as soon as it leaves the body? Should I go and get tested.
I also suffer from a severe case of anxiety and it is not necessarily from this event. Cheers! And thnxx

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
If you don't do either of those activities with a person who has HIV, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
