HIV from massage parlour

[Kuttan_12345]

Hi, I have recently visited a massage parlour and had a body massage along with hand job. while taking hand job, she had switched off the light. how ever i was in my disposable underwear and she has done it without removing it. I very well understand that this is a no risk activity. But I have another concern. When the light was off i felt a sharp pain on my knee area for a second. when i noticed that area later, i saw a reddish discoloration in the area and it hurts even after one day. i am totally scared now. would she have used some needle or any other sharp object? When i correlate the strange behavior she had from beginning and the money minded nature, I am getting really scared now. I am not able to sleep and dont know what to do She told me that it must be her long nail which would have hurt me. But i am getting really worried. Is there any chance of getting HIV here? Do I need testing? Please help as I am not able to sleep

No risk.

No one is going to inject you with HIV infected blood, it seems illogical that someone you've just met is going to have an ulterior motive in such manner against you.

This is an HIV prevention forum, you don't have a concern that belong here. See a shrink for your OCD.

Thx Mike. I know I am overthinking. But I have heard some people try to infect others once they become infected. I had this visible red patch on my leg with a moderate pain which was not there earlier. Does this require a casual test at 3 months or I can forget it?

No, it requires the help of a therapist.  Anxiety and OCD don't work that way.  If you get tested, your anxiety will make you doubt the results.  Anxiety is not logical and does not respond to such simple solutions.

The problem is not that you need to be tested - it is that you need help to get control over your irrational thoughts.

Yes I am planning to get help. I do admit that i have an anxiety issue. However, this area i mentioned turned black and looks like the blood tapped under skin. in addition i have developed high fever and body ache today 12 days after the incident. i know that it is illogical to think in the way i do. Just wanted to know out of anxiety, what would be a persons chance of acquiring the disease if some drops of infected blood is injected under the skin. i am afraid to have sexual relation with my partner due to this.
