Hello,
I have an ocd and hiv phobia, please help me to overcome this cuz I totally trust you. I will be brief
I couldn't stop testing after a 'no risk' situation (kissing) I did five blood test all negative. I was supposed to close the topic but unfortunately everytime I test I get other idea in my head. Now, It becomes fear of being tested. First from a used needle I tested again (negative) and then fears from cotton ball, I tested again negative but other idea came again to my head... I would like you to evaluate this last blood draw if I took a risk or not and advise me.. I really need your help.
The story is, I went for a blood testing (in my head this is the last time I test) . I told the nurse I have phobia, she was so kind and understood me. She changed gloves in front of me and gave me I new needle to open it. Unfortunately, I dropped it on the floor. She picked it up and discard it (it was still packed) she told me we have to change it to not get stressed after that. She indeed changed it and I opened it by my self. She explained me how to draw blood. Another question now came to my head. When I dropped the first packed needle and she picked it up she used another one but the same gloves (didn't change them after picking up the first needle). Now if there was some blood on the floor (I didn't see any fresh blood) but what if there was some spots. And those spots touched the gloves (or touched the first needle and then the gloves touched the first needle) when she picked up the needle, is there any risk? For exemple when she touched the cotton ball with those gloves and press it to my arm to stop me bleeding. Should I test again after this?
I'm really tired, please help me and advise me.
Is there any risk if she pick up some blood from the floor and she used the same gloves to draw my blood (she didn't touched the sharp part of the needle)?
I'm really tired, please please help me. What should I do?
I hope I was clear.
