HIV exposure

[worried1979]

Hi Doctor, sorry for another question on food exposure

While i was at the shooping center, someone pass me some sample of ice-cream and i try it without checking or looking at the icecream, after that i start to be paronoid what if there was blood on the icecream as the man hands has a large uncovered cut wound.

What made me more worried is i got a ulcer and small cut on my tongue about 2 hours old. I also have a wound due to my recent tooth surgery

Also icecream is store in the frozen enironment, and what if the hiv virus still can survive or if his blood from cut landed on my icecream

1) My concern is i did not visually check the icecream before taking it, if there was like some infected fluid like size of 2cm diameter any risk?

2) I am also concern as my wound is 2 hours old on my togue and a small ulcer and i got surgery about 2 weeks old in my mouth still sore

I am really concern as i do not want to pass the hiv virus to my wife

Please tell me frankly if it was any risk for my senario or am i too paranoid

I really do not want to be infected by hiv

Did you think I might have changed my mind?  Still no risk.  End of discussion.  I will delete any further comments without reply.

Hi, thanks for your reply..sorry just to make sure as i do not want to spread to my wife

I understand i could be paranoid but if it was really true there was infected fluid and my oral condition;  are you saying that still no risk?

I am confused as other sites say from food no risk unless there is sores and cuts in mouth --- is this statement true?

if i got no oral wound, i will not be so concerned but the thing is i have

U mean still no risk?

HIV is not transmitted through food.  "i start to be paronoid" reveals the only health problem you have.  Please seek the professional counseling you need.
