It doesn't MATTER if your aunt is +.  Did you have sex with her?  Share IV drugs with her?  If you didn't, YOU DO NOT HAVE AN HIV CONCERN.

We simply cannot keep reassuring you every time you start panicking about HIV.  Get some help, and kindly move along.

You need to seek professional help for your irrational worries regarding HIV.  HIV is not like a cold, it's not easy to transmit.

You'd have to either have unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an infected person, or share IV drugs with an infected person.  It really IS that cut and dry.  You will NEVER have an HIV concern from the kinds of things you're worrying about.

Fear will not make your test result positive, you had a no risk situation, no one has EVER caught HIV from anything like what you describe..

With the greatest of rspect, pull yourself together and stop worrying about it :)
