Hiv Risk
hi DR
I know my question will seem irrational to you, but please help me, I have been unable to calm down for almost 14 days.
Befor 2 weeks, me and my wife and two sons, 4 years old and 9 years old, sat down in a bar to drink something.
after ordering juice, but while drinking the juice at the pipe where the 4-year-old boy was drinking, I noticed a red liquid, which terrifies me.
in case the waiter had blood on his hand and his blood may remain in the pipe where the child was drinking or if the blood falls into the juice it may become infected.
After 7 days of this event, the child had a fever for 2 days and the pediatrician gave me antibiotics for the lung load.
is there any possibility of infection from this situation?
the time from when the waiter left the drinks to when the child started to drink is 4-5 seconds, this is enough time for the blood to not be infectious?
Yes, you are correct, this is a bit irrational or maybe you just don't know. HIV is hard to transmit. The only ways one gets HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV needles to inject drugs. What you describe is no risk at all.

even if it was blood?
Are 5 seconds outside the body enough for the blood to not be infectious?

If you can't wait, you should go to your doctor. It's rude to keep posting for us to comment. The advice is for all of you including your child. Stop over reacting
I sincerely apologize, but I didn't want to be rude.
I am so terrified that I wrote to you.

If you're still worried afterwards, then you have a logic problem. In that case, see a mental health therapist because your problem is imaginary and this forum can't cure that.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.
No other even that you can think of would be a risk for HIV. HIV isn't transmitted by ingesting anything, including blood.

thanks for the answer.
but I'm not worried about the adults, but about the children who may have put blood in their mouths through the juice or the sstrw where the was touched by the waiter's hand, which probably had blood, this terrified me.
What if ?

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (body, fluids, maybe blood, cuts, bleeding, water, mouth etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
