hiv risk from fingering
Hi , I am 34 years old and recently fingered a sex worker from Trinidad , Caribbean. Next morning I saw that some skin on one finger were peeled back , not bleeding, but you could see the see has been torn . I squeezed the wound to see if it would bleed but some clear water came out. I contacted my doctor 5 hours after for PEP but he said not necessary .I did an HIV rapid test 30 days after and was negative . How reliable is this ? Still on anti depressants . Still freaking out . Please help me .
also my doctor gave me three day treatment for other std which was penicilin ,zitromax and clarocitymin . also i am on valium but thinj=king about usinng serolux .Is this safe ? Much Thanks .
how reliable the rapid test after 30 days ? the water that came out of the wound ,not blood , could this mean danger . please explain your answer , it would really help me .
