You CANNOT get HIV from any object, even if it has blood on it.
Do not have unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse with someone of unknown HIV status, and do not share intravenous needles with other people, and you will NEVER have to worry about HIV.
As stated, this would not be a risk in worst case scenario and it sounds like a possible anxious moment you were having. You will never get HIV from a cotton ball whether your blood or someone else's blood is on it. The ways you get HIV are stated above. You can't touch an item and get HIV. This is no risk.
Would it have matter if the blood went in my rectum? It was my blood im sure that was on the swab handle but I just though I should ask incase since inside the rectum it’s a mucous membrane and that’s how hiv is transmitted.
Last reply the fact that I stuck the Swab in my rectum that doesn’t change anything? even with blood since the rectum is the easiest way to get it?
Your question was fully answered that this was no risk .
