You've had other posts here which I am sure at that time you were told what the risks of transmitting HIV are.  They include and ONLY include unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating sex or sharing IV drug needles.  Sharing IV drug needles is much different than a needle poke or stick.  It includes INJECTION which is different than STICK.  You can not get HIV from a surface.  Air inactivates the virus.  So, the end of a needle that is exposed to air as it absolutely would be is not going to be infectious if stuck into you. IF that even happened.  Which it probably didn't.  Do you suffer anxiety in general?  Do you have health anxiety? I'm guessing that you may and if so, that is what you need to focus on. Treating the anxiety disorder so that irrational fear doesn't grip you like this.

Hiya yes thank you for you're reply yeah I do suffer with OCD I have had help with it but this goes beyhond that I understand it may sound stupid and irrational trust me I understand I do but if sat on needle and then surely wouldn't something be injected like wouldn't this pull the pluger down maybe injected of this needle bus happens alot and I've read other things saying it is s risk so even if plunger  did push down would this still not be a risk or blood on the needle and it pierced the skin as it would of been IV needle that would been used just before I sat down so what is the overall risk why is it saying on other internet that is a risk or is this misleading

I just want to know that if I had sat on this needle the plunger might have been pushed from force of sitting on it and then blood please ino it's not the same as iv needle in vain but it's still going into the skin please could let me know if this risk I'm sorry again for asking thank you

If you had accidentally sat on a needle that went into your bum, you would have had to go to the hospital to seek medical attention.  That kind of event does NOT happen without you absolutely knowing that it happened.

Please take the advice of other members and seek help for your irrational thoughts.

Would I have to pull needle out of my bum tho if I had sat on one would that be likeyhood that I have pull it out cerfew cos I didn't pull no needle out of my bottom or can prick without pulling it out would need to seek medical help if it just picked and never got stuck in bottom so what is overall risk if I never pulled needle out of my bum and it pricked would I be at risk and have to test thank you

You have been repeatedly advised that a prick is not a risk, and that you would have had to sit on the needle and have the plunger go in - which is an event you would have been absolutely certain about.

We strongly suggest following up with your doctor to get some help for the irrational fears you are having.  You do not have an HIV concern.

This is a very irrational conclusion to draw based on finding a random pimple on your body. Please seek therapy for your unnatural HIV phobia because it's clear that you did not have a risk here and you are inventing unrealistic scenarios in your mind to explain skin bumps that were most likely either already there or popped up like regular skin things that pop up from time to time.

I understand what your saying but it wasn't a pimple that's what I'm saying it was fresh cut and if needle was sat on realistically if that was case would I be at risk

[Bo1234]
