Another unusual events
Hey everyone, I don't have much knowledge about HIV pls spare me some... I'm a single father my daughter is 2yo. My ex gf and I were separated 6 mos ago. I never had sex since then. My ex doesn't have a work so the kid stays with me... I don't know anything about parenting too I'm just starting from scratch. We live with my mother, so there's someone looking after her when im at work. I had this unusual incidents that made me very anxious for about a month now. I can't get it out of my head. A month ago while at a bar I rushed to the toilet to do number 2. I saw some droplets of blood on the toilet seat so what I did is, took the sprinkler and sprayed water to the seat. Some of it went to my face and eyes and probably on my nose and mouth. It's a common toilet by the way. Then I proceed to number 2. At first the incident didn't bother me at all until I asked a friend about the symptoms of HIV. Bec I had a sore throat 3 or 4 days after. From that day on I became very worried. Should I be worried? Bec I'm so worried for my daughter I might infect her through casual touching kissing. Is kissing on the lips can infect a person if there was blood on my chapped lips and eventually gets inside her mouth? Am I risking my daughter,s health from what I have experienced? Should I get tested? Am I at risk from the incident? Is touching a door knob with blood then put my hands on my mouth infect me if the blood is HIV +? Please help me...
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

THank you! what about my other incident about touching the door knob will it be a risk? Sorry if I cause so much trouble about my anxiety. It's just that I'm so worried for my daughter's health...
Hi from what you describe you were never at any risk for contracting HIV. None what so ever as is not transmitted that way so put it out of you head.
