Can I get HIV from a fruit smoothie?

Two weeks ago, I purchased a fruit smoothie from a local NYC food cart. I ordered a strawberry mango smoothie and as the man was putting the strawberry in the blender, they looked really strange. Is there anyway he could have contaminated the strawberry in my smoothie with HIV? I am really scared as I have been sick for the last few days and have even lost my voice. Can I get HIV?

You really need to seek  professional mental help. Liveing with anxiety and phobias is no way to live.

Just remember always use condoms and never share needels. And HIV will never be a concern for you.
