unexpected incedent
I got a hiv combi test last day at polyclinic which works more predominantly on hiv cases.Result was neg,but i suspected something that happened there.laboratory worker,she turned me back on while she was opening syringe for taking blood.this was normal but she standed there more than enough.There was no reason to wait,and i couldnt see what was happening there.I didnt mind at that point afterwards i started to think on what if she contaminated syringe hollow with infected blood or what if she sticked needle to her hand for some malicious reason,why she waited in vain?.After test i should have been just relaxed but i was feeling more anxious.Should i consider this case?,have you ever heard any incident like this? are there any routine control for health workers as psychological and physical?
no one at a clinic is going to intentionally contaminate a syringe or try to infect you with hiv. that is TOTALLY IRRATIONAL thinking.
thnks for your brighful comments indeed,Im forcing myself to forget everything happened there but not that easy.Maybe I should get some pills for my anxiety,I cant stop my brain thinking on bad scenerios.

You are obsessing, my friend. Put it behind, there is nothing to worry.
