emergency issue , need your support !!!!

Hi all ,

Let me start with my emergency stupid accident , i was at restaurant with my friends we met for dinner after long time , one of my friends who is working in South Africa he was told us about his stupid behaviour there and his actions with girls so he is High risk guy love sex and doing stupid stuff , after having our dinner he asked the waiter for a toothpick he didn't use it for his teeth he was cleaning under his nail while he talking to us and accidentally made one of his nail bleeding he left to toilet to clean his hand so after at minimum 5 minutes i accidentally prick my finger with his toothpick which made a tiny bleeding i got worried and i had argument with him . When we left i told my girlfriend about the story and she got mad and she told me i might have risk of blood diseases . I really felt like a rock crach my chest . What a bad situation happened to me . Is there any risk if his blood left in the toothpick and went to my skin and made it bleeding . Any risk of hiv , hbv, hcv ? Any advice guys

You're just repeating the same questions.  NO risk means NO risk....people dont need to test if they haven't had a risk.

Get yourself some help for your irrational fears.

1.even if the blood was fresh still no risk! ?  YES

2.the cut was deep because it made penetration (bleeding)!?  A break in the skin made with a toothpick could never be significant enough to allow for transmission.

3.what the difference between needle stick and toothpick stick they do the same thing ((penetration))  COMPLETELY different scenario, apples and oranges.

You clearly have preconceived notions about what constitutes an HIV risk.  The only way you'd ever be at risk is if you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex with an infected person, or if you shared IV drugs/IV drug equipment.  That's IT.

Time to move along please.

Because HIV is not transmitted outside of the body, from objects, from minimal amount of blood, from surface cuts and so on.
