Hello everyone, This may seem sooo silly to some but have been worrying myself sick for 5 days...
My friend's boyfriend came for tea (both friend's are gay males), later in the eve he asked me to squeeze a spot on his neck for him ( i know your all thinking ewwww! But i am the cheif squeezer lol ) Turns out it was a cyst and i had no gloves so i wrapped wet wipes round my fingers and squeezed it to the point it bled, a tiny amount of blood went through the wipes onto a small scratch i had gotten earlier that day! i only noticed after about 30 seconds that it had gone through! There has never been any mention of his status and obviously dont want to ask! Im terrified in case i have caught hiv/ hep etc from him? eventhough i dont know of his stautus! Does anyone out there think they can help???? Please no scare mongering! I have a anxiety disorder and a young daughter and im terrified x :-( ?

Hi honey! Even though there has been a few cases about blood being contacted with scratches etc, these were with caregivers who were taking care of FULL blown Aids patients! In this day and age AIDS is less and less common in the gay community - because there is more information of course and most homosexuals are VERY responsible! There is NO way your friend or his boyfriend would knowingly put you in danger! That would be not only WRONG but also Criminal! So please relax OK? I am 100% you did NOT get anything from the zit! Also you put wipes on your fingers so that antibacterial solution would still be on your fingers - to stop any other infection! My dermatologist - who cuts off my skin cancer monthly - doesn't wear gloves, she just washes her hands and sanitizes them etc, So RELAX OK? to tell you the truth MORE Heterosexuals are getting HIV over the Gay population - as there is SUCH a high rate of STI's and pregnancy! So keep that in mind OK? Good luck and health honey! you're fine honey!
