i had a bad experience recently, i met this unknown person, and he accidentally poked my nose (as in his finger went inside my nose). the problem was when he took it out, there was blood on his finger, that was when i realised that the blood came from his open wound. How? His blood was in my nose. I panick and went to clean my nose immediately with a tissue, and there were blood on the tissue too. I really don't know what to do now, i can't sleep or live a normal life for almost a week already. please help me.
i know that this is not a matter of hygience, but whether am i going to contract the virus from this unkown person since i don't even know his status?
I understand from another scenario like fingering the anal, even with an open wound is considered as quite low risk of contracting the virus. But what about the scenario which i have experienced?
:(

If you are that concerned about it then go an see a doctor and let him know exactly what happened. I am sure that it is highly unlikely that contacted anything but i'm sure that a doctor will be able to put your mind at ease. Good luck to you.

The blood carries the viruses and if come in contact with body fluid can spread, even from an open wound. I don't think you are at any high risk.
Since you are worried call your local health department talk to some one (or your Dr.) be tested. The health dept. do their test by using numbers no name has to be given. There are also hiv hotlines (look in your phone book in the blue pages under US Gov. call talk to a counslor they are super nice.
This will ease your mind which you need. Which you need right now.
You will get many answers here but the right one will come from some one who you know deals with this (an virus)

Since this is really bothering you , you can go to an ER and tell them your story, they will take notice and give you an explanation or a test to see what, if any, std's you might have picked up. There is a blood test for this so don't panic, if they see how concerned you are they'll help you.

aids can be transmitted from blood to blood contact. you must have an open wound, and the other person has to have an open wound to receive the virus. your blood and the other persons blood have to mix with each other. unprotected anal sex is another way. you probably are ok, but if you are worried ask your doctor.
