Okay, I am wondering can you get HIV from your own blood. I probably sound like an idiot. I do know the ways of catching this virus. I am just being paranoid I suppose. About six months ago I cut myself pretty bad with these cuticle cutters which I had previously used before. They were clean, but I have bled on them in the past. (After it happened I threw them out. I wasn't chancing it again.) Ever since then I've been wanting to get an HIV test. However I don't have ANY other reason to get one. I was going to go today, but then I decided not to, and to do it in a few weeks. I've been going nuts over the chance that I have it. Seriously, tell me I'm being paranoid and it's not possible I gave myself HIV through a pair of cuticle cutters lol. It doesn't help that when I was thinking about my chances of having it. My mom pulled up in front of a car with the license plate "POSITIV". Weird coincidence? I'm freaking out. I'm also wondering about Hepatitis. I think I'm a hypocondriac =[

No, you cannot get it from you own blood, you have to be infected from an outside source. That applies to both HIV and Hepatitis.

Don't freak out! As long as you do not have unprotected sex with men or share razors ect...you should be fine. And HIV test is FREE! If you would feel more comfortable I would get one. But, like I said there is probably not a need for it. An HIV test usually involves a mouth swab and a call a week or two later. Your name is NOT needed for it. They will give you an ID number to get your results! Again, DONT WORRY! Good luck!

You are being WAY too paranoid. How can you give yourself a disease? You could however, get a normal infection from a cut. Use some cut cream! People get AIDS from very specific behaviors, not from riding on bicycle seats or something. There has to be exchange of blood -WITH SOMEONE ELSE!

First I'd suggest you never touch those cuticle scissors again, you are dangerous! No you can't infect yourself with a virus you don't have in the first place. NO WAY, NO HOW! Calm down and stay away from those damn scissors. Take care. SW RNP

in the experience that your final unprotected stumble upon became below 30 days, look ahead to that and get examined. It takes that long to locate antigens. There are loose clinics all over the place in US, yet uncertain approximately Southeast Asia. i became such as you and found out i became merely fvcking fortunate. plenty has to do with no count number while you're backside or suitable. If backside, you're plenty greater probable to get contaminated. in case try to be conscious of greater, deliver me an digital mail.

Thats ok, if you don't know you don't know.
You can not contract any "new" pathology from your own blood.
If you didnt have HIV or HEP before you cut yourself and you havent been exposed to ANYONE ELSES blood, you have no reason to get any tests.
Relax, your fine.

Aids can not live in the air and you shouldn't even worry if yo were the only one who bleed on them. Hep B is much more contagious.
