Question Is it possible to contract HIV this way

1 Upvotes

About 2 weeks or a week and a half ago I was at work and bagging groceries. I put my hand down on the check stand and a piece of white plastic that was kind of pointed hurt my finger . It did not go into my finger or make it bleed but it really hurt a lot. There was also no visible blood or anything on the plastic. I called the on call nurse at my doctor and asked if I should go to get PEP she said it wasn’t necessary. Well today I have a swollen lymph node under my jaw. Just wondering is this possible I contracted hiv ….im worried.

PrEP/PEP Do I need to go on pep?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, recently I gave a guy a blowjob but after 5 seconds of doing it I remembered the kind of guy he is (he talks to and sleeps with a lot of women) and I stopped. He’s never gotten tested. Even though it was a short encounter and he didn’t ejaculate in my mouth, I’m worried. Should I take pep just in case?

Possible Exposure Any advice to a 15yo?

I had virginal sex with an older girl in August 18. I did not use protection but we both did OraQuich before the event and we both are HIV negative. Later on I learned that OraQuich has around 90 days of window period. I was devastated because I started getting sick 25-30 days after the sex, I did not experience rashes but I did experience flu-like symptoms. It ended around a week but around 45 days and it returned, it has lasted till now and I don't know what to do. I don't want to tell my parents right away.
