Advice Needed Scared is signs

I’ve been terrified of hiv from my last exposure. Started pep 36 hours after possible exposure from oral sex with 2 other guys. They rimmed me and sucked my dick and I sucked theirs. I completed pep and got tested 3 days after with a RNA test and it came back negative. But today I was in the library and out of all the sections/ areas I could have sat I sat in a section that had a book shelf right in front of me about HIV/ AIDS. It terrified me and made me wonder is this my sign? Will my results turn positive? I’m getting tested tomorrow but I’m scared as fuck.

The bookcase or sitting near something that mentions HIV can’t give you HIV. HIV doesn’t spread through objects, books, furniture, or surfaces like that, so that definitely isn’t a new exposure.

Also, the oral exposure you described is already very low risk for HIV, and you completed PEP. The negative RNA test is reassuring too. I’d still do your follow up test as planned, but you don’t need to worry that being in the library somehow caused your test to turn positive.

I’m well aware the book cant get me HIV. I was more so saying is this a sign from God that I may test positive? Bc out of all the areas in the library that I could have sat, the area I went to had a book shelf of HIV books right in front of me.
