Apr 1, 2008
Dear Sir Bob ( yes the Queen of England should make you a knight-you deserve it..)

Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Damsel in Distress,
HIV does not survive very long outside the body. Your HIV-acquisition risk is so remote it's essentially nonexistent. If you're worried get a single rapid HIV test. You'll have your definitive negative result in as few as 20 minutes.
Can I be Knight of the Circular Bed of Passions instead of the Round Table? (I think I'd be better suited. I'm a lover not a fighter!)
Dr. Bob
