17 and first HIV test Jan 6, 2009 I got tested at an HIV clinic... They did a rapid test where they prick your finger with a lancet. A few minutes after I put the band-aid on I took it off while still at the clinic. Now I'm worried if I touched a door knob or table, or anything that had hiv infected blood on it and then it got into the small prick on my finger, since it had only been a few minutes after the finger prick. Am I at risk? Is the small lancet prick large enough of a wound (tiny,same kind of lancet to check sugar/glucose) for hiv to get into, or does it have to be a larger wound? How fast does HIV die on surfaces?? Thank you doc! You're too cute <3 I just donated half of my pay check to you :) F.Y.I I don't make too much :/ lol |

 Hi, Relax Max. Your HIV-acquisition risk is nonexistent and your fears, completely unwarranted. Thanks for your donation to The Robert James Frascino AIDS Foundation and the "too cute" comment! Be well. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
