Dr. Bob,

I went to a estitician and had her look at my finger I wrote to you about.

She said theer is no broken or punctured skin ,, just a little red mark underneathe the skin. from maybe a pinch of this guys finger-nail.

Is there still a chance of anything getting to that, meaning can I get the HIV virus from having something like that close to the surface of the skin?

What are the chances in this case?

My last test was just recently Negative. Can I still be a Whooo -- whooooable person.

I love you your for answering me - if you will.

Donation will be mailed on Monday -- Please supply address.

Still anxious till I hear from you Dr. Bob.

Sincerely, Linda
