Can I relax.......?
Jun 23, 2012

Afternoon Dr Wohl

I hope this email finds you well and happy.

I am 28 years old and yesterday gave my friends gardener a bag of old clothes I dont wear anymore. He was very gratefull and grabbed my hand to shake it. I afterwards noticed that the hand he shook, had 2 small grazes on it, from accidently dragging my hand against a wall whilst jogging the day before. I dont even know if the gardener was HIV posotive, but he was african (know this doesn't matter) and I live in S.A.

My boyfriend comes home tomorrow and we would obviously want to be intimate. Would this still be ok? Can I?

Am I Being Silly and paranoid for no reason?

Thanks and Regards

Brett
