Before I went clubbing I thought I would get stabbed a aswell. Does this sound like I have been stabbed.

I am not sure of the kind of pain and mark a syringe stabbing attack would inflict

Im I at risk with HIV

please please help me

Answer
I can't tell you if you were stabbed or not, but I do advise you to see your doctor.  They may want to run some test on you for things other than HIV too.  HIV can really only be tested for six months after exposure for it to be that accurate.  But there is other bacteria that can cause serious infections.

AIDS

Experience

I am attending school for my licenses to teach in Cell and Molecular divison, this is a recent change in my career I was going to school for surgical technology. We have to know all about STDS and other diseases. My personal experience is I have HPV. It is not AIDS or HIV but it is a STD that can cause cancer. I had to deal with the stages of feeling dirty and unworthy and scared. I think that I can help people get past this and further their knowledge of HIV and AIDS.
