You won't get HIV from that unless the blood was infected with HIV.Either way, you should get yourself tested for HIV...I hope its negative!!

Oh, my god
How long can I take a HIV test?
I 'm so anxious
please help me

How long does it take for HIV to show up in a blood test after initial infection?

Up to 6 months. If there has been NO risk for 6 months prior to the test, the results are 99.9% accurate. People with HIV may be MOST infectious to others during this first six months.

Oh gosh you must feel so terrible!! I wish there was something more positive I could say...I so sorry this happened to you. The only thing we can hope for is that the blood wasn't infected.

Oh and you should probably get youself tested every month for the next 5 months....

do read the info on that link.

The nurse stuck the blood in the needle and then injected you? That is criminal my dear.

Yes you need up to six months to get an accurate HIV test. It is recommended that you take two tests three months apart. Wait three months, do a test and then wait three months and do another test. This is because the test catches 98% of the people infected. There is another 2% that takes six months.

All the best

Mominashoe,

It is not necessary to go for a test every month. It is too much stress if nothing else. It is advisable not to have any risk activities while waiting for the test results. Use protection and such is what I would tell TV.

Thanks.

testvietnam, dont worry 2 much. The risk is minimal. It really is. Take mominashoe and Msons advise and you will be OK. Do not stress or freak out over this please, that wont help the situation, just get tested and remember that HIV is not the death sentence it once was. People are living long healthy lives with AIDS and HIV.

Yeah sorry that was just my own personal suggestion. I read that people are the most contagious in the first 6 months of infection, so that's why I said it, and you're right, that would be too much stress. She can just avoid activities just the same. Sorry.

Dont apologize, mominashoe...we appreciate you and your advise was not bad and the web link was very good so no apologies,OK?

Ok. No apologies...

....and ty.
