Yesterday I was at
a nail salon and the woman was trimming my
cuticles and she took a chunk out of one
and it started to bleed. Before I sat down
I asked if the utensils had been cleaned
and she said yes. Her hands were in tact,
she even let me look at them. I watched
her take out the utensils from a lazor
light thing and she opened a sealed
package. I do not think that the towel was
clean underneath, but I did not see blood
on it. I went to wash my hands and there
was a woman next to me washing hers. When
I grabed a paper towel there was 2 spots
of greenish yellow on it and my mond is
telling me that it was blood or puss. When
I got cut, I freaked out because I think
you all should know that I have a pretty
messed up case of obssesive compulsive
disorder and a lot of my obsessions are
about hiv and germs. I need to know if I
should go get tested for this. My mom was
with me and shes an RN she told me not to
freak out but I'm obviously having a
little trouble with that. Please write
back anyone who has time. I would love to
have some feedback. Thanks so much to
those who read this and respond.

get tested if you are going to freak out
about it...it isn't likely but if you have
OCD then do it and get it over with so you
can move on...Why would you be focused on
HIV and germs...the 2 are not connected
and it is kind of a slap in the face to
people with HIV. HIV is not able to live
in the air...it is not easy to get ... it
is a serious illness that people should
not obsess over but be aware of. HIV is
not a germ, its a virus that lives in the
blood.
