HIV exposure

2018-08-12 16:09:44
I worked with a client who has HIV. There was potential for exposure as they pulled out their cannula and there was a lot of blood. I wore gloves but I can’t remember if any got on me. Two days later I got a cold/flu that lasted 2 weeks, I had a headache, runny/blocked nose, fatigue, change in taste and nausea. Now I have oral thrush. Have I contracted HIV?

No. Hiv only contracted tgrough invasive or pricks. If you are in doubt just go to nearest lab and check for elisa test for hiv. They give result within 1 hour.
