HIV worried
Hi,
I heard that there is an incident whereby a man is infected by HIV through a knife fight and I am worried about it. I am a 19 year old girl. Recently, I encountered a situation whereby a middle aged man attacked me on my legs using a sharp knife-like metal object. I am not sure whether there was blood on the knife. I was wearing a long tight pants and I couldn't see whether there was any bleeding. But when I removed my pants there's a cutting mark on my legs and thighs. I went to the doctor

Hi, if you r so worried go for HIV test. If you have recently got this injury the test will be negative because it will take years together to grow the virus in body.
