HIV Question? |
I'm trying to put my friend's mind at rest, can anyone help? I'm sorry, i know the question is long-winded. I just wanted to make i got everything down so she'd believe your answers - she gets very paranoid. No, she won't get HIV from this. She has no chance of catching HIV from this sort of exposure. Saliva has enzymes that kill the HIV virus and the virus does not live outside the human body for long. There would also have to be a huge viral load which most people dont have. the chances she came in contact with someone with HIV let alone someone with a huge viral load are small First off, HIV and hepatitis are spread by direct contact with infected blood or through unprotected sex. If she is in a profession that entails handling of blood or blood products then she should wear protective gloves and wash her hands carefully after she has handled the blood. There's the possiblity, of course, that she could have brushed her finger against a red marker pen which has indelible ink. If she's really worried about the possibility of infection then she should speak to her physician and stop acting silly about all this. She should probably see someone about this problem, because even people who are not hypocondriacs can worry about small symptoms and blow them out of proportion. How about explaining to her that while all these unexplainable red pieces of dirt she runs into through her life are not blood, if she ever does get infected with a disease- both preventable or unpreventable- she will have the strength to get through it in one way or another. She will understand that life only begins when you learn to live it, but I'm sure she can learn this prior to something bad happening. okay first of all there is no way to satisfy someone that has obsessive compulsive Disorder so theres no reason to even try because she will still obsesse okay |
