should i feel worried?

It would help a whole lot if you could go back there and find the syringe and get that tested. Then the doctor would know what you might have been exposed to and give you specific drugs, if necessary.
i had this idea for a moment back then, but did't do that :confused:

and the ones who feel strange about me coming to meesage board first before seeing the doctor: i was talking to a doctor i'm familiar with and he kind of comforted me a little, by saying that there's about 0,3-0,5 % possibility of getting HIV through a tiny prick of a needle, because even if your body gets HI virus in small ammount it can be overcome by your body's immunity. Also it depends on how long that syringe was left laying outside. of course, like always, there's possibility...
doctor told me lots of times he accidentally got tiny pricks from needles which were used for patients who were infected with staphylococcus and he didn't get infected.

Why take the chance. If there is any possibility of you getting anything I'd take it serious as fuck. You should be exaggerating it also, thinking the worse can happen so you can stop it from happening. That's some serious shit that happened to you, don't see why you're so nonchalant about it.

Yes, afer all the chances of gettin anything through just a needle are very slim. You have a good chance that nothing is going to happen 2 you. So don't trip, people and movies exagerate a lot there..... HOWEVER, since this could be so damn serious, you shouldn't take chances, you know. You gotta see a doctor and do tests. Don't be scared. You have a good chance of bein aiight. But still... like I said, this is too serious 2 just forget about it!

If you go sooner rather than later they can give you medication that will stop the HIV from developing. It can also take 6 months for HIV to develop and you will need to have another test then. So it's 6 months of worry.

Saying HIV isnt AIDS is like saying being pregnant isnt having kids.

If you get HIV and you dont have Magic Johnson money you will probably die of AIDS.

DUDE - go to a doctor cause you have no idea what you're talkin about. I mean, how can u say something like this? First of all there are 3 different forms of hepatitis. You can die of hepatits as well as of aids, but ... anyway, I don't waste my time talkin about details cause it's obvious it doesn't make sense. You should go 2 a doctor instead of makin decisions based on your not existing medical knowledge.
