Avatar n tn Doctors dont re used needles why would they? They cost nothing not to mention they are trained not to do so. Its all in your head quite frankley. Even if they did, as zam said, HIV once exposed to air then its very unlikley to pose any risk, but the risk is nothing more than in your vivid imagination than reality.
Avatar f tn , cups, paper, sticks, trash, etc, but I have fear of it being a needle. The funny thing is, most of the time, I never review the photos; I guess just knowing I have them brings me relief. Before, I was even using a picker to pick things up off the ground, which I would store in the trunk of my car; however, I've pretty much gotten past that. It has come to the point that my condition is impacting my relationship.

Avatar f tn s literally not possible to inject any blood from those needles because of pressurization to help draw the blood out. People with dysfunctional thinking related to HIV phobia can't seem to wrap their brain around this simple concept but it's a fact that cannot be disputed.

Avatar m tn Hi,Recently I had my blood drawn for medical tests related to sugar levels, also had some injections ,both times failed to notice the quality of needles.Im little bit afraid.is there any risk when normal injection is taken,in the arm or in the butt.
Avatar f tn You said you are intelligent. I do believe you. You have only one question to answer, as Jesus asked I will ask also. Why? The answer for that only you have. Go back in time in your head and remember. You might have bad experiences, clear those for yourself, and then heal yourself. For you to do that is important maybe more important than your cholesterol standing right now.Until you make it to the doctor eat cholesterol friendly as you can. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Hi, this morning I went to the hospital for the rabies vaccine, I was sitting on the chair waiting for the nurse to give me 2 dose shot, then I noticed there was a container on the floor with used needles in it, and at the last dose, I saw the nurse accidentally slightly contact the container with some sound, and I can't stop thinking what if the needles come out of the container and get in touch with me, if there a risk?
Avatar n tn My husband has Hep C Also. Even having sex with me bleeding from a tumor in my uterus before an hysterectomy and him having blood in his urine, etc from bladder cancer I never contacted Hep C. My husband also has ecema and his head bleeds on the pillow sometimes and he scratches like crazy... and nothing. I admit, I'm careful. We do not share razors now that I'm aware he has Hep C. But I'm not stressing about it since I haven't contacted it yet.
Avatar m tn s forum, you have to pay for that one, nonetheless you have NO RISK OF HIV, HIV is an extremely fragile virus which spreads through bodily fluids in acts of unprotected sex (vaginal/anal), or the sharing of needles, you need to see your Doctor about those symptoms as they are not indicative of HIV but I think it's stress and anxiety, try not to worry!

Avatar f tn Again, IV drug needles are different than blood draws. That you had a blood draw, then an HIV test because of fear of the blood draw and then renewed needle fear from the hiv test? Sounds like classic anxiety. I'd work on the anxiety. Have you posted about this on the site before now?
Avatar f tn if you have unprotected penetrative vaginal or anal sex or sharing of drug needles. Hiv is inactivated by air and saliva. Every time you have a fear of HIV, remember that. It should alleviate the worry. If you didn't do these things, you aren't going to get HIV.
Avatar m tn I was recently diagnosed with diabetes, but have been afraid of needles for my whole life. Can anyone suggest any alternatives to injecting insulin, or ways to overcome this fear?
Avatar m tn I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK "HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
Avatar m tn This sounds to me like a response to someone who wants help with a fear of needles, and not like a question that begs for a response? Right?
Avatar n tn Aside from some adversion therapy, I suppose some talk therapy could help you out, but I think it would be a waste of money. You said you also have a fear of bloodwork. Most of us with anxiety issues have fears when we go for any kind of test, be it bloodwork or an X-ray or CT......so this is also very common. You said you just had some blood work done and you obviously survived, but now you have a fear that they used a dirty needle.
