Common Questions and Answers about The fear of needles is called
fear
, 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.
I myself have a fear of needles, this is my second pregnancy.
After she came back she was histerical because the woman before her was bleeding a lot during the procedure, and the man who was doing her the tatoo after finished the work on her didnt sterilise the needle only sprayed it with some kind of desinfectant and after it dryed started to work on my friend.
Can my friend get HIV after this? I now it is too soon to do the HIV test but is her at risk?
I had a handjob from a massage worker when she felt like she was rubbing my pre *** down my uretha hole but I didnt have my eyes opn so didnt see what she had on her hands (vaginal fluid/blood). Since that day I have constant fear of having Hiv.Its all i think about ,the fear of dying and losing my children. I have pains in my right leg and constant pins and needles. I have a sore throat and ulcer.
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.
I have a very serious fear of dentist from an early age. I just had an abscess that developed in my jaw. I went to the ER and was told it was dental. However the Dr did lance it with a size 9 needle with out numbing me. That has sent me really over the edge with fear. What type of dental reference should I look for in the future? Is there any help for me with the fear? Pls help I'm am so scared.
I am in a panic even thinking that I too should be tested and the thought of having to endure treatment is terrifying to me. I know the chances are slim and I hope for the best but after being married 8 years and together 8 more before I am sure at some point in time we might of grabbed the wrong toothbrush and I know we have shared a nail clipper, etc. Anyway, although hubby does not suffer from these fears he admitted to me that he is just not sure he can go through with self-injection.
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.
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.
That is what OCD is about...a bunch of irrational thoughts and the more fearful they are the more you feed the fire with your own ruminating thinking.
The trick to this is to combat every negative thought with a positive one. In this day and age, the needle is changed every single time and it is disposed of in one of those biohazard needle boxes...it is the law. You need to keep telling yourself that. When the "what-if" thought pops up, replace it with a positive one.
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?
This is not the Doctor'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!
The only difference with me is I'm not afraid of needles xD in could've watched them put it in my back and I would have been fine and they probably could have gotten it in the first time instead of the 5th or 6th time
Hi everyone, I need some help if you can give it. Recently I have been anxious about HIV, and worried myself to death about catching it from everything, especially having a blood test- which I realise is totally daft. I have made matters much worse for myself, I'll tell you why.
s a nurse, anyhow, she called me over to her place, and said, look I have some BLOOD TAKING NEEDLES ( the vacuum type) take a look,( the needles were already opened, she opened them before I got there) there's no way you could injure yourself with them without shouting ouch or jumping a mile or not knowing, and of course she was right.
