Two weeks ago I went to a hospital and measured my weight barefooted. After returning home I thought if there was HIV infected fresh blood and get sticked to my foot obviously small amount otherwise I can notice that. At that day from there I reached home by walking for about 15 minutes by using chappals in my foot. Then entered home changed my dress took another 5 minutes. Total 20 minutes. My anxiety is that I walked in my home barefooted and sat on the floor by putting my hand on that place where my foot touched the floor. I did&apost wash my hand went to bathroom for bathing and during urinating I touched my urethra. Could it be possible the HIV virus from blood particles if present travel from my hand to urethra through water and urine and get into the mucous membrane and infect me under this situation, though 20 min. Time has passed. Please tell me in details.

lybrate-user, What you are describing is making you a psychological patient suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD, with HIV phobia. HIV is not transmitted like this. You need a couple of sessions of counseling. No test and no medicines indicated.
