Next day when I went in government hospital I find lot of hiv patients .and I was kept beside them .my cut was a bit open then the first day and how far I think I have nt touched anything like blood and fluids .if I have mistakenly touched any of them will I contract hiv and other stds through this exposure. Also I showed my pimples to my doctor with same bare hand .I am too anxious I am moving to abroad next week. And just 20 years old.

Mr. lybrate-user, Our body is beautiful creation of Nature. As soon as we get some injury, it instantly works to heal it and protect it from further damage. Your concern for contracting infection is valid, but your body's defense system is strong enough to resist infections. You got Cut injury MANY hours before your exposure to infection area. Trust on your own body. If you still feel anxious, you may get your tests done again. CD4 counts and ELISA tests are generally advised for the same. All the best!
