Hi doctor, please I need help. Two weeks ago, I was at a friends gathering or party. And we filled a barrel with glass bottle drinks and allot of ice and allot of water. Everyone picked up their drinks from the barrel. I had a cut on my finger and constantly dipped my hand in the barrel for a drink. I later got to know some colleagues at the party are hiv positive. But I did?t see the water in the barrel bloody or anything of that sort. And I can?t tell if someone had cuts on their hands as well. A week after the incident I got this mild cold. And I?m worried sick doctor. Please is it possible for hiv to have survived in the water should it be the case that any one had a cut on his or her hand? I?m worried sick and I can?t stop thinking. Is it possible to have gotten infected just like that? Please help me doctor.
