Hello everyone!
I need some help here please!
I was in a gay club with my partner, it was my first time in a gay club. I got very drunk , my bf wasn't with me all the time, we were there for hours then I got tired and told my bf that I wanted to leave he didn't want to and got upset , we left and went straight to our hotel room but we started to argue in the bathroom. Anyways next morning I noticed a bad bruise on my arm it became black and blue, at first I didn't pay that much attention thinking that I probably bumped my arm with something that I don't remember. But after I started thinking what if someone in the club stabbed me with a needle with HIV while dancing and that's why I got the bruise. I honestly don't remember bumping my arm anywhere, and again I was very drunk. I also don't remember feeling any pinch from any needle but I had this very bad bruise in my arm and I'm going crazy thinking that someone actually stabbed there with an hiv infected needle. I'm going for a test soon, I'm waiting for 2 weeks to pass to have the test. Please tell me is all in my head and I actually bumped my arm while arguing with my bf in the bathroom. I don't want to think that someone saw me very drunk and alone and stabbed me with a needle with hiv blood in a gay club. I can't stop worrying about it. Is there a possibility for someone to get hiv from a needle? Does people actually do that? I read from google that that's an urban legend and there's not much cases like that.
Please help !
I appreciate any feedback and if I'm wrong please forgive my ignorance
@Lolas31,
Get yourself tested. That is the way to be certain.
@Lolas31,
After getting a blood test (it's free if you get it at certain clinics) and it's a smart thing to do periodically even without this alleged inciting incident.... That's just good public practice for all.

You should consider getting some kind of therapy. You seem like you are susceptible to odd hypochondriac like delusions. Unless, there is some serial assaulter out there, I would safely assume that this urban legend is just that an urban legend.
@tsarstepan,
This is why I stopped going out in public. Those HIV needle stabbers are everywhere, lurking in the shadows, just waiting to pounce and poke!!!
This one time I was at Walmart, looking at camo sheets, and this guy jumped out of the pillows and tried to stab me with an HIV needle. Fortunately I had just been through the kitchenwears and had picked out a skillet so I had a shield to defend myself.
Terrifying times.
@Lolas31,
I didn't think so either.
Some of us on a2k have had friends who died of HIV, including me re a naval architect pal, and I still miss him, still memories.
That is because he had a terrific sense of humor and understanding of the ways of the world. Terrific story teller, also, person.
I still remember him eating too much hummus I made for a business party in our design studio. My very first hummus making..
