Hi all I'm really hoping that someone can give me some advice as I'm not sure if I'm being totally irrational or not! I have ocd and anxiety.
My foster brother is a heroin user and has been for several yrs now, last week I bumped into him after 3 yrs as he has been in prison! It was great to see him and flung my arms around him and gave him a huge kiss on the cheek!! He has a long chat and as we parted we embraced again and this time he kissed my cheek!
So here is the thing..... I had a mammoth pimple on my cheek that had bled earlier that day (wasn't bleeding at the time he kissed my cheek) what in your opinions I'd the chance of catching hep/hiv/aids from this kind of exposure? I'm not certain but almost 99% sure he has either hepatitis and/or hiv/aids! My reason for being sure is he has mentioned this to me in the past and he clearly looks ill!
In honesty I have rang 2 health professionals who both siad there is minimal risk exposure but noone will offer me a vaccine or test!! I have a 5 yr old and I'm scared to even touch her! I just got my menstuational period and after a heavy bleed I leaked a small bit on my bed, next morning I found my daughter had moved and laid on the dried blood!!!! If I did contract it from my brother could she now contract it!!!! Omg!!!! Freaking out!!!!!
Please help I'm beside myself!!!!!!!
