Today I went to the gym with a cut on my finger. It is a cut near my nail and my whole "around my nail" area is bloody. I don't know how I got it.

I know it was there before I went to the gym too. Now I am constantly worrying about contracting HIV from any POSSIBLE way. With that said you could imagine how I feel after working out and then realizing my cut was still there.

It wasn't bandaged or anything. So I immediately left the gym once I noticed it was still an issue.

Why am I here? Well because my mind is racing and I can't think straight.
I must ask: Is there little risk for me to contract anything? I feel as if I just ruined my whole future by just going to the gym with an open wound...

I am sure you will not have put yourself to any risk at all.

your wound will have to have been in direct contact with someone elses fresh blood to stand any chance of catching anything they may have so unless this has happend i wouldnt worry

Humans are amazing. We can fight off anythin if it's open to oxygen! Only deep puncture wounds are things to worry about. I thoughts I had tetanus one summer when I got all sorts of wounds gardening. But im fine :hugs:
