Please let us help: The same question was asked, and I answered it, yesterday. It was about shaking hands with a homeless stranger while his hand was bleeding. These fears are not realistic. If you are obsessed with the idea that you have contracted HIV from a fantasy scenario, or you are having thoughts that you do not understand and that are troubling you, please get with your doctor. Be brave and let us help.
