Right to be worried: If something dangerous happened within the last few hours, call your physician now. If you have symptoms suggesting HIV -- especially, a very severe and prolonged flu-like illness a few weeks after doing something risky -- get seen now. Always love safely and don't share needles. At your next annual physical, get an HIV screening test, or now if you want. Best wishes.
