Needle stick/hiv phobia. i pricked my finger on something in public space. it drew blood. my panic is that i dont know what it was.

Phobia: The chances are quite slim that you pricked your finger on of all things, an HIV positive needle in a public place. Please call your doctor for an appointment as the only to know is by taking a test at the office.
