this isn't the reason I haven't slept, but the worry was born out of it, too much time to think, and being very exhausted, and prone to anxiety in the first place.... thank you all for your replys. I made an appointment for anon test, and i called the cdc hotline and she put me at ease. I don't think i had direct contact with my hangnail, as a matter of fact i am almost positive, and I am unsure of the hiv status of the person. considering the situation after getting a little bit o'sleep I know I'd be the first personal care worker (masseuse, esticitian, etc.) in the USA to get it, but that doesn't mean I can't. I am embarrassed I dumped this all last night, I have made an appointment with a psychologist as well, as added stress has added greatly to the anxiety i already am prone to. Not to diminsh the fact that we should always be extra careful, and I am getting tested, but I really think i was not in a right frame of mind. thank you for listening.

Hi I can't believe I am posting this. So here I am at 1 am, after getting near no sleep for a few days, and am alone, and a little depressed (nothing serious, just a funk) So, my mind wanders, (why I have no idea) to a client I had a couple years ago ( I am a massage therapist) who had a pimple pop. gross, yes. I avoided the area, but I think i remember one of my fingers touching the tiny bit of blood that was there. Please don't think me foolish, I was new to the field, and although i remember it, I know I didn't think it was a big deal at the time. Just, I think lack of sleep has led me to think worst case senerio, that maybe i had a raw spot around my thumbs (nervous habit) Now, I haven't started nursing school yet, and I didn't find anything real online, and now I am thinking i need to get tested. Am I completely nuts, or is there a tiny chance of transmission? again, I can't believe I am posting this, just a thought that popped into my head, and has now consumed my thoughts. toni
