Thread: Can i catch HIV from dried blood?

1st of all i need to say that i have health OCD and i worry about every health condition esp HIV

I was at wedding party a few weeks ago, and i was VERY drunk and the bride cut her finger with a knife opening something.

Here is where i get confussed, there are pics from my camera of the party but none with the brides hand in a cloth which she wrapped it in after the cut. But there is a drunken picture of me on the floor and my finger is by a dark redish blob and im not sure if it is smeared or not. it doesnt look bright or fresh coloured

my friend said that the cut happend after these pics were taken, but i am so scared i have touched blood and caught HIV

im i over reacting ?

I'm sure your friend doesn't have HIV. You can't catch HIV unless the person has it.
Get a test if you are worried though, to put your mind at rest
