Hiv question?


This is for my buddy. He took an hiv test a and said he could feel somthing apart from the needles we got home and few hours later he start with the anxiety. my question is if a nurse is trying to infect someone can someone feel the virus when a needle is used to draw blood out.

he had a test one month prior to the incident in the hospital and is going to 2 weeks to make 6 weeks ..

i need some help...

he took the test because his fiance and him are getting married

anxiety.......great he had thes test...what country is he in..i could recommend some good healthcare

THERE IS NO WAY HE WOULD FEEL THE HIV VIRUS ENTER HIS SYSTEM. MAYBE HE SHOULD ALSO GET SOME HELP FOR HIS MENTAL PROBLEMS LIKE WORRY OR DEPRESSION. I DO HOPE HIS TEST IS NEG: AND THAT LIFE FOR HIM GOES ON. Report It

Nobody is trying to infect your friend. And no, you can't "feel" a virus.

i wouldnt think so or people would feel different if they contracted it through sex. it takes more than six weeks to show up, i know someone that had to wait three months for a test. she was emotionally drained. good luck to your friend

utter c r a p. Why would a nurse try to infect him?

no you can't feel a virus

I doubt if the nurse is trying to infect him, and no you can not feel a virus

when a nurse goes to daw blood everything must be kept sterile so equipment is opened at the bedside, or infront of the patient. So if she were trying to infect him he would have been able to see her do it. Your friend is just having the normal anixety that comes with an HIV test, as with any test even if you know their is no way in hell you can have a disease you would still have anxiety becasue we as humans fear the unknown, and waiting for test results is lkie the "Unknown" Good luck to your friend. Good for him and his wife for being tested prior ti marriage!:)

Ummm, it sounds like your friend is freaking out for nothing. The virus is so small that you can't even see it under a normal microscope.... THere is absolutely NO WAY that he could feel a virus go into him in ANY WAY.
Also if the nurse were to inject him with something big enough for him to feel it, that would mean that his vein would be all blocked up, which would stop the flow of blood, and not be pleasant at all for the next hours at least.
If he really suspects a nurse for doing this he ought to at least go to a whole other hospital to get re-checked but again, your friend sounds like he needs to relax!

The virus is so unimaginably small there is absolutely no way to feel it going in. Can you feel when a cold or flu virus enters your system? Of course not. I think he is just anxious and freaking himself out. He might have felt the sting of alcohol entering the opening where the needle went in.
