Exposure to HIV from manicure?


On May 15th I got a manicure and, from what I could remember, there were no cuts or blood present. About 3 weeks later I developed a terrible cough, headache, and fatigue. I fear this could be ARS symptoms pertaining to HIV. I am terrified and I have to wait 9 weeks to have a conclusive HIV test. How probable is it that I (God forbid) contracted HIV from this manicure?

The chances are effectively nil of getting HIV from anything other than unprotected sexual contact, getting contaminated blood or sharing needles.
But yes u can get hiv from a manicure if the manicure tools were used on someone who has hiv & this person was cut & bleeding & then used on u w/o proper cleaning & u were cut as well u can also get hiv from a hair cut the same way if these so called professionals don't clean their tools correctly! my advice is find a nail shop that sells personal kits here in miami they cost like $10-&20 & the nail shop keeps it for u or u can take it home w/u in that case u will be the only one using it.

I think that you are just being paranoid about this. I dont think you can get HIV from getting a maincure because once it becomes airborne it dies. The only reason I would be paronoid if I was you if I had unprotected sex with someone.

How could you have contracted it? There's no possible way. Symptoms would not show up 3 weeks later, it can take people years to develop symptoms. You're fine.

No risk.
