HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.

Unless you are screwing the pizza, you have nothing to worry about.

However, you sound like you have symptoms of Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.

To be diagnosed with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, one must have either obsessions alone or obsessions and compulsions. These obsessions and compulsions:
Obsessions are defined by:
--Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced, at some time during the disturbance, as intrusive and inappropriate and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
--The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems
--The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action
--The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind

Wow!
Have you ever stressed about anything else in this way before? Uncontrollable thoughts are a symptom of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It can be truly debilitating because it intrudes on your thoughts and inhibits your quality of life. You might want to think about seeing a doctor.

But to address the fears concerning AIDS/HIV
You can't catch the virus from a toilet seat, sheets, or even pizza because the virus can't live for more than a few seconds in air. So even if someone did tamper with your food, you wouldn't catch HIV. There are some other nasty things you could catch...but we won't go there.

The aids virus will be destroyed if exposed to air for only a few minutes. Even if you ingested someone elses fluids unknowingly-- even if they were infected w/the disease you won't get it. 1. The virus is already likely dead. 2. If for some reason it wasn't it would still have to enter your blood stream, so swallowing it only puts it into your stomach-- an environment it can not survive. 3. The only way this could even possibly happen is if someones FRESH fluids found their way into your bloodstream via a cut or something. That is why it can only be transferred via unprotected (no condoms) sex (because small cuts and tears do happen unintentionally-- especially anal sex, hence the association w/ HIV as a "gay disease") or using dirty needles. So unless you are drinking someone else's blood with open sores in your own mouth, or taking a bath in someone else's fluids there isn't anything to worry about.

i agree with dukalink6000 - also maybe u should talk 2 someone about this...try parents first, an c what they say, then ask if maybe u could c someone else after about this.

Do you tend to have other phobias that seem overblown?

If so, you may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Schedule an appointment with a doctor. There are medications, therapy, etc., that can help.

I think it's your age. Life is full of fears and they will eat you up if you let them. You cannot get HIV from any of the things you mention above. Go on the web and do some unbiased research, like the Centers for Disease Control, www.cdc.gov, or the National Institutes of Health, www.nih.gov. If you can't set these unjustifiable fears aside, tell your parents you need to talk to someone to help you overcome them.

I understand you perfectly because when i was 14 years old (now Im 26) I received a blood transfusion, so I decided to think I have HIV, then every sexual contact I had I thaught I had HIV, I coudnt stop this, please look for a phsycologist, soon this will help you... the reason? negative thinkings will atract negative realities.

Need you more help then our answer will tell.

Get over yourself.

The sad thing is if you spend most of your time thinking like this you will never LIVE your life to its fullest....people can feel this way about germs as well...Stop thinking about "the what Ifs" and just live. I know it sounds easy but you have too! Your going to drive yourself crazy!

Um....
A. You're OK, don't worry.
B. See a therapist.

It's normal to have phobias, everyone does, even the a**holes on here who may ridicule you. I think you should seek counseling (maybe your school psychologist can help), just so you actually have someone to talk to. S/he will be able to help you more than anyone on here can. Or talk to your parents. Just don't let others make you feel weird, because you're not.

Get over yourself.

u need sum serious help but all i can say is i think it sounds like you r OCD. my teacher was and he was sooo freaky..ya know??

man just live a normal life don't worry about what will happen,just always hope for the good then you will be fine.....if you keep your mind like this you bound to be setting in a crazy house in a couple of weeks.....you need some help seriously.....
