Hiv from cocaine use - help

Posted , 6 users are following.

last year in 2018 i had The same worry I stupidly took a line of cocaine at a party and freaked that I would’ve caught something from sharing the straw. I came here to vent and I rang HIV hotline which said unlikely and I eventually put it out my head. My partner took cocaine on Saturday night with a couple of his friends after the grand final . he doesnt do it often maybe once or twice a year so i didnt care as it was a celebration . Anyway he lent a questionable mate ( who is a truck driver and takes alot and has hookers on his way ) a 50 dollar bill then put it back in his wallet . he took his next line with a 50 dollar bill . i pulled him aside and told him to not share as i have health anxiety . he told me he knew which note the other guy had used even though they were right next to each other in his wallet , I cracked it that he cant be sure so he didn’t have any more. he blew his nose and there was a spot of blood on the tissue mixed with the mucus , it sent my anxiety high because now blood is involved .

i now wont go near him physically and hes calling me psycho and saying hes not putting up with this for 3 months and no he wont test cause there is nothing wrong . am i nuts ? we were going to try for another baby after our wedding . 😦

    you're nuts lol.

    You are not catching HIV through a shared note, the most you would catch is a cold

      to clarify , the note is what americans call dollar bills and it was rolled to snort drugs. im not meaning shared via touch , i mean up the nose with the possibility of blood droplets 😦 i hope your right though

      i hope its just paranoia stacy . every website said sharing needles straws or dollar bills used to snort is a risk of hiv transmission . i want him to test incase he has caught something but he thinks im crazy

    its like your situation. HIV dies very quickly outside of the body. so by the time he put his nose up to it the virus was already dead. the blood could have been from having cocaine in his nose. but HIV isn't contracted that way. only by semen and vaginal discharge and sharing needles. he has a very slim chance of having it. literally next to nothing.

      i always thought the same but so many hiv / hep pages have since added snorting equiptnent be it straws money etc as transmision due to deoplets of blood being taking into the membrames through the nose . im actually going loopy i think lol

    You aint catching s**t from a "dollar bill" lol you could literally lick the blood off that note and wouldn't catch HIV from it. So many people are ill educated and doing too many drugs and getting paranoid off it.

    HIV in someone would need to be passed through blood to blood contact or sexual fluid contact..just trust me on this one, you aint got HIV from sharing a blood splatter off a note

      i love your response and i really really really want to beleive it but hiv sites state snorting as a risk for blood on blood due to blood on note taken into blood in the nose . my partner def had blood as he blew his nose not long after the line . he isnt worried and thinks the blood is just irritation from snorting .
