i got a manicure today and I got cut again really bad again by the utensile they use to remove the skin around the cuticle. I wasn't really worried until he took this tube container thing I didn't know what is was and rub it on the cut, which hurt. It ended up being glue to try to close the cut, then I got afraid it was secretely a needle containing hiv to try to transfer, but I now how crazy that sounds. So I'm trying not to imagine that scenario.the nail painter had a couple cuts that worried me. And if they recently used that glue tube tip on someone else's cut and they were hiv positive, could I get it from that? And they always make you stick your hand in that gluey liquid that dries into a glove on your hand, could hiv survive in that? Please help I'm really worried and scared.
Another hiv fear from nail salon. Please help

If you are worried about contracting HIV you could go and get a test done. It is very doubtful that you caught it at the nail salon. Try not to worry about it and don't be afraid. I am sure you are okay.

While I can't guarantee this is 100% impossible for you to contact HIV from this experience, I can tell you it is very unlikely for you to get the virus. I see that you are very worried about getting the HIV virus this way. While it may sound crazy, try to do research on it to ease your worries. Good medicine is being invents to cure AIDS every second. This is not a deadly disease anymore.
