Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this possible exposure and all the inconveniences this has caused you. I have reviewed your symptoms and the surrounding circumstances concerning a possible infection and the chances are very low. Worries are real but for sure there is little chance that you got infected from this encounter. Also, your symptoms are not typical of acute HIV seroconversion symptoms. For sure, these symptoms could be confused with a possible seroconversion symptoms but they are not specific and bear very little weight in shifting the balance towards HIV. Spitting up blood is not also typical of HIV infection.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
