What Are My Chances Of Getting HIV?
My English not good, please help me on this.
December 26th I have gone for MRI Scan about my spine problem, before me one women took MRI Scan test for brain and later I took the test however I have noticed some blood in my middle finger, I don’t know where it was came to and I have noticed small pimple in my face with blood.
Just now I came to know that she was infected with HIV positive. I don’t know whether she is bleeding blood or not.
It is my thinking:
I thought if blood at MRI Scan table bed sheet and same attached to middle finger, with same finger blood scratch the pimple in face and get blood.
She was died recently and now my worries are like non stoppable.
MRI test took more than 20 mints to me and after I have changed the lab dress , while I am waiting for MRI report my hands were scratching some pimple in face at the point I had seen dried blood( very light) on middle finger it was all most after the test 1 hr .
Signal HIV rapid test at 30 days -Negative
Signal HIV rapid test ate 52 days -Negative
At 17 days I have done PCR DNA - Negative
I am worried lot for few thinks
1) If she Belding the blood and same I attached to middle figure and have scratched on my face pimple blood, what are changes to get HIV?
2) How much percentage of risk?
3) Does virus will survive at MRI radiations and outside body?
4) Do you want me test at 3 months or shall I go normal life with my wife?
Please suggest

Hello
Transmission of HIV infection through intact skin has not been documented In your case your middle finger entrapped with dried blood of that patient , who were lying on the scan before you ( HIV patient ) .
Although , that patient died due to HIV so more virulent strain were present including advanced-stage disease.
Large multi-institutional studies have indicated that the risk of HIV transmission following skin PUNCTURE from a needle or a sharp object that was contaminated with blood from a person with documented HIV infection is ~0.3 % and after mucous membrane exposure it is 0.09%( but in your case your skin was not punctured but blood was dried and contacted with your middle finger , so in that sense there is remote chance of getting HIV infection by you ).
Neither your skin puncture , rather it was INTACT but as you mentioned that you scratched your pimple on face but in this way also , no chance getting HIV infection because blood was dried and scratching was NOT DEEP .
In VIRTO i.e. outside in the air can't survive . The HIV require blood that too in large quantity .
Since , all tests are NEGATIVE & fact is also this ,but you are in great tension , so it will be the best get in ELISA test after 3 months and 6 months for HIV confirmation.
In my point of view , you are HIV free.
Good luck.
