Freaaaaaking out


Quote  |  Reply

So today I stupidly took a sip out of a slurpee from this girl, and right after i did it, a huge wave of terror hit me, because this girl sleeps around, and I don't know if she has unprotected sex, therefore, i don't know if she has AIDS/HIV. Now I'm soooooooooooooo scared that I'll get it, and I don't know if she had any bleeding cut or sore in her mouth, and at the time I took the sip, I didn't, but a few mintues ago i accidently bit my lip and it started to bleed, and now I'm practically crying because I'm so scared that the germs from her mouth this morning might still be lingering in my mouth, and just found an open window into my bloodstream...so i need some help! I called my dad, who's a doctor, and he says its almost impossible, but  i need a second or third or more opinions..so someone please help!

When I worked at McDonald's there was an OCD guy that thought that if he shook a man's hand who had a cut on it, he would get HIV. It doesn't work like that, and the likelihood that you got AIDS/HIV from a sip of slurpee is pretty dang slim. Stop freaking out! What good does it do to freak out? Nothing! In fact, you may start experiencing "symptoms" if you obsess on it. Calm down and you'll be fine.

You don't even know she has anything and the chances of that are slim, multiplied by the minimal chance she had a cut in her mouth, multiplied by the minimal chance that her body fluids from her cut were still in your mouth coming into contact by the time you cut your lip = negligible chance. Stop panicking. You're dad's a doctor. Trust him. Parents worry about their children and if he's not worried about you, you shouldn't be.

If your dad's a doctor, listen to him.   A few harmless bacteria won't kill you but paranoia and hypochondria just might....

Sorry, its just i'm a massive hypochondriac and i have anxiety disorder so i kinda freak out alot

Actually that was my slurpee, she took it off my dresser after getting her clothes and leaving.  Don't worry too much...I've been drinking slutty girl's slurpies for years and I'm fine except for a weird sound my ankles make when I roll them around...but that's probably not related. 

That was a joke.

You're probably fine...it would be a 1 in a million thing to contract AIDS that way.  Next time you and your friend go to 7-11, tell her to skip the slurpee and buy some condoms...then you can share your slurpee with her without anxiety.
