I forgot to mention that I snorted it and didn’t use a needle. The Pulver had blood in it and I took it via nose
Brief Answer:
Risk cannot be neglected
Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Snorting will cause direct contact of the contaminated blood to your nasal mucosa. So even though the risk is not as high as in needle use, there is still a substantial risk for HIV transmission.
So please follow up with a health provider to initiate prophylactic therapy.
