Is HIV Transmission Possible Through A Bed Bug Bite?
I have test for hiv and my results is negative but is 0,8 and i'm little bit concerned about the number. I have been tested before 3 months and it was negativen then, I haven't had sex or anything that I can get Hiv, I am only afraid because of bedbugs because I killed a lot of bedbugs and I touched the blood from them with my hands. Can i get Hiv from the blood of the bedbugs.

Hello,
If the HIV tests are based on antigen and antibody reactions and any levels below threshold are considered as negative. This doesn't mean that you have very low infection, this means negative only.
HIV doesn't spread by bite of bed bugs so please don't get afraid of that. You just have anxiety of getting HIV and consult a psychiatrist for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
