What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of HIV?

My boyfriend cleaned his roommates blood off his cat the other day. He washed his hands right after but he had some scabbed over cuts from playing with the cat previously. I m nervous that he just exposed himself to HIV. Today he had a popped pimple by his lip that I didn t see when I kissed him, and now I m scared he has exposed me too. Please help me.

Hii

Relax.

HIV is not such kind of infection which show symptoms within few days.

And your boyfriend has no chance to get infection in the way you have described.

Both are you safe.

Just to control your anxiety.

It is only fear.

So do not worry.

Thank you
Take care.
