Question

My new tattoo worried about HIV?

Answer 1

HIV takes several years to develop, so you haven't got it. You probably just have a cold. Don't worry about it.

Answer 2

Your scaring yourself. If you seen him open new needles before your tattoo there is no way you got HIV from that as long as it was sanitary which how you described it it sounds like it was. You probably just have a common cold or flu. I would be more concerned about catching HIV from unprotected sex than from getting a tattoo now of days. As long as you go to a shop...most...have the best interest of their customers in mind!

Answer 3

if u still worry take a test pls u will be fine stay well

Answer 4

You are scaring yourself. If you watched him use all new and clean equipment and products on you, then you have nothing to worry about. Getting a tattoo can be a strain on some people's immune systems since now all your strength is going towards healing this relatively large wound you have just introduced to your body, so the blocked nose and cough could be symptoms of something your body has been trying to fight off for a few days now and can no longer focus 100% on.

Answer 5

Do not worry, I do not think that is what you have HIV and if they were not caused by the tattoo because it was in good condition; asdemás the disease even years Nesta latent in the body until it manifests itself, thus it is impossible to pass one day to another

Answer 6

immune systems can drop when a tattoo has been done but please dont woory yourself as depending where you live you may have caught a cold.if your worried go to see your doc or go to the hospital to put your mind at rest

Answer 7

I really think that at this point you don't have much reason for concern. Tis' the season for flu like symptoms (spring round 2!) also pollen is making it's way make in the air as well. If the company is a good company and you watched the sterilization process or if he opened new items in front of you, your fine. If a mistake WAS made (which it sounds not likely) It would require the odds being pretty small of making the first mistake and reusing a needle, as well as finding an HIV positive person. That little needle would have had to really been in a haystack for that to happen.



Get some Airborne and relax with some tea...You should be just fine.

Answer 8

I think you're worrying over nothing.



Sometimes bugs can be in your system for a few days before they show, or it's just your immune system's way of dealing with your new tattoo.



And if what I've been told about HIV, you can't detect it straight away. So I would stop worrying.

Answer 9

Scarying yourself if you were that worried about getting HIV you would have done your research before getting a tattoo some shop re sterile their needles which is not a good idea. But the place you went to uses new one.

Answer 10

Relax! HIV is a very wimpy virus. It doesn't live long in atmosphere, about 2 seconds. If you got HIV from this tattoo, it would take about 6 months to incubate, and it would take years for you to show any signs of illness. So in short, I'm pretty sure that you don't have any HIV.

Answer 11

you are fine... you've just got a cold.



it takes 3 weeks for any symptoms of HIV to show up in blood tests, and it takes much longer for physical symptoms to show.



No worries!! Just take care of your brand new tattoo. :)
