earring
yesterday i went to my friends house and she pierced my ear with her earring. well, we did sterilize it by putting the earring/earring back in a little cup of that ear alcohol stuff..
well first she used a sharp earring (sterilized) to pierce my ear, and then she took it out like 5 minutes later and put in a regular earring. my ear is fine, no infections or anything- just a little blood at first.
um, so, i was wondering if you can get AIDS or anything by using somebody else's earring to pierce your ear. idk, cause i would think it's like a needle or whatever. im assuming my friend doesn't have AIDS, but who knows for sure?
also, does anyone know if there's a test for AIDS besides getting a blood sample?
please.

Yes they came out with new HIV/Aids tests that can be tested through a special swab of your spit. It takes about the same amount of time to come back as a normal test but its just as accurate. Go to your local health dept. and ask to get tested

if she does not have aids then you cant get it but if she does then you can get it from that the best way would be to go to a health clinic to be sure or try donating blood they will run a test there i hope i helped

if there was no blood on it, then you probably couldnt get aids, esp. if it was sterilized.
also, ppl with aids are very conscious and tend to be more sensitive about the talk of blood.
there ARE blood tests you can take to see if you have aids

Anytime someone else's bodily fluids (like blood) come into contact with an open wound on your body, there is a chance of an infection being tramsmitted - but only if your friend is infected.
HIV can be tested for by a simple swab in your mouth; this can be done (most likely for free) at a local clinic.
Before getting too worried, why not ask yourself - and your friend - some questions. Has she had a blood transfusion? Has she had sex? Has she ever used IV drugs? If the answer to all of these questions is no, it is highly unlikely that your friend is unwell.

HIV is very serious, and yes you could of gotten it from your friend. To get tested find a local clinic in your area. and no there is no other way of testing other than blood

There is a chance that if she did have AIDs that you could have got them. But ONLY If, her blood was on the earing and her blood came in contact with yours. If your friend hasnt had sex, you would know if she had AIDS because she would have been born with them(more than likely) If you are seriously worried about it talk to her and your parents and get tested. But i higly doubt that you've got it.

no you cant get AIDS from that. just make sure you keep it clean by putting acohol on the ear with the earing still in yoiur ear becuase if you take it out it might close up. just keep it clean and you should be fine. i do believe you can get blood samples from the doctors office. it would just be like a normal blood test.

You cant get aids from an earring.
And there is only one way to see if you do, and that's by blood sample.

Self piercing ear lobes is very common. But precautions must be taken in order to keep the newly pierced ears okay.
Although you cleaned the earring, many germs would have still been on it, but you should be okay. Sterilization is a long process in order to do it properly.
As you've already done it now, you shouldn't worry too much. Just take care of them.
You can get aids if the infected blood would have come into contact with your open ear wound. However, that is highly unlikely in your case.
So try not to panic. and if you are still worried, just get it checked out anyway to rid you of any doubts :)
