Hi, I'm 18, about 6-7 weeks ago I was playing football (soccer) in my school yard, and at one time I fell into a hedge (Some of our teachers say there has been found syringes in there before). I couldn't really feel anything special besides the pain when I landed on the ground. It was only really my arm that went inside the hedge, not the rest of my body. I think I had a shirt on that was covering my arm, but not completely sure. When I got up and pulled it back, I saw a little scratch and a very very tiny reddish dot in the middle of my arm. It didn't bleed, it was just reddish. But I didn't clean it or anything.

Now, after 6 or 7 weeks, I've had a little sore throat for around 7 days (it's on and off, but it's there most of the time) and the other days some joint pain and a little headache (2-3 days). Could this be the symptoms of hiv, that I maybe landed in a syringe / needle or what? I'm quite scared and don't know if I should see a doctor.

What do you think?

Thanks

No, this sounds more like a cold than anything else.

When you become older and wiser you will realize that HIV is harmless, and doesn't cause AIDS. In fact, it doesn't cause anything according to Peter Duesberg, who is the worlds leading virologist.

And just for the record, most "AIDS" patients die from liver failure, which is not even a symptom of AIDS. In fact, liver failure is caused by AIDS drugs.
