Hopefully No risk, 37 weeks pregnant and worried :(

Hi

I've tried looking for similar circumstances on the net but finding it hard, wondering if any of you wonderful people could advice.

I borrowed my sisters swimsuit recently, and didn't think til afterwards that I know her HIV status is questionable (has never tested (we live in UK) but numerous partners with no protection used as she was fitted with coil for contraception).

I know HIV isn't ordinarily transmitted by clothes, however I'm just worried that

1) she could have unknowingly leaked vaginal secretions/menstrual blood onto the item.

2) I tried the item on without underwear either (to make sure it fit) and at the time did have small cuts in that area (from shaving bikini line) and a small sore on my outer labia (I went on to develop thrush the following week, which is at which point I started to worry she could have passed anything on.

There would have been a gap of around 6 hours from when she passed it to me and I tried it on if that makes any difference?

I think my pregnancy is fuelling any paranoia, but if I need to get tested I need to do it quick so that any preventative measures to stop me passing anything on to my baby can be taken.

This was 8 weeks ago by the way - so is this too soon to test if needed??

Many thanks for any responses

i agree with this thought....
you cannot get hiv in the manner you discribe,
hiv needs a controlled enviorment to survive
it will die quickly with contact with air.
you most likely are ok.
if you do have any doubts
go get tested
good luck

Thrush is normal while pregnant, almost any yeast infection is normal while youre pregnant/.
