Taste of blood in food

[Kitkate123]

Hi,
firstly I want to put out that I have anxiety and I’m awaiting to get help so please just be respectful and kind.

i bought a shop made sandwich which was spicy. Just before finishing it I stopped to have a drink but noticed I could taste blood. I’m really anxious about it and scared that there was human blood in the food. And due to my anxiety I’m thinking the worse about catching hiv etc through it.
i know that’s extreme hence why im waiting to get help but can anyone tell me whether this is possible or reassure me that it’s not.

again please be kind im new to this sort of stuff

thank you

You asked if this is possible. You need to think possible versus probable. Almost anything is possible but the odds of anything happening are very low. So highly unlikely. Focus on this.

No risk of HIV whatsoever. The virus degrades as soon as it’s outside the human body (unless in a vacuum like when donating blood or injecting equipment). There are also enzymes in saliva that are hostile to HIV.
