Actually i had a small cut on the upper part of my hand and was exposed to fresh blood of a lady sitting next to me in a flight. after few days i felt some pain in my lower abdomen and also joint pain in legs little bit. also a sore throat and when i checked on Google its symptoms matches with that of HIV. Is it possible that i can get HIV with this.

according to the CDC, if a person is stuck by a needle with HIV-positive fluid on it, approximately 2.3 out of 1,000 individuals, if untreated, will become infected with HIV. So, the odds of being infected with HIV from a needlestick injury are less than one percent
HIV is still mainly concentrated at specific groups unlikely to be travelling with you on an airplane. Chances of lady to be suffering from HIV is very very minimal.
Even if she has, chances of the amount of blood incontact in significant amount is also very very rare.
Even if these odds are there ( which now would be an astronomical number), u getting Hiv is even almost nil.
So relax and show doctor for bad stomach/viral illness. U will not get HIV . n last google ain't no doctor. N symptoms u mentioned, are very common n not specific of HIV infection. So take chill pill :)
