you are crazy. HIV can enter your blood through infected blood. Why not get a blood test anyways, since it will be the only way you will calm down?

Infected blood needs to enter a break in the skin, & even then, the odds r extremely low. It sounds like u were not bleeding at the time, & if there was no visible blood on the brush, it is about as likely for u to have contacted AIDS/HIV as it would be for an alien to appear behind me right now & tap me on the shoulder. l would not call *anything* impossible, but this one might as well be.
Maybe u should see a psychologist if these feelings of anxiety & paranoia r bothering u so much. It may bring u more relief than a test ever could, since u will likely encounter another situation that makes u anxious all over again.

No, HIV can not enter scabbed skin. Also, once outside the body, exposed to air, HIV only lives for a few minutes. You can not get HIV that way.

You're crazy and do not need another test. Even if the brushes you used had touched someones blood that was HIV+ by the time you used the brushes the HIV would be dead.
The ONLY way you can become infected is to share needles with some one who is HIV+ or have unprotected sex with someone HIV+. So do not worry.
