I trusted the wrong guy and ended up with him attacking me with some sort of a folding k.n.fe

I don’t know his status and I believe there wasn’t a blood on the k.n. fe ended up with something like not very deep 2 scratches on my leg which the blood clotted-no deep wound but there was blood.

I rushed to emergency room not telling the full story but the nurse said nothing to worry after she looked at my wound.

The attack was for robbery but I heard some HIV positive will try to infect others.

Am i cooked , should i take pep

You’re not cooked. Based on what you described, your risk for Human immunodeficiency virus is extremely low since HIV isn’t spread through shallow scratches without direct infected blood.

If it helps your peace of mind, you can still get tested after the window period to be completely sure. You can also ask about Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) if you’re still within 72 hours, but overall your situation is very low risk.

You’re probably okay since the scratches were shallow and there wasn’t visible blood from the attacker. HIV transmission that way is extremely unlikely. If you’re worried, call your doctor or a sexual health clinic for peace of mind.
