2. Iam having the habit of checking the door locks repeatedly whether properly locked or not.
3.Iam having the habit of checking covers repeatedly before they get mailed.
4.Now my age is 43 years.
Now by any chance if I see a person who is having wound and stands besides me around one feet distance I feel that that person may be infected with hiv, if that wound material come in contact with me i may get hiv-these type of thoughts are keeping my mood in worst situation .please help me.
