Posts like yours are proof that we need better and more thorough sex education.
I'm going to assume that you're American, but even if you're not, you need to grab a book and educate yourself, fast. That last line is insulting, even if it comes from a place of fear and hypochondria.

I have never encountered milk in a can.
Had I noticed red stuff in my drink after opening a can, I would have returned the drink.
HIV takes many, many weeks - even months - to develop sufficiently to impact negatively upon a host's health, and well being. HIV is a virus transmitted by blood, to blood contact.
The neurotic personality might well create the symptoms described by the OP.

As has already been said, the virus dies outside the body. In addition, an HIV test is worthless until about 3 months after suspected transmission - as your body most probably won't have created enough antibodies to show as positive.
I would highly recommend you visit the Avert website and get educated whilst waiting for a doctor's appointment to find the REAL cause of your discomfort.

I know where you're coming from - I used to be as scared as you. Let me repeat what others have said: you do not have HIV. The three biggest ways of getting the virus are unprotected (anal) sex, sharing needles and blood transfusion. You cannot get it from sharing cups or the like.
I want to join the chorus in saying that it's a good idea to educate yourself. Surf to a few websites (the avert one is good), read a book or two, or talk to a doctor. Better yet: talk to someone with HIV. My fear of HIV really started to pass after I'd had a random chat at a bar with a positive guy who'd been living with HIV for over twenty years.
Basically: HIV is not a death sentence. It's not something you would want to have, obviously, but it's not going to kill you. Drug treatments are good nowadays and they can keep HIV pretty much under control.
Feel free to shoot me a private message if you have any questions, or try the excellent Health & Wellbeing forum (with the equally brilliant STD thread).

I think stress is taking a toll on you. Not HIV.
Like many people mentioned, once the virus dies outside the blood. So the blood that you may have drank couldn't possibly give you HIV. (Even if it does have it.)
Just calm down and wait for the test results. Don't stress yourself out much.

Your symptoms sound more like Strep Throat to me.

I totally agree with this. I never got correct or helpful sex education until I started looking it up myself. My parents never gave me the "sex talk" and the most we ever got in school was "this is a penis, this is a vagina". I think most of the reason why I had hypochondria about catching HIV when I became sexually active is because I didn't know enough about sex education.
In most people...there are no symptoms for HIV. That is the reason it can be passed as often as it is because most people are not even aware they have contracted it. That said, it is also not that easy to contract.
There are five ways to contract HIV: sperm, pre-cum, breast milk, vaginal fluids, and blood into blood (usually via needles or you bleeding in the rectum and someone cumming inside your anus). Having blood on a can and going through the mouth has never been found to be a method of transmission. The mouth has acids as does the stomach that prevent the virus from passing from one person to the next. It is a reason oral sex is viewed as safe as it is.
Seeing blood on a can is virtually impossible to contract HIV unless you had a bleeding, open sore in your mouth. The effects of being infected would likely not begin to occur for a time period. Now trenchmouth or some similar virus may be possible but I would agree that it is almost impossible this is HIV.
HIV does not get transmitted via saliva or many other myths.
The thing that I get most frustrated about is guys who say they are "clean" yet have never been tested. HIV is still at epidemic proportions in this country; most people are ignorant that they are carrying HIV; and some have a belief that there is either a cure for HIV/AIDS or that one is around the corner.
Much has been done but there is still no magic cure. However, life with HIV has been made sooooo much more tolerable in even the five years I have been out. My first boyfriend was HIV +. We could not have unprotected sex and I began to get tested every quarter of the year (as well as to begin volunteering at HRC and for Whitman-Walker Men's Clinic). Rick used to take 8 pills a day to keep his blood counts in proper ranges plus had to regularly go for check-ups. Today the drugs are much "friendlier" to the body and do not tear people up as they used to. Many guys are almost as "clean" with HIV as those without but we should still cover the stump before we hump.

You have to relax. Likewise others told you, it's very unlikely you have HIV.
First, you don't even know what the red substance is and even if it's blood, you don't know if it were tinkled with HIV.
Second, your symptoms reflect a very large spectrum of infectious diseases which are not HIV OR it could be psychosomatic (psychiatric conditions which manifest as physical ailments) due to your excessive fear. I strongly suggest you consult your GP or any doctors in case it's another disease.
And third, yes, you need to see a psychiatrist. Seems you have neurotic/stress-related conditions. Or you could have hypochondriasis. Have you been always worried of stuff before this happens?

Milk in the can..is that a euphemism for cum in the ass?
LOL! Actually "milk in a can" is the mainstay packaging for dairy products (single serve) in Asia. In Europe they use aseptic packaging (drink boxes) for dairy.
So why haven't you had an HIV test then?
Even if it was blood (highly unlikely), and even HIV infected blood (ridiculously near impossible), and then went on to contract HIV through the gut (which is virtually unheard of) you are now at a 1 in a billion chance. You have a better chance of being struck by lightening more than three times.
However my guess is if you get the test, and it will be negative, you'll move on to a similarly dire self-diagnosis of what else must ail you instead then. Please get help.

Have you actually bothered to read any of the advice offered here?
You do NOT have HIV!
Go to a doctor!

An HIV test takes 20 minutes. You can either do a swab of the mouth/gums or have your finger pricked but the results are almost immediately available.
The chances that you would have contracted HIV from a miniscule amount of blood on the outside of a can are probably less likely than being hit by lightning multiple times; matter of fact you'd be the first case in 30 years of HIV/AIDS. Second, the symptoms are not immediate; that's how the disease spreads.
You need to see a physician and then some other professional to deal with your fears.

Get yourself to a doctor...NOW!
It's very possible that. rather than HIV (which is IMPOSSIBLE under the circumstances, and has never been known to occur under these circumstances anytime in world history), you were poisoned.
There are plenty of things which can make a person's immunity go awry, and HIV is only one of many.

This.
You are getting yourself worked up for nothing. It isn't HIV but may be something else. Anything that coincides with the symptoms of HIV is a coincidence unless you previously contracted it.(before this ''incident'' if you wanna call it that...)
I would have gotten an HIV test, just to be completely sure.. I think it's the only thing that could comfort you in this case.
Also, I would listen to the other posters here, go to a doctor ASAP! It's probably not HIV, but it could be something else.. you should definitely take a blood sample so they can find out what is wrong with you.
Last but not least, relax, don't be too freaked out! It's probably nothing to worry about, but it's important to get it checked out, especially if it bothers you as much as it seems like it is. Good luck!
