Hiv fear

82 days ago I went to zurich for business. During my trip I went to a brothel those that charge 300 euros an hour.
I got protected oral from a Latin girl. Just after that I noticed that I had an open bleeding sore on my groin just next to my nuts. I also noticed that the area where the wound is was full of saliva from her mouth.
I tested using determine hiv 1/2 kit after 4 weeks. Acon rapid hiv test at 6 weeks 8 weeks and 10 weeks. At 11 weeks I did a second generation ELiSA hiv test those that only look for IGg and not IGm they also tested using determine rapid test on the same day. All my tests are negative. I am now waiting for my 83 days to take another elisa and determine. How reliable are these results and how high was my exposure during that encounter.
Thanks for anyone who can reply.

Hi Anxiety1976,

It sounds to me like you didn't contract it. I am by no means a qualified medical professional in a position to give you a diagnosis, but I know how bothersome the mind is. After a needle stick incident a few years ago I too was anxiously awaiting the regular and of course the final check up to know for sure that I hadn't contracted HIV.
According to the Center for Disease Control ( http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/transmission.htm) "Only specific fluids (blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and breast milk) from an HIV-infected person can transmit HIV. ". I have not heard that HIV can be transmitted by saliva. Combined with your negative results, I would guess that you probably can fairly safely assume that you didn't contract it, unless your groin came in contact with any of the body fluids listed by the CDC. Of course the best person to answer your questions is your doctor and he probably can't tell for sure until you have your final check up. In any case I wish you some inner peace until that day comes.
