hiv test
hi doctors
hello am 24 years old man living in europe in actually a country with low rate of hiv positive number of persons.
my problem is that about two months ago i received one unprotected fellatio from a person of unknown hiv status,after that i pushed my self very very very nervous, and i asked the person about there hiv status and told me that it was negative i was relaxed for some days and then i was very nervous again so much that i was sure that i was having hiv so i decided to ask a doctor here in my country, and told me that am not in a danger by this exposure,so the same happened and after two days i was nervous again so i went to a lab and i tested myself, because it was to early actually at 11 days after the exposure the person there suggested me to do an hiv dna test the results that came back were negative for hiv and also another window that it was say also normal values negative after that again i was relaxed for some days and then nervous again when i went to the doctor again to ask him to do some more test he told me that i have mental problem and instead of another test and again the same situation i should see a mental doctor. what i want now is your opinion doctor because as i said my country had only 170 hiv positive persons and my country's doctors are not in your level, so should i continue with some elisa tests or should i relaxed and i dont have any possibilities that i have get hiv from one fellatio and after that i have received one false negative result?

yes doctor rely thank you rest my mind now 1 in 10000 and a negative test i belive that i should give an end, i just needed an answer by an experienced doctor like you because as i said before i dont think that i can trust the doctors in my country because of the very rare cases that they have seen, now that i can hear that i don't have to worry by you am much more better if it continues i believe that i have to see a doctor for psychological support maybe i have panic attacks .

Welcome to the HIV forum. I'll try to help, but I will also point out that you could have easily found the answers without spending the posting fee, if you had heeded the advice in the important Disclaimer message.
The near-zero risk for HIV from receving oral sex has been discussed innumerable times on this forum. One estimate (from CDC, the US national public health agency) is 1 chance in 10,000, if the oral partner is infected; some experts believe there is no risk at all. Therefore, in view of the rarity of HIV in your country, there is no signficant chance you caught HIV. You do not need HIV testing at all after such an exposure -- except for the psychological support from a negative test result.
In other words, I agree with your doctor's advice about the risk and testing. If he believes your insistence indicates a mental health problem, you should heed his advice about it.
