If your anxiety and/or depression is affecting you this way, you may want to speak with your doctor or a mental health professional.You would NOT have contracted HIV over this episode.

Thank for reply.My anxiety is consuming now more than ever.I never felt so down before like I am now.I cant imagine being positive.
I will concur with the other Moderators who have addressed your concerns. You had Zero risk from fingering(regardless of any cuts, abrasions etc.) the woman. If you engaged in Protected vaginal/anal sex and your condom did NOT fail, you were NOT at risk of contracting HIV over this encounter.
Its been 5 weeks since day 1 of my ordeal.This morning I got tested with high hopes but my hope turn to much more anxiety.the medtech in the clinic got my blood and put it in a test tub Ive asked why i came here for a rapid test.And replied yes they will perform a rapid test but I have to wait 2 weeks.They said that the health department had change the process of HIV testing to lessen the anxiety of those who will be false positive so all result will be on 2 weeks time.This things are killing me.Only in the Philippines.
Thanks for your reply.I have been reading almost 100 threads a day which has doctors advices which is similar to my exposure.No risk,very low risk to worry about,even doesnt need testing.It seems Im not at risk but still anxiety over comes.
hi macxmak ! hang on there .... we are in the similar situation , im still waiting for my 3 months window period . Hopefully were going to be okay ,so we can moved on with our lives . God Bless
Hi thanks for your re assurance.To tell you support groups for HIV here in the Philippines are not so helpful.Ive spoken with a doctor who is a part of the HIV support group and she told me that I am at risk and she already know people having HIV thru oral sex.And even told me to wait 3 months for the test.Then Ive asked a friend of mine who to ask his brother which is a doctor in one of good hospital here in the Philippines about my encounter.Well it was nice to hear, they told me I should not worry about it.Ive asked another HIV support group with my concern told me its not that easy to get HIV.They even gave me a rapid test at 8 days maybe just to calm me.The test was a regular rapid finger ***** which was from UN-AIDS global fund.Thats the only test available here western blot is just for confirmatory.Im planning to have another test maybe after 4 or 5 week of my exposure.I have been reading alot here it makes me think better when reading replies of the doctors at hiv prevetion.I hope I will not have HIV.
if you are having health concerns...see your dr...its NOT hiv related.
sorry about the typo $ is 4th.Thanks
I was wrong $ weeks will be on Nov 8 not not Nov 4.After reading alot here in this web site may be I can wait till my 5th week I hope I can.It would be on Nov 15th.Every thing that Ive read tels me that Im not at risk and even doesnt need testing.But still I not that confident after reading other sites like the body.
Okay I know how scary it is ! I was going through this myself! Everyone told me no risk BUT your mind likes to scare you into what If's! Stress will give you symptoms like you can't believe. All I can see is talk to people who will listen and not judge! You can message me on here I am willing to listen. Peace
