Dr. Jose - reassuring please....
Dr. Jose, good morning. It’s me again, Pedro.
I’m really sorry to coming back to you again with the same question you’ve already replied to me. However, I’m still a bit nervous (actually, I scared!) about the encounter I had 18 days ago.
When you say to me I do not need any testing or need to be worried about what happened to me it means that I did not have any risk at all of getting infected? As I said, I am a married man and not testing can implies a lot of things….
I do understand that fingering without a condom and having been penetrated by a vibrator covered by a condom are both very low risk situations. The only meaningful risk situation I would have would be if the girl had large amounts of blood streaming out from an open wound.
But in that situation, blood streaming out from an open wound would be something visible to me? I meant, it would be possible to me to see such amount of blood pouring out from her finger? It would be something like someone cutting his finger with a piece of glass or a knife where blood will be pouring out?
Also, for the penetration process she used oil to lubrificate my anus. It would be possible having any infected fluid mixed with the oil capable to infect me?
I can remember she handling the condom, the vibrator, even touching myself but I cannot remember any sign of blood at all. After she fixed the belt over her waste and vibrator on it too I did not notice any bleeding process nor blood from her fingers. When the penetration over, I looked at the vibrator and there were no blood there either. I just notice my bleeding around 25 mins later at home.
It has been 18 days since then and everyday I take my temperature every hour to see if I have any fever. Besides that, I am always looking to my body looking for any rash, redness, etc…
I am trying to rationalize that but it’s been too difficult. Could you please reassure me with your opinion about what I went through?
Best regards,
Pedro

Is there any significant difference on doing the HIV DUO (HIV I + HIV II + p24) at 27th days post exposure day instead of 28th post exposure day? Of course difference related to the accuracy and reliability of the results....Thanks, Pedro
Well, all I can say is that anxiety really gets in the way of daily living. I would suggest in find a therapist to talk to or a support group that can help. Everyone is human and we all make mistakes some big some small. It going to be up to you to decide what you want to do, test out to 3 months. Really there is something else that is bothering you maybe it was the type of sexual encounter, is it feeling guilty or shame? Me its guilt and shame, disappointment that I let down the one's I truly love so I punish my self and worry thinking about the what ifs this is no way to go through life is it. Follow the doctor advise and find some support.

Hi there. Well I know what you are talking about the "what if-ings?" that is easy to do with anxiety, see you your mind is bullying you into these thoughts. I would say that its time to find a therapist to talk about your worries and help find a ways to help you to figure things out. There is some underlying issues that you need to work through that is driving this fear and I can tell you from experience.
next monday.
When will you get the results?
