what was your risk

by StupidIdiot498, Jan 10, 2008 12:02PM
Unprotected oral receiving 15-20 seconds

by Teak, Jan 10, 2008 12:03PM
You didn't have a risk and you don't need testing.

by Pecha1230, Jan 10, 2008 12:04PM
Yup, teak is right, there was no risk

by StupidIdiot498, Jan 10, 2008 12:09PM
I'm still going to test up to 3 months. Some people say there is a miniscule chance. The odds are the girl is negative but I need 100% confirmation not 99.99% etc.

by Pecha1230, Jan 10, 2008 12:10PM
Dude, you dont need to test at all,

If HIV is possible to catch through oral is it blood transmitted rather than through spit?

by alienshadow, Jan 10, 2008 12:18PM
listen you have no risk

by Pecha1230, Jan 10, 2008 12:18PM
HIV is not really possible from oral sex, in all the years of the disease there has never been a proven case of someone becoming infected from oral sex and im sure there has been some nasty oral sex with a positive and a negative person before, yet, still no one has ever become infected. So why do you think that you are infected from a 15-20 second bj

by StupidIdiot498, Jan 10, 2008 12:22PM
I expect it must be possible if you stabbed someone's tongue and directed the blood down your penis?

by alienshadow, Jan 10, 2008 12:30PM
look are you stupid because you have this phobia when you dont have arisk

by StupidIdiot498, Jan 10, 2008 12:36PM
Yes I am stupid I think the risk I took proves that.

by alienshadow, Jan 10, 2008 12:37PM
well you didnrt have a risk

by Wear/a/Jimmy, Jan 10, 2008 12:49PM
Folks do you think that people believe oral to be a risk due in part, because there are oral swab tests for HIV?

Point is, if you can have someone swab around your gums to gather a sample for a HIV test, one could logically feel/believe/construe that oral would pose a risk.

Just a thought.

Regardless, seems to me the research and the many physicians out there state that oral is essentially no risk (for HIV)

by Pecha1230, Jan 10, 2008 12:53PM
No because the oral swap test is not looking for HIV in the mouth itself but its looking for proteins that hiv would produce in the mouth i do believe

by Wear/a/Jimmy, Jan 10, 2008 01:26PM
Ok lets say you are correct, but do you think the general public know the science behind that?

Seems to me they do not, in fact your post indicate you yourself are not too sure about the science behind the process. Not that this is bad, I am just saying because there is a lack of understanding by the public regarding the test, it would be easy for a lot of folks to think that one could contract HIV via oral exposure, via saliva, bites etc.

Just a thought, not a debate.

Back in the days of my youth, I never even considered oral as a risk, never even considered unprotected sex as a risk either!

Saliva doesnt transmitt HIV so unless the person was dracula and had blood dripping from there mouth then there cant be a realisitc risk. Do you think that you can get HIV from kissing, If no (which i hope you know you cant), BJ's are just like kissing in a sense but with just some sucking. Ha ha ha

by negative_777, Jan 11, 2008 01:57AM
perform oral sex just single time is no risk...

by troggs, Jan 11, 2008 04:35AM
To: all present
To answer, most infected will test hiv + at between 22- 25 days, the other majority at the 6 - 8 week marks, and 99% have seroconverted by the time 12 weeks (84 days) has passed.

by Teak, Jan 11, 2008 04:39AM
Receiving oral sex is NOT a risk and don't need testing.

Receiving oral a very low risk for hiv, there are no confirmed cases of transmission because of other risk factors. Basically it's an unknown theoretical risk, but i personally would test the theory out on my person. Unprotected oral is a risk for other stds such as syphilis, gonorhrea, herpes, ect...no unprotected sex act is all together without risk.
