Gon, Syphillis and Chlamydia will all, I believe, show up in a blood test more quickly than HIV. Hmmm, as I think about this, I may be wrong about that. Sorry, I am out of practice as I have not posted here in a while.
Having said that, most doctors, based upon anecdotal evidence and direct observation, will just go ahead and prescribe a Z-pack or some other antibiotic (cocktail?) if you are worried about a curable STD, or the doctor is worried about an STD. In other words, say you go to your doctor with a slight burning sensation in your penis. The doctor may, and this is likely, take a sample and send it off, and, before the results are even known, prescribe an antibiotic. Meaning, of course, that, assuming you start taking it, the infection, whatever it is, is being taken care of even before the test results get back.
So, and this is the point, rather than wait for some time in the future when a possible infection may show up on a test result, why not go and talk to your doctor now?
As for your other question, I agree with the many knowledgeable posters who posted before me: no chance of HIV.
Take care!
Thank you all so much.. I feel a lot better. I haven't developed any real symptoms for other stds but i'm still going to get tested for them. do other stds (gon, syph, chlam) show up in a blood test faster than HIV would ie. after a week or something?
MOVE ON. He did not have a risk.
Hi Daniel,
Oral sex is still a low risk but a risk......
Go for a 6 weeks test or 12 weeks for conclusive.
Teak/Lizzie.....come on you guys, a risk is still a risk....
Good luck Daniel,
FWK
in your case...since there was no risk...YOUR 4 week test IS conclusive.
do you think a 4 week test will be conclusive?
I'm just very very paranoia about this and am dreading waiting so long for testing!
No risk of contracting HIV.
