You don't have an HIV concern, you've never had an exposure.

If you had a negative test 3 months after exposure you dont have HIV.

Hi,

I wanted to have sexual intercourse(which I feel very bad now) and I got the contact of a girl who claims that she is not a prostitute.But I feel she is a prostitute.Later I started having sex with that girl.I had unprotected oral.I rolled my mouth over her labia.No licking and all and then I did fingering to her.I donot have any cuts in my mouth.Then she compelled me to have one vaginal intercourse.It was protected and I pulled out of her vagina in less than 30 secs.What are the chances me contracting any disease.I donot know about her status.

Hello everyone

I am a gay man, 32 years old. I came out one year ago, and since then i had some form of sex with 17 men... I just wanted to explore my sexuality, but now i am worried i may have got HIV.

I had kissing/oral sex with most of these guys, and with 7 of them I had full sex, 3 times i was bottom or versatile. When I was bottom i always used condoms. When I was top, twice happened that the guy wanted rough sex and my **** slipped in their anus for a few seconds before i came out and told them i wanted a condom.

Of the guys i did not have full sex with, a couple of times i had their **** rubbing on the outside of my anus. My anus can bleed very easily. Some time i also did rimming on them.

Now, i have either an oral thrush or a herpes, and flu like symptoms. These symptoms started all of a sudden while i was having sex with the last guy, we did lots of kissing and oral. I was tested for STDs 1 month ago, but all of the full sex acts happened less than 3 months before the test.

When should i get tested again? I am very scared honestly, i and i have to work a lot in this period so this does not help me. I will stop sex and kissing for 3 months to make sure the next text is conclusive.

The only risk you had was unprotected anal sex. You can obtain your conclusive set results 3 months post your last unprotected anal sex.

Thanks Teak

The unprotected anal sex lasted for like 5 seconds or less, the time of realizing i slipped in and then I pulled out. Is this still a risky behavior? The 2 guys said they are HIV negative and were tested, but i don't know if i should trust them.

Still a friend told me there are small chances of catching HIV from kissing, oral and rimming... I feel like i should stop having sex alltogether, it's just not worthy the risk...

Teak

Nov 29, 2011

It's still worth getting checked out, Your friend does not know what he's talking about.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or virginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers
Mother to child

Ok thanks. But what if the mouth/anus/penis have tears and bleed? If the transmission is blood to blood, there is still risk. My gums often bleed, as well as my anus because of very thin skin...

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high. I would say they are effectively zero. How much of his ejaculate or other genital secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference. EWH "
"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow." Dr.Hook

Wow thanks that is very comprehensive. Still, i cannot understand how 5 seconds of unprotected anal sex may be more risky than lots of oral sex and rimming. If i understand, HIV is spread through blood to blood contact, and if there are lesions this can happen with oral sex and rimming very easily. I would say more easily than vaginal sex for example. It seems so confusing to me...

Another option could be of broken condoms, but so far i never witnessed that unless i did not notice...

Saliva contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibit HIV transmission.

I Have an oral thrush, and i came on the guy anus... i trusted my penis on the guy anus while he was spreading it. We did oral and rimming. The guy then did top on me and came on my back.

I am pretty sure I have it, i never had an oral thrush in my life, i have flu symptoms...

whatsmyname2

Nov 30, 2011

I am going to get tested today... I contacted the person I had sex with, he confirmed he is HIV+, he said he is "undetectable" but i do not believe him.

The test I will do they say will give results immediately, I am not sure what test is...

I am so confused, I still cannot believe I put myself in this condition, I feel so empty... please pray for me.

is it consider that putting your *** in one's **** even in less than 7secs unsafe? i never had a bareback exp. and i got a bf. i only having sex for fouor weeks now. but he's not faithful and ******* every guy he likes in the social network for gays. im having some of the symptom of hiv. everytime i look at the mirror, i noticed that the back of tongue is coated with white. its not painful nor itchy. i had sore throat too for almost two weeks now. but when i look in some people i know. our tongue kinda looks the same. and they said my tongue looks ok. one of them even said that maybe im thinking and worrying too much of what my status gonnaa be, that's why symptom is coming up.

hello

I got tested today with antibody test and I am negative, thanks all for the replies.

I will have to go again in January, but i feel much better now. I still have this thrush, flu symptoms and mildly swollen lymph nodes, so I am not totally clear.

I had sex with the HIV positive person on October 27th, I got tested on October 29th and today November 30th. It's about 4 weeks after exposure. I hope the negative result can already be an indication.

i had unprotected anal sex with a guy for a few minutes.

i don't know the guy's HIV status. he told me he was clean, but i have no way of knowing this for sure.

i was the top.

i didn't ejaculate, and i didn't see any blood.

i know i need to get tested, but only in 3 months.

but what are the risks? am i likely to have contracted HIV

Start your own thread.

To: tango1784

I am in Canada, they don't do those, they do antibody tests. My test was INSTI 34 days after the exposure (5 weeks). I will have to go again after 90 days (end of January). I may go again in 2 weeks just to be sure, I read the Insti test is similar to 3rd generation ELISA +8 days in the average window period, which makes it able to detect antibody about 98% of the time after 30 days.

I still think about the event everytime... i still ask myself how an HIV positive person, even he said he is undetectable (which I doubt, but he seemed healthy and stocky), would ask someone who is HIV - to have unprotected sex several times during the act, it's so deceitful. Especially because and HIV+ person who is treated and has protected sex, is less risky than someone who does not know his status and tries unprotected sex. HIV+ persons should ALWAYS stick to protected sex, everything else is a crime.

Overall the two things that still worry me are the few seconds my penis slipped in his anus without a condom before me pulling out, and his semen falling on my back. I know the skin is a powerful barrier, so is the few seconds of unprotected sex that worry me.

I always wonder why anyone would put themselves at risk of contracting HIV in 2011, doesn't make any sense now does it?

whatsmyname2

Dec 01, 2011

To: Teak

I did not know he was HIV+, and I did use a condom after those few seconds.

I assumed if someone knows to be HIV+, he should tell it and not try to have sex without a condom.

Teak

Dec 01, 2011

On please don't try to do the blame game. It's your health and your responsiblity. Had you used a condom, you would not have been at risk.

whatsmyname2

Dec 01, 2011

To: Teak

Yes I was careless, that is for sure. You realized I was at risk then... I hope the next result will be negative as well, I am still scared.

whatsmyname2

Dec 01, 2011

To: Teak

Please Teak tell me, what are my chances of resulting positive after testing negative to INSTI after 5 weeks? I am still scared, it's hard to manage.

Hello again

i keep having some symptoms... swollen lymph nodes, temperature around 36, oral rush...

I read the antobodies start to get produced about 1-2 weeks after the ARS... Is it possible that my test at 5 weeks wasn't able to detect them?

please help...

Teak

Dec 02, 2011

3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test result..

whatsmyname2

Dec 02, 2011

Ok thanks... how big do you think my exposure was? I am so scared

whatsmyname2

Dec 02, 2011

Please i need an answer... I was reading that during ARS, antibody tests are usually negative but viral load tests are positive. I was tested at 5 weeks during symptoms, negative to antobody, but no viral load test. Does this make the negative test less valuable?

It's so confusing
