PRE CUM AND PIERCINGS 2

[jbherr]

SORRY I POSTED TWICE BEFORE FINSIHING....NEW TO THIS

Here's my experience:

I'm a male and had an encounter with another male. He says he was negative but cant be sure. We kissed, had protected anal sex (condom), oral -- he went down on me and i gave him oral sex...but did not insert his penis. Licked the shaft and the sides. He did not ejaculate...but before I went down on him, while we were making out I noticed pre *** -- but cant remember any that may have dripped onto his shaft when I was there. He also had pierced nipple which I sucked. And he rubbed his penis on my anus --NO PENETRATION

Didn't think much of it. Went to the doctor for regular check up and they found elevated liver enzymes. I freaked. He assured me it wasn't HIV...so I calmed down.  But I still went to get an HIV test. It was negative -- THIS IS 4 WEEKS AFTER THAT POSSIBLE EXPOSURE..


I had  a biopsy for the liver enzymes. That procdure turned out fine and they didnt find anything wrong. A few days later...where they stuck the needle in for the biopsy ...i developed a rash. Itchy, red bumpy...kind of in a circular patter around that area, but it radiated to one side and then in a line down my stomach. That lasted for 4 days. The doctor said it must have been an allergic reaction.  But i freaked out!!! My mind wandered back to HIV. After the rash went away...i developed arm aches..my forearms were aching. That went on for two days when it was jpoined by a really bad headache!! Painful...that and the arm aches lasted for three days! I'm totally freaking out at this point. The headaches lightened but the arnm aches continued and so did the headaches but just not as painful and not as consistent. The arm aches over the next several days migrated to my shoulders, then to my elbow, then wrists. This all lasted for about 2 weeks consistently. Throughout this time, did not have a fever -- or not one I felt,. Didnt feel sick but I did not take temperature. No sore throat, no fatugue. I did have a few days when I had diahreea-- but now all day. Just when I went in the morning, I was a diarrhea-ish.. but just then. Not running to bathroom all day. I woke upa  couple of nights sweaty..and I did lose weight..but I think that was because I was so stressed out I wasn;t eating well. I would be crying and stressed and didnt eat breakfast or lunch for like four days.

I went back to have an HIV test at 8 weeks post Exposure and was NEGATIVE...the aches had just started to subside.

I know my experience was low risk and I know Dr. HHH says 8 weeks is conclusive, but what if this was ARS and i am one of the fe w late people and since my ARS was subsiding just as I took the 8 week test, could I possibly not have hadHIV antibodies even though I have had symptoms for at least two weeks.

Also what is the risk od sucking on his pierced nipples? Could that have had something to do with it? Or him rubbing his penis on my anus if it had pre-***?

Like I said in my posting, I didn't think anything of the encounter at first. I wasnt worried. It wasn't a concern until I developed a rash on my stomach and then spent two weeks with a pounding headache and pain in my arms and joints -also for more than two weeks.

Surely you can understand how i might be concerned that something may have happened...since that was my only exposure. I've never had a headache and arm aches that wouldnt go away for weeks.

You were never at risk to begin with. You can suck on pierced nipples all you like. For someone that is gay and doesn't know how HIV is transmitted in 2007 is beyond me.
