Hello Doctor,
I would like to brief you with my ugly exposure over the past 5 months.
I got into a bad circle and visited prostitute centres 3 times in 5 months.
1. 28 Jan -2011
2.12 march -2011
On both these occassions, I received oral sex (blow job) from the sex worker without condom , but I had protected sex with condom. However, I did not ejaculate inside her on both these occassions.
I developed some rashes (itching on my grions after 1st exposure) and underwent medication from a dermatologist. The itching and rashes are gone now. My health has been normal apart from this itching episode.
Out of fear I went for HIV tests , p24 antigen test and HIV I &II antibody test (combo test) ,on 18th march ,1st april and lastly on 22nd april -2011.
22nd april-2011 was 11th week(Nearly 3 months) after 1st exposure and 5th week after 2nd exposure.
On all the 3 occassions, the test results were NEGATIVE.
Recently out of madness again, I visited the prostitute centre on 14th may -2011. This time I received protected oral sex(with condom) and just penetrated partially in her vagina with condom. Both these acts were with condom.
I didnot ejaculate inside her this time as well .
But i observed 2 minute scratches on my hand . These scratches may be from her nails though I am not sure about it.
Both the scratches are 1-2 mm wide (less than 0.1 cm wide) just like pores and there was no bleeding/visible blood coming out from these very small scratches. (only a slight tear of skin).
The new skin has also developed now.
I have read that nail scratches from a infected person do not spread HIV. (although i am assuming the worst case scenario that the nails might contain body fluid, again this is my assumption though not sure about it)
My question is , Since I was tested NEGATIVE till now and after my last exposure (on 14th may -2011) which involved protected ORAL sex and protected penetration,
1. Do I need to go for another test (antigen and antibody test) 4 weeks after the last exposure which involved protected ORAL sex and protected penetration,
??
2. Can scratches from a nail of infected person spread HIV in any way ???
3. Can receiving unprotected oral sex spread HIV ??
Please respond.
I am very shamefull over my last incidents and have a huge regret for what I have done. I promise to myself that i will not be involved in thses activities any more.
