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 "
hiv EIA 1 & 2 (52days) post exposure - negative
-is this results conclusive???
hsv 1 & 2 igG (52days) post exposure- negative
- but according to my dermatologist its a herpes type 2 lesion
-but now he says the virus aborted because no antibody detected. is it possible???
should i go for any further testing???
thanks
Your still not getting what was told to you. If you had no risk now can you have symptoms?
And no those have nothing to do with HIV symptoms.
thanks
because im currently living in malaysia, i have symptoms like sinus, prickly heat rash, dry lips for nearly 3 weeks now. i wonder does it relates back to acute hiv symptoms
What does no risk mean to you?
thanks vance,
then do you think my HIV ELISA 1&2 test in pretty sure on the 17th day??
or i should go for another testing. as for now its been 46days from post exposure.
thanks
Herpes is transmitted by skin to skin contact. So you can get it even with the use of a condom.
You had no HIV risk.
thx getitright,
but honestly, i do wonder how did i contracted my herpes when im using a condom, unless there is a little hole in it for the virus to enter me. as they say, the 1st lession is usually where the virus enters the body, which is situated near my pennis head.
so im really dead worried now for HIV as i guess ive taken the HIV elisa test too early..juz 17days post exposure...please enlight me
thanks
You had no risk and your condom had no holes or it would have been clearly obvious.The unprotected oral sex was zero risk also.You do not require any futher testing for hiv.Your safe.All the best.
