If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
Hi, I would like some honest and reliableReliable gentle laxative advices from you guys regarding my risk of HIV exposure due to the incidents that I will talk about below. I also apologize because I posted this for the third times, however this time is the most details account so far.
2) Third week of June and first week of July, I went to get a massage at two different places, and on each occasion I received unprotected oral from the massage therapists (assuming sex workers), and it last for about 10 min. and 3 min.
3) Third week of July about 8/July - 14/ July, I went to get a massage for a week straight, and I also received unprotected oral from the a single massage therapist for that week straight. I also exploded in her mouth, however on the last day which I received unprotected oral from the therapist, I told her to brush. Later I realized that brushing can cause her mouth to bleeds, and that scared me because I don’t know whether her mouth was bleeding when she blowed me or not. (Noted* she BJ me for about 10 min. each time before I exploded in her mouth).
4) Also in that third week of July, during the massage with the therapist that I mentioned above (#3). At one point during the foot massage, she accidentally broke a wound on index toe, on the right foot. That wound I had was about a pea size, and it happened two days earlier due to skating. Thus, once she broke the wound, it bleeds, and some of my blood got on her finger and on the massage bed’s sheet, and this scared me like hell. (Noted: my blood did not comes into contact with any part of her body or her body fluids, except her fingers and the bed’s sheet). So I wonder how much risk was for me during such an exposure? Let’s assuming that she got a cut on the exact finger that broke my wound or can the virus goes from the bed sheet into my blood?.
All those incidents above happened in Vietnam this year, and since my last potential exposure, which as July 14, 2007 I don’t have any kinds of symptoms related to STDs diseases, not a single symptom. I don’t have fever, fatigue, penile drip, diarrhea, rash, etc. However, at about mid or third week of June I had runny nose that last for almost two weeks, and tired for a couple days right after I got back to the U.S.
I even talked to my family doctor back in the United States about it, and she told me that my risk was low, and she didn’t see any symptoms on my body. Thus, she told me not to worry to much about it, yet, those incidents still hang around in my head, so I would like to hear some advices
Your doctor should have told you your risk was zero. There is no chance you could get HIV from any of the exposures you describe. You don't need testing but do it if it will make you feel better. The result will be negative.
Adding to incident # 1) I remember during that hand job the therapist gave me, her thumb also done some scratching on the head of my penis. On the next morning when I go pee right after I woke up, I noticed there was swollen on the head of my penis, but no bleeding or discharge of any kinds, and it was hurt when I pee and when I try to touch it. However after I went to a beach and swam for most of the day, the swollen on the head of my penis had gone away at the evening of the same day.
Addition to # 3 above) during the first night of that week, when i try to kiss the girl, but accidentally our mouth comes to contact at fast speed and our teeth hit against each other and it kind hurts for a few seconds, so I wonder the chances of her lips got bleed from that? because she gave me a head like right after that.
