Negative at 3 months time
Hi
I had protected sex with HIV infected partner on 17th April 2010.
I have used double condom(as she is a prostitue) during the sexual intercourse with her.i didnt touched or kissed any part of her body.I ran off after 6 mins of sexual intercourse.I didnt have the orgasm during that sexual intercourse because i ran off after 6 mins bcos i realised i am doing a mistake.she then kissed my lips with her lips and said thanks before i left.I rubbed my lips to my shirt immediately after that .We didnt lick each other lips its just she touched her lips with my lips.
After 8 weeks i was tested negative for HIV with HIV Rapid test.
Again on 17th July 2010(that is today) i have attended ELISA (HIV 1 & 2) tests.And the results says 0.175( less than .422 negative and greaterthan .422 Positive).I had this ELISA test conducted at a good lab.When i visited the Urologist he said its negative only.
Is this test enough to confirm i am not infected ? I think its conducted at 3 months time exactly.
Does that kiss has anything to do ?
Why would some people say 6 months to confirm.?
Thanks in advance.

The best thing is to relax.
If you were worried about catching anything (and virtually everything else, such as syphillis, ghonorea, chlamydia, Hep A & B are much *easier* to catch than HIV) you should have had a *full* sexual health screening at a reputable STI Clinic anytime from about 5-30 days after that encounter with the prostitute.
PLEASE remember that HIV is actually very difficult to transmit either way, whereas common old STIs are *not* and they can get u into just as bad emotional/relationship problems.
So don't fixate on HIV at the expense of other STIs.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, you are right i am having serious fear of HIV infection.Because that was the first time i went to a prostitute or had sex.
The reason i am worried more is i am getting engaged with my gf in 20 days and got this white tongue and dry throat now.
I am sorry if i have caused excessive posting here.Just gaining confidence from your post above.
Thanks again.

You sound to me a little paranoid catchbeau and I genuinely suspect that is what has causxed your dizziness.
A serious fear of HIV infection (which is very clearly what you had and still seem to have) will play absolute *havoc* with your general feeeling of wellbeing.
I assume you are living in some country (like the USA or France or Germany) where your health care is funded on an insurance basis.
In that case you are unlucky, because your chances of being seen by a General Medical Practioner whose sole concern is to treat you on the basis of your *real* health issues - on the basis of *evidence* only.
Hypertension is virtually always symptomless unless it is *persistently* very high (over more than 6 months) and your Physician should know if that is the case already.
Your symptoms - coinciding with having sex with a prostitute - are classic anxiety based.
You may well have high blood pressure. So buy a $15 portable BP Monitor and monitor it yourself on an empty stomach in the mornings.
Now some *facts* about HIV transmission:
If neither *you* nor the prostitute are in any of the following small number of high risk groups (ie Man who has sex with multiple male partners with insertive or receptive anal sex without always using condoms & lube, . and/or a frequent user of Class A recreational chemical drugs - Coke, Methamphetatime/Crystal meth, MDMA, Ketamine, and/or amyl nitrate (poppers), and/or intravenous drug use of Heroin or any other class A drug, or any other drug/alchohol/para sexual behaviour that is highly immuno suppressive, eg multiple infections with Sexual Transmitted Infections and antibiotic use), then even if you had had unprotected insertive sexual intercourse with the prostitute the chances of you becoming HIV anti-body positive from here , or her from you, would be *extremely* unlikely.
In the 26 years since the islolation of HIV literally *nothing* has changed in the verifiable nature of how the virus spreads. 94% of *all* cases of HIV transmission still happen within the same risk groups.
See the 'Padian Study' on the (lack) of infection ('seroconversion') in long term sero discordant couples (ie I partner HIV+ and 1 Partner HIV-) over 10 years:

Ok.I will check with NeuroSureon and ENT for giddiness and White Tongue respectively.
first off...you had condom protected sex and were never at risk
secondly...you tested and have a CONCLUSIVE test result
if you are having health concerns...see your doctor. it's not hiv related and therefore not a concern of this forum.
kindly move on

Does this B12 has any affect in giving negative result since i had it is last 5days before the test ?
Thanks Chirag and Teak.
I have one final question.
I am having giddiness from last 30 days.
as said above 3 months back i had sex with a prostitute.at 3 months time that is last saturday i was tested negative.
When asked doctor he said that B12 is 284 which is low .He asked me to take 5 B12 injections for 5 days and then one injection every week after that till another 30days.
After 5 days of 5 injections i felt more dizziness.I have White tongue and dry throat.***
I couldn't figure out what has caused this.Everything else is fine with me.Doctor suspects that it must be due to hypertension.
I had brain scanning and done and it was also fine.
BP is ok.no Spondylitis.no fever.
could anyone help me with this.

1) conclusive
2)kissing is Zero risk
3)This is in case of
a)chemotherapy,
b)taking anti-rejection drugs following an organ transplant,
or are CHRONIC, long term iv drug abusers and
c)severe auto immune disorders .
CDC guidelines says window period is 6months..which is conservative according to the experts themselves.If a person doesn't fall in categories- a) ,b) ,c) I have mentioned then 3 months is conclusive.
In your case you were never at risk.Testing was not required.
Always use condom and never share needles.

Thanks for your answer.
My condom didn't broke..
Can anyone answer the following also :
Does this 3 month test conclusive ?
Does that kiss has anything to do ?
Why would some people say 6 months to confirm.?

Never double the condoms.It actually increases the risk of condom failure i.e breakage.Assuming that your condoms didn't break during the exposure you are not at risk.Even if your partner is HIV+ .HIV can't penetrate through condoms.You look effected much by your guilt of having sex with a CSW..

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
