Oral (Fear of testing)
Hi there.
I received a bj from a girl HIV+ 10 weeks ago (about 3 minutes), i'm going testing soon because i can't wait anymore (so much anxiety)... Also, note that this girl told me she is low viral load and on meds, and that i'm safe on HIV related, some experts say there's no risk at all (some not) all this made me think a lot about it, and i learned A LOT about hiv.I didn't have any symptoms (at least, i didn't notice them... maybe a bit weak, but i'm sure that's from depression ).Still can't put my fears to sleep yet, so i decided to test. I have a few questions:
1- I know there could be some risk, but why people says 1/10000, or 1/20000? I guess there should be "something" specific to make that 1.
2- What's the posibility of a "false positive", and why that happens? (I am terrified of getting a false-positive)
Thank you, and sorry for my English.
