Oral Question

[Titan52]

I know this question is the most asked. This is my first time on this site. I received oral from a female (csw) with unknown status 24 weeks ago.. I was tested for HIV the following dates:

Week 7 (51 days)- Advanced Oraquick HIV 1/2 Oral Swab- Negative

Week 12 ( 84 days)-  Advanced Oraquick HIV 1/2 Oral Swab- Negative

Week 15 ( 104 days)- 3rd generation HIV 1/2 EIA AB Screen w/ Reflexes- Negative

Week 21 (146 days)-  Advanced Oraquick HIV 1/2 Oral Swab- Negative

The reason I tested this much was the nurse at the clinic told me this was high risk and needed to test. At first she told me 3 months was final, then said 6 months. This has thrown the anxiety levels up. Please advise. Happy Holidays!!

Sorry, you are being frightened by a nurse.  I'm not sure where some of them get HIV training.  Most of them have not kept up with the latest guidelines and research as well as testing protocols.

You should relax.   Be well.

First, oral sex is NOT high risk. It's NOT even a risk for HIV. HIV is so rare that many medical practitioners are not up to date on current screening guidelines. You did not even have a medical reason to test. You can stop testing, you will not get HIV from receiving a oral sex.
