Oral Sex and HIV between 2 Woman
I thought oral sex was suppose to be 'safe sex'? If not then why are we not being informed to use a condom for that practice too?
About 3 months ago I had unprotected oral sex with a co worker of mine.
There was no blood involved, no visable sores and I'm really just so scared now that I might have contracted HIV through this exposure. Is it possible? And if so, how?
Thank you
Kelly

Thank you for your comments. Just spoken to my insurance broker's secretary and she mentioned nothing to me about their being a problem with the policy. When I asked her, she said that it's up and running and inforce, so I guess I'm in the clear then?
Going to get on with my life now and enjoy it. Thank you all for your kind words, compassion and support! Wishing you all the same results and luck for the future!

i just tested this afternoon... 12 weeks +4 days...and the result is negative
my health couselor said that i must have been over-scared for so long..actually i have very small change to catch the HIV ^^
all the best for the rest of you
by the way, if u need a real evidence, i will be the one who shows that: a 8 week negative does NOT change to positive at 12 weeks .
GOODLUCK everyone

Just nonchalantly ask him who the medical evaluator was, because you needed to give them a call to insure you gave correct information Ex. family history, husband/your social, anything. You could also say you wanted to call them and check the cholesterol level the detected because you are curious due to your father having high cholesterol. Anything would work where he wouldn't question you. Regardless you are insured meaning you don't have HIV, but if still scared come up with an excuse to find out all results. The examining company is obligated to send you this information if asked.
ExtremeStress .... I think you're right - I need to put this behind me and get on with life.
My insurance broker is actually a friend of the family, so I don't really want to contact him as he'll ask questions .... etc.
Not sure what to do or who to call?

No they wouldn't insure you if you were positive, that would be like gambling on a sure thing!!!! Hate to put it that way. Secondly you went down on a girl (no risk). It all points to negative. You should just contact your provider, and ask them where you can hear/get the results of all tests. They will give it to you. It is time for you to move on and have a Good Holiday Season.
Not sure if this means anything, but I've just received my insurance policy in the post.
Do you think that all is okay then and my test was negative. I mean, they wouldn't insure me if I was HIV positive ... would they? I looked through the whole policy document and no where is it mentioned that there is an exclusion because I'm positive. Really confused now!

Can you not check status of your life insurance ?. If they approved you for life insurance then must be a policy established by now. I don't think it is healthy to wait for 4 weeks for result and just do nothing , i would be bananas by now :-)..
Just wanted to let you guys know that I've still had no feedback as yet on my HIV test. It's almost four weeks now, so surely they would have called if there was a problem?
Went to the Doc today for an ELISA test. I know that it's a few days away from my 12 week mark (03/12) but the Doc on Health 24 said that an ELISA will be accurate at this time. Eish, I'll get my results tomorrow......freaking out here!
HansrowSenoj ... I'm sorry to hear that, but you mustn't put your emotions for this girl that you really like because of something as silly as this. I'm sure you're going to be 100% fine, so don't stress and try to enjoy life. I'm trying to do the same too - trying to put this nightmare out of my head and enjoy my family and friends again.
Take care and will chat soon

Coincidentally, December 11th, which is my 25th birthday will be 12 weeks to the day of my incident. However, I will take my test the week after, so that I can enjoy that week without worry. Our Christmas Party for work is that week and I'm going to it with the girl who is semi responsible for the emotional turmoil that lead to all of this. I really didn't want to go with her and tried to avoid the reason why by saying I was afraid to ask her because she might say no. So my coworker, who is her best friend and the reason we met decided to play match maker.
My coworker wants her to come to have fun, but I know I still like her so I didn't really want to go through all that again.... She's too hard not to like.... Plus it will just be too much of a reminder.... My "exposure" didn't actually happen with her.... If it did, I wouldn't be worried, but she is still part of th reason I made such a stupid decision. I must not be built for relationships or something, because they never work for me.

HansrowSenoj .... I'm sure that even a 4 week test would ensure that you're fine!
I guess I have to wait until my broker contacts me for the premium - only then will I know if all is okay, I suppose! I don't understand, why they just don't put you out of your misery once and for all.
This would be the best Christmas ever if all was okay ..... when do you have to take your 12 week test? Mine would be four months, so I'm sure that would definatly either be a positive or a negative indication.

Hey Kelly,
Just like I thought.... and think I said in a post somewhere above, my insurance agent finally contacted me today.... "Why?" Because the payment is due. I think I did say that they probably wouldn't contact you until its time to pay.... Lol.... When they need the money. I guess it could be reassuring, but it still only amounts to a 4 week negative. I'm waiting for my 12th week to really break out the champagne. I wish I had just got the girl to go with me. It would be too difficult to do that now that I'm back to work. The clinic closes at 12:30 and they stop taking blood for test at 11:00 at the hospital. Testing her would at least conclusively give me some answer before 12 weeks.
Anyway, just thought I'd give you that bit of information.

ExtremeStress .... The premium is only due at the end of the month and I only took the HIV test 3 weeks ago, so I haven't heard anything as yet and nothing has come off my account either.
Hence, the reason for my concern ..... not irrational, but emotional at the moment I guess, but I would really love to know either which way so that I can basically just get on with life! Is this not a "Sincere questions with real fears I am sympathetic"

I give mean comments only to irrational people with a great deal of repeated anxiousness/stupidity. Sincere questions with real fears I am sympathetic.
No! I am asking if you have begun to pay a premium. They would have notified you if you were positive and you wouldn't be paying a premium same with health insurance as well.
ExtremeStress .... not sure what that comment is meant to be, but hopefully not a mean one as we are all in the same situation here and would like abit of compassion!
HansrowSenoj .... you see, I told you that you'd be okay - CONGRATS!
I still haven't heard anything from my insurance company, so I'm trying to get on with life day to day and just simply try and put it out of my mind. I'm sure if something was wrong, they would have contacted me already .... don't you think? Eases my mind abit knowing about yours, but still you'd think they would at least contact you and let you know either which way.
GAZA2010 ... my old home town - how is good, old Joeies?
I guess you can say that both of us are ready to be committed?
I'm sure we're both going to be fine, so don't stress out to much and get that test done as soon as possible. Must say, I put this aside for far too long and the only way is to go and have it done - afterall, even if we are .... we can start treating it properly.
Good luck and you're in my prayers.

Just wanted to write you and say that I went into my insurance company yesterday to pay someone else's insurance and decided to ask about mine. Turns out I was approved and my insurance is due on the 30th. They never even called to tell me. So, with that said, I hope that eases your mind even more.... No news = Good news!
Later.... gotta run.
