Oral sex between two woman
Please can someone help me. About 6 months ago I had an encounter with another lady. We had oral sex - both giving and receiving. There was no blood involved, but not sure about other bodily fluids. Is this a risk for HIV infection and do you think it warrants an HIV test?
Who is this Andy? Andy Velez?? He says he got hiv from performingoral on a woman??
And he is giving advice to people? Of course he is lying.
Michelle,
Whoever this Andy is forget him. He is not being truthful. He has had other risks that he is not saying. And maybe, as Teak says, he may not even have HIV. It was wrong for him to write you this way and was to simply scare you. I have read many of Andy Velez's posts, he seems ok so I do not think it is him.
I am going to go read Aidsmeds and find your post there to see who this is.
That said, for God's sake you have some serious problems. This forum is doing nothing for you. GO TEST FOR GODS SAKE!!!!!! JEEZUZ.
YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV!!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!END OF DISCUSSION!!!!!
Your worry is not HIV, it is that you "cheated" on your husband. HIV only comes to mind because you care about your husband and do not want to "infect" him because of your actions, even though you could not infect him because YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV!!!!

Thank you Teak .... I really started getting worried and thinking 'just maybe' I've contracted HIV! I'm sure they have to say that to cover all their bases. Are you in agreement with everyone else that there is absolutly nothing to worry about regarding transmission of HIV between two women - no blood involved?
That's the same thing you can read off their website, word for word. Which doesn’t tell you that the only information that they have is from peer surveys. They don't tell you about all the studies that contradict them. That’s like contact an HIV hotline those people read from books that most are even outdated. Now you can sit around and worry about this all you want. You can go collect your negative result and be done with it. It's up to you.
NOW I'M REALLY CONFUSED!! This is the report back I got from the CDC on oral sex and HIV transmission. I thought they were the experts on HIV and transmission but everyone here keeps telling me that I've got nothing to worry about. You're responses would be great!!
Thank you for contacting us with your follow-up questions.
Yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. Please see this CDC web site about women who have sex with women and HIV http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/women/resources/factsheets/wsw.htm.
I do not have a medical background. Please see your doctor about testing. Here is a good site regarding testing: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/testing/qa.htm.
Please see our web site, www.cdcnpin.org for further information. If you have further questions, please contact the CDC Information Line by email at ***@**** or by phone at 800-232-4636.
I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

A BIG THANK YOU TEAK and I'm sorry if I kept going on about this and if I've been an absolute pain!
Will try and get through this and get on with my life.
Take care and God Bless you for all the wonderful work and advice you're giving.

It's really sad in a way that people are not truly honest about how they actually contracted HIV .... it gives us false hope and untrue figures. He really gave me quite a scare and made me doubt everyones ability and information here on Medhelp and Aidsmeds. Basically what you're saying Teak is that there is no reason for me to pursue this matter any longer as my risk for contracting HIV from one sexual encounter with another woman is not risky at all and no need for me to test?
