Ps
I only had insertive penile- vaginal sex with her, no anal or oral, and judging by her reaction when the condom failed I would say that she practices safe sex as much as a prostitute can. She screamed, hit me, and ran to the shower to clean herself up.
3 month post exposure test will be conclusive.
Okay I already knew that but thanks.
I went to the Thai red cross hiv research center in chiang mai yesterday and they told me to get an ELISA done at 45 days, would this be, say 70% conclusive? 80% should I just test once a week from here to six months if it makes me feel less insane?

45 Days Elisa is an excellent indication of your status, but you'll need to do three months to be conclusive. Many claim that a 6 to 8 weeks negative will not change, but the current CDC guidelines say 3 months, so that is what you'll hear on this forum.
Thank you, I will be waiting outside for them to open the clinic doors in the morning on day 45. In the meantime, can anybody help me figure out my relative risk, it would be a big help considering the anguish that I'm going through, I'm sure many people here can relate.
If the last study done in 2004 found an average HIV+ prevalence rate of 2.4% in Lao sex workers from six provinces (let's say it's 4% given that it's six years later) and a single act of unprotected insertive penile-vaginal intercourse with a + woman carries a 5 in 10,000 chance of transmission, what are my odds that I have HIV? Would you say I'm likely doomed or do I have a better chance of being struck by lightning while being eaten by a shark? I'm horrible with math otherwise I would figure this out while staying up all night biting my nails. Thank you again.

Also that study didn't specify whether the prostitutes tested were male or female, so maybe this is pointless but what the heck, it might help calm my nerves if someone can answer.
the number used is 1 in 2000 chances for infection from a one time exposure from someone who is positive.
NOW...you've been given a number. there is nothing else we can do at this point. the only way to know one's status is by testing.
Will 3 months post exposure test be conclusive?
Come on man this isnt a joke, I'm really asking for help here!
Okay thank you I won't post here anymore, I get it I just have to wait.
in THIS post alone...teak has told you...3 TIMES...that a conclusive test is 3 months post exposure. now what part of that did you not understand?
I understood that before he posted it the first time. It's common knowledge. I was just trying to find some support and information, forgive me if I sounded agitated but my life is on the line here. I know that is my own fault and I put myself at risk, I think I've been misunderstood, sorry for pissing you off. I'll test when the time comes and I'm done with this forum, it isn't very friendly. Bye.
Sarcasm doesn't translate through text very well. My post to teak was sarcastic because posting the same thing three times is redundant and unhelpful. I hope you guys can help others with more understanding and compasion than you have shown me. Okay bow I'm really done.
3 month post exposure test will be conclusive. Have a good day..

I FIND NO SARCASM IN THIS QUESTION. WHAT I DO FIND, IN YOUR POSTS, IS SOMEONE WHO IS DESPERATE FOR US TO "ASSURE" THEM THAT THEY DONT HAVE HIV. WE CANNOT DO THAT ! ! ! ! !
YOU HAVE BEEN ASSESSED AND GIVEN ADVICE ABOUT TESTING. DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU EXPECT FROM US. THIS IS NOT A PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING SERVICE, AND WE CANT BE EXPECTED TO HOLD YOUR HAND UNTIL YOU TEST.
