please help i'm so worried
hello everyone I am a 28 year old female and I had uprotected vaginal sex with a suposedly cocaine user heterosexual male on april 29 2007 and gave him only oral sex on may 12, 2007. I had an oraquick blood test done on june 7 2007 (5 weeks and 4 days) after the first exposure which was negative. to your knowledge do u think the negative results are reliable? or did I test to soon? also what is the transmission risk for women? please respond I am so scared
I agree with worried9999.
You got better chances of winning the next lottery than testing positive for HIV.

thank you for the information I will be able to sleep a little better. I tested again yesterday but will not get the results until next friday. I am praying you are correct.
The doc here has also said in the past that the chances of transmission from a man to a woman through unprotected vaginal sex is about 1 in 1000.
So, do the math. Let's say the chances that this guy was HIV+ was 1%. The chances that you contracted it from him is 1 in 1000. Then, let's say the chances that you tested negative 5 weeks and 4 days after exposure, but then would turn out to be positive is about 2%.
0.01 * 0.001 * 0.02 = 0.0000002. That is one in 5 Million!!!!!!!!!
I found an old thread of the doc's that you might find helpful also.

From what I understand, giving oral sex is NOT a risk. I have read things that disagree with that statement. However, even the people that believe that it is a risk will tell you that it is a an EXTREMELY small risk.
The bottom line is this:
1) It is unlikely that this guy had HIV.
2) HIV is hard to transmit.
3) The Doc here estimates that around 95% of people who would turn positive would do so by 5 weeks.
The odds are WAY in your favor.

Sorry, wrong thread. Anyway, you are almost at 6 weeks. The doc here says that 6 weeks is conclusive. It would be very unlikely for your negative result to change.
