If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
I immedialtely washed and left. Since then I have had some immediate fitigue which passed after 5 days. I have a bit of a sore throat and neck glands are a bit swollen and sensitive.
I took a standard HIV test after 5 days and recieved a negative test. Had unprotected sex with my wife after results of that test... then read that it isnt conclusive after such a short period of time after exposure. Anxiety has overcome me and the repercussions of a positive test would have on my Wife and family.
I just took the PCR test that detects HIV. Results will not be in for 4 days.
What are my chances of HIV contraction if no condom was used at the end. Help, I am going crazy thinking my irresponsible behavior may have ruined my wives life and my own.
Can't give you an indication of if no condom was used what is the chance. But I can tell you that probably a condom was used because the person doesn't want to get anything from you. But it would be wise to take an antibody test at 3 months just to make sure since you do not know if a condom was always used.
thanks for the answer - I saw your prior posts regarding PCR testing. Am i running a great risk of getting a false positive with this test? That might make me jump out a window.
Also, I just talked to the worker and was told that status was negaitve and that safe sex is always practiced... "i just dont go up into somebody's body unprotected"
I guess I find some solace in the reponse. But Seeing is believing.
