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.
You seem to know alot about the virus how is that? Why does the CDC say that it can be transmitted orally and through precum also. THey say there are situations where people have contracted this way.
The CDC is a government agency and by it's nature has to be very conservative when speaking about matters of public health. The have to report everything and anything.
It takes a lot of time to convince the CDC of something. It took several years and I am sure plenty of money for the CDC to change the testing times form 6 months to 3 months.
They has situations where people say they got HIV from just oral sex. I believe just about everytime it has been proven that they did engage in riskier behavior. But think about it, most people are ashamed at what they do from time to time so they will lie.
Saliva has proteins and enzymes which renders HIV inactive so that is why it is not risk.
At first I thought my symptoms were coming from the medication but thatn stopped the medication and still had the symptoms. I undewrstand some of my symptoms can be related to anxiety but some of them don't seem to line up with anxiety. Sores in mouth or genitals and white tongue. I just so happen to have loose stools and night sweats about a week and a half after this encounter.
Someone told me a tingling and numb sensation on teeth can be a sign of an infection in the body, but I don't ever remmber being sick and feeling that sensation. That is why I so thought my symptoms were related to the vistaril but the symptoms continued after I stopped the medication. It just seems so weird to me and I never have loose stools so how did that happen and nightsweats. What elses could it be related just anxiety or something else?
