encounter that may have exposed me to HIV and I proceeded to potentially expose my wife and child. I have never found myself in this position and did some incredibly stupid and selfish things. The act was with a man of whose history I do not know nor can I find out. The amount of contact was brief involving hands
with my wife and we did not use a condom for the first 10 minutes. I feel I must have been in denial to have done something so horrible. I finally broke down after about another day and 1/2. In the interim my wife was breast feeding. I have told my wife and we are starting counseling. During the stress I did have soem penile irritation and have seen a physicain. Nothing apeared a wry but I am waiting results on gonereah/clamydia. Here are my primary questions.
1. What is my likelyhood of exposure?
2. More importantly what is the likelyhood for the others?
3. Others cites (CDC) seem to indicate a greater risk for oral exposure than your does. I worry I am finding confifdence in yours since its what I desperately want to hear. Any advice on further research.
4. i am currently scheduled to have an HIV test on the 26th day of exposure. The lab says the results will be available in 2-5 days post. i also intend to test at three months. Does this schedule seem appropriate? i have found some information on a test that can be performed earlier (RNA) and that some regular tests can have quicker results. Are the other tests as reliable?.
I really appreciate any help or advice, especially for my family.
