Risky Encounter?

[Ezy485]

Dear all,

Appreciate your advise.

My Encounter : I licked a nipple of a woman (HIV status unknown) for at least 2 minutes before coming to my senses as I had a small cut at the bottom of my gum as a result of chewing a bone earlier that evening.

Testing : As I was very ancious, I did a ELISA test at 37 days and the test came out negative.

Shall I take another test at 84 days (3 months) ?

Please advise. Thank you.

NEVER AT RISK

Dear Lizzie and Teak,

I want to do a 3 month ELISA test. Just wanted to find out the follwing:-

Is 3 months = 90 days

or

3 months = 12 weeks (84 days)

I plan to get tested on the 84th day.

Please advise. Thanks

You didn't have a risk and don't need testing. You have no window period.

Let me apologize for replying to your question although my reply was not requested.

You're testing 84 days after what, exactly? If the above mentioned "exposure" is the only thing you have done to put yourself at risk of contracting HIV, then it really doesn't matter whether or not you wait 6 extra days. There was no risk. Your result will be conclusively negative. There is no way you could feasibly have contracted HIV in the manner that you describe. Put an end to your HIV fear.

Hi Bierce,

No need for apologies and Thank you for your advise.

I am just traumatised by the whole incident and wanted to get the test done to get over it once and for all.

All the rest in the forum have advised me that I dint not have a risk at all.

Thanks Bierce
