Saliva/Spit landed in my mouth

[Vj2015]

Hi, about 4 weeks ago, a female's saliva landed in my mouth. I don't know her HIV status. I took oraquick swab test yesterday (4 weeks) and it was negative. What is the risk here? How reliable is my test results?

Thanks in advance.

Repeating for the third time what you've been told, you had NO RISK and did not need to test.

The flu shot is a "killed virus." There is no way you can contract the flu from the flu shot. Injection site soreness is the worst side effect you could possibly have.

Your chills have NOTHING to do with ARS!

I took flu shot the next day after this incident. It's been almost 6 weeks now. Today, I started experiencing chills. Do you think it is related to ARS symptoms? One can experience ARS flu like symptoms even after taking flu shot? Do ARS symptoms appears during or after 6 weeks?

Thanks in advance.

You had no risk

I have taken another test today (HIV Rapid Blood Test) after 5 weeks of this incident. It was negative. Can I rely on this test and move on? I'm very concerned. What if there is blood in the saliva? I have gum disease but my gums don't bleed and will bleed only when I brush my teeth. I go to dentist every 3 months for cleaning. Does gum disease pose any risk with that incident? Please advise.

You had no risk; therefore, your swab test is 100% reliable.

HIV is transmitted by unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex.  You would also be at risk if you shared IV drug works with other IV drug users.

You can safely ignore any other events.
