sorry i forgot to add that I had a exactly 5 weeks after exposure preceded but a sinus infection that's kind of random don you think??
can some please help im just sitting here waiting
Next time your partner goes for labs go with him so you can rest assured you haven't had a risk.
What do you mean??? Do you mean I should be tested??
Thats fine. I'm curious what you think about the napkin risk specifically? Can sperm still infect some one a few hours later or even a day later if its in an air tight condition like a condom or bag??
also do you sitll consider 3 months for conclsuive for my case given im not a drug user and in good health??
ok thanks... but i kinda wanted to here teaks response... Teak what is conclusive and what about the sperm duration of life?
Teak has said 1,000 times on here 3 mos is conclusive and I am 1000% sure that is what he will say again. Now you do bring up an interesting point on the napkin because clearly not all semen is exposed to the air as you mention. I am interested to see Teak's response on that.
hiv cannot live outside it's host PERIOD.
3 months IS CONCLUSIVE.
You can take Lizzie Lou's answer to the bank! Thanks Lizzie!!!
I certainly don't fit into this category but your response above made me ask a question I cannot answer. If HIV cannot live outside it's host why is needle sharing a risk? The reason I ask is that if blood and/or the virus goes from one person to a needle it is now outside its host. The next person comes along (within seconds) and injects with the same needle this is very high risk.
I guess the question is whether or not the blood/virus is considered outside the host while on the needle only?
I have recently come to terms (I think) with my negative status but I am now very very interested in this subject and becoming more knowledgeable so I can help others who deal with this.
This is the exact reason I'm concerned is I think if the sperm was in air tight conditions it could have survived up to a couple hours later correct because it was still damp??? Or am I missing something here?
First off you didn't have a risk and second you have a conclusive negative test result.
ok so no matter what in a real world situation not some cdc laboratory even if the sperm is kept in a moist air tight area it cant infect people an hour later or beyond??? Just clarifying and thanks for your response Mr. Teak!!
or maybe some one else with some insight??? teak u too :)
some one please answer!!!
If infected *** just hit a small wound on your finger, just like the size of a pin hole and there a is a little bit of blood coming out and you wipe the blood away with a towel and there is fresh sperm on there is it a risk?
Im guessing if u thought i was actually at risk u would tell me huh???
