West Africa

[worriedexpat]

I have recently moved to West Africa. I believe I may have done something very stupid. I took a girl home from a bar, we did not have sex only oral sex, her giving me and I fingered her. I bite my nails and cuticles and although I had no bleeding cuts I did have broken skin around my finger nails. After fingering her i noticed a flap of skin anging off my finger, I squeezed it but no blood came out indicating it was not an :open" wound. Was there any risk here?

It depends who you believe abdo.  Per the conservative CDC and FDA, and the companies which make  the tests who are covering their ***** legally, yes a 3 month antibody test is the only "official" conclusive test.

However, as I said...If you have HIV, at 3 weeks either the antigen or antibody test would be positive.

is an 81 days test conclusive?

[snippets69]

Then you don't have HIV.... At 21 days if you have HIV either the antigen or antibody test would of been positive.

Your risk is non-existent as already said by evenflow and worried. HIV does not transmit through receptive oral and fingering. Relax and move on. Whither it is United States, United Kingdom or Africa, rules of safe sex apply equally, regardless of region. Use condoms correctly and consistently, if intend to go for vaginal or anal sex.

No risk, HIV has never been contracted that way.

In 25 years of this disease there has never been one documented case of anyone catching this disease through fingering, that includes people who have been in your own situation.  No risk man  move on.
