Thanks again and this is definitely behind me! Have a great weekend!
Thanks for the thanks. I'm glad to have helped.
No future HIV test of any kind, at any time, is going to change. You can expect negative results forever, unless and until you have a real HIV exposure in the future.
Thank you so much forb the quick reply! If you feel no need for me to have additional testing I will put this behind me and move on! Hiv scares me and should have used a condom! One last question. Is oral at little over six weeks likely not to change ? Thank you and have a great weekend!
This could have been a follow-up in your previous thread, without a posting fee.
As Dr. Hook informed you, this was a very low risk exposure. The combination of low risk your partner had HIV, the chance of transmission if she did (around 1 chance in 1,000) plus your negative HIV test at 6 weeks amounts to an approximate chance you have HIV of around one in a hundred million -- i.e. zero for all practical purposes. Your symptoms are not typical for ARS and your negative tests prove it.
More testing? From a medical standpoint, no need. But if you need the additional reassurance of 100% reliable test results, you'll need a final oral fluids test at 3 months; or go to a clinic for a blood test, which would be 100% reliable at this time.
Whether or not you choose to have another test, do your best to mellow out. There is no chance you have HIV. If you have a regular partner, you should be having normal sexual relations without fear of transmitting HIV.
