about testing/ teak I need u

I'm so anxious and really need testing, And I want to know if I use saliva test strips to text myself at home is less accuracy than test in hospital?
Is 6weeks really enough or need 3 mouths?
If I tested very late, for example, 1year, can hiv still be tested out?
Thank you!!!!

I'm truly in the status that u can easily imagine…everyday I went to bed,trying to tell myself "u r not infected",but when awake the other day,the first thing I came through of my mind was "what if I was infected""how much possiblity can I be infected"…then I can never focus on any work…Lay in bed all day…even not eat…
what can I do…I counted everyday for testing,6 weeks then someone said 12,12weeks then another said 6mouth …even a year…I cant wait anymore for testing and I dont know when to test can I totally get rid of it…

hello teak,SORRY for troubling you again,but I'm scared of my bloody sputum these days…all bloody…OMG…  I can't go to other forums because they all set me risky…no exception…
so I want to ask you some questions here based on what you said above :1,we all know hiv can keep living in our body liquid like blood,sperm and saliva even outside our body(even it's really not a long time but that's how we can tested it out),then why it can't infect us when contract with our cuts? when he fist me it's really great pain and the saliva and other pre-liquid can easily get into my blood system.2,I remembered that when I did oral sex for him there really turn out to be a cut in my mouth,even not very big but it exists, is it true that cut&infectious liquid exists then infect exists?thank you very much!

Am not an expert but all you need to do is calm down and stop thinking about it. If you are so unlucky there are lot of other things that can happen, not HIV. I know how it will feel like but I am sure it will go away.

yes I 99.9999% believe I have no risk now, really. But maybe I'm to concerned of my body, my friends and my familiy. I really got a spirit problem.
I don't want them to be hurt. There always a sound in my heart saying: what if you are the unlucky one? you'll hurt all the friends you love! what about your future? what about your familiy knows you get hiv because of you have sexual contact with a gay, although only once!
I can't focus on anything for almost 2 days...I'm so tired...

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

THAT'S WHY!!!

If HIV+ fluids of any kind are exposed to air (Outside the body) they are inactive and unable to infect.

sorry, there's a question that confusing me.
As we know HIV infects when our body fluid exchanged with an HIV+,
then why the HIV+ sperm contacted with our cracks can be no risk?

Arse play (including sex toys and fisting)

HIV

The delicate lining of the arse can be easily damaged causing bleeding during arse play.  Small amounts of blood can enter your body through cuts or cracks in your hand.

that's what they say...

Please do yourself a favor and STOP reading about HIV on the internet.  It is FULL of false information that will scare you.  There has never been a case of transmission from what you did and you WILL NOT be the first.

We state FACT, most other sites DONT

you say you really trust us, yet you are questioning our responses.

* This HIV Community is a place to discuss HIV Prevention based upon the criteria established by MedHelp’s doctors.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?  
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort).  DR. HOOK

I'm really appreciated of your kindness, REALLY! But as I'm searching the Internet, I found more and more experts saying that my behavor (receiving finger-, giving unprotected oral sex and let sperm contacted with my broken zits on my face)"it's somekind of risk", even some experts say that "IT'S OF GREAT DANGER!"....
I just saw that put sex toys into the anus can get hiv according to the Austrilia office (http://www.whytest.org/sex/index.php).Sex toy can, then finger is much more danger!right? and that was what I concerned most now!!!

by the way, I think I may have anxiety now, because I'm so scared...I really trust you guys, but I still can't forget what the other people said on the Internet....
I really don't know how long can I get rid of the scarey, really don't know....

Thanks again!
