ars questions

[musician14]

If you were experiencing the symptoms of ARS at the time of tesitng and you had an Elisa would it show you as positive on a blood test after 6 weeks of possible exposure?

[Vance2335]

You had no HIV risk from the above situation.

Can anyone help? I planned on having unprotected sex with a partner that is null of any stds and I dont want to risk any transmission if I even have a slight chance to transfer hiv.

[musician14]

Any imput on future sex partners that I want to be exclusive with?  Should I wait and test in another 6 weeks or will I be ok with negative tests on all stds?

[musician14]

Any advice on my question?

[musician14]

?

[musician14]

Alright. I have been tested for all other stds as well all negative. The only thing i ask is that if I decide to persue a long term relationship should I test at 12 weeks or am I ok sexually to go ahead with it without testing

You did have a risk for HIV. Even if your partner was HIV+ the virus would have begin to break down as soon as it was exposed to the atmosphere. Oral and protected vaginal sex is not an HIV risk.

Negative results 6 weeks post

Handjob with immense vaginal secretions followed up by unprotected oral and protected sex. Condom in tact the whole time during the protective sex.

You would have a 95-99% accuracy rate if you test at six weeks.  Regardless of what ever symptoms you think you have.  What was your results?  What was your exposure?

Very likely.

In truth it would probably depend what test you used.  Duo/ combo conclusive at 4 week's. Antibody only at 12 weeks.

But ARS usually happens at first few weeks anyway.

Hope this help's.

All the best.
