You had a risk and require testing for STD,s and hiv.At 6 weeks you will receive a very good indication of your status and then follow up at 3 months for a 100% conclusive result.Next time use protection and play it safe.All the best.
Ok thanks,God willing I hope to stay negative.
if u had an unprotected exposure then test at 3 months for an conclusive negative result
How much chance is to get HIV from woman to man having unprotected vaginal sex from one exposure?
doctors say 1 in 1000 exposures.
What about ELISA DUO test + p24 is this reliable after 35 days?
3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test result.
Thanks teak ,what about test at 6 weeks is this not enough time.Many doctors say HIV DUO VIDAS ULTRA is 99,8% accurate past 30 days?
3 months is when you can obtain your conclusive test result.
Didi you have simptoms when you where infected ?
I have ear buzzing all the time is this ARS ?
"I have ear buzzing all the time is this ARS?"
NO
Hi Lizzie
Good to know I love Key West ,God Bless you!
Just a statistic question :
Is very comon to cach the HIV virus from one time vaginal sex ?
One time exposures are still a risk,it makes no difference.A risk is a risk.Full stop.
You should just get tested it will put your mind at ease so you wont have to worry about it anymore. Many on this forum like Lizzie and Teak say that there is no risk with oral and will show you quotes with Dr. Hook and Dr. HHH saying that it is not a risk but if you search the forums you will find that they tell many people that it is a risk although a very small risk.

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 believe 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
"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high. I would say they are effectively zero. How much of his ejaculate or other genital secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference. EWH "
I agree about oral sex that is almost zero risk or even no risk.The problem is I am close to 6 weeks testing and I whant to end this after 3 month pass.Honestly unprotected sex dont deserve all this anxiety and stress.I hope they find cure very soon.I pray for that.
If I will be pozz or neg i will post my result .However it will not be conclusive before 3 months.
I dont have any major simptoms for now that I can connect with HIV and i asked the girl she sad she is negative ,but still God knows when she get tested last time?
The only thing i know that I was tested regulary trough 6 months and i am negative .....
Will be God s will hope he give me one more chance to correct my behaviors.
Thanks
Look, I am not here to argue with you all I am saying is that they dont always say there is NO risk. They say it is a very small risk but there is a risk is all I am trying to say.
Hi guys
Tomorow is testing day,wish me luck!
Thanks for support
6 weeks Negative ab test.
That's great news...it is HIGHLY unlikely to change, but follow up with a test at 3 months. Insist on condoms from now on for any insertive sex!
I will test at 3 months ....and post results.
Thanks for support ,God Bless!
Well i did not test at 3months but they asshure me in the hospital that the test that was done p24+ab ELISA is accurate after 4 weeks? 99,9%
