desperate for facts

I had two unprotected oral receptive blowjobs.

i thought oral activity was safe...but when i heard it actually blew me away.
i have had a dna test post exposure on the 5th day, 2nd week,5th wek adn 8th week... ALL ARE NEGATIVE
i have had a duo and also RNA test post 2nd week, 5th week, 8th week.. ALL NEGATIVE
i had a standard elisa test post 8th week ...NEGATIVE

Do i still need to be worried... my anxiety levels are very high as i am not aware of the facts

I would say you are 99.9% negative unless youve had more risk before then

Is that really true?  I've heard that some people have reported getting HIV from receptive (giving) oral.  I know there seems to be some dispute about that and the patient reports are supposedly unreliable versus the documented scientific studies both in San Francisco as well as in Spain which tracked thousands and thousands of people giving and receiving oral (both hetero and homosexual) in sero-discordant relationships (where one is positive and the other is negative) as well as single people reporting oral sex only in their activities and there were no conversions in either study.  In the Spain study there were instances of high viral loads, ejaculation in mouth, etc.  In the California study there were reports of ejaculate in the mouth as well as reports of oral with known HIV+ partners.  Still.....no seroconversions.  That's pretty compelling evidence that the risk is very, very low if not zero.  However, there are still those pesky patient reports to contend with.  While they are notoriously unreliable, they still exist.  Are all of those people lying, ashamed or forgetting other risks?  Who knows......the overwhelming majority of them also report some other potential avenue to infection such as anal intercourse and many of them report some oral issues (such as sores, cuts, etc.) and most also report receiving ejaculate in the mouth.  So maybe, oral is a theoretical risk and potentially possible, but still low risk,  if certain factors are present such a impaired oral health, high viral loads and ejaculate in the mouth.  Anyone agree?

Yes and you will always have people say they were abducted by aliens.

well...I guess I am hoping, like alot of others who are worried about their oral exposures, that you are right.

truly: stop wasting your money, you don't have HIV

jddkdd: your assessment is right on, it's highly unusual to get infected by giving head.  Lots of factors need to go wrong for that to happen.
