do you think i was at risk?
Hi so I un protected sex on two different occasions w two different male partners. I'm a female straight female .They both never ejaculated and only pre- came if ny they pulled out. Do I have a high risk? What are my chances!? Thank you.
The best thing you can do is just have that test at 3 months post-exposure and collect your 100% conclusive result the rest doesn,t really matter now.Only a test result will answer all your questions and only a test result can diagnose hiv.Wishing you the best.
Hello. Thank you for all ur responses. Back to me. I have been tested n I plan to be tested at 3 months as well, thank you. So then w pre-cum there is a lower concentration of hiv in it right? Also how do heterosexuals get hiv then if the probability is higher in gay men? Is it bc they heterosexuals are having anal? Or happen to meet someone that does drugs as well!?......thanks again.
Perhaps!!! People should not use inaccurate numbers and faulty reasoning.
Well, hope you are doing good Teak and I will keep you in my prayers. I agreed with almost all of your advices on HIV transmission.

Where did they come up with the sensitively/specificity numbers? It is silly to say that probability does not play an important role in medical or HIV testing. It does not matter if I am a MD or not, we use the same reasoning and the same numbers as you can read from the docs assessments.
WRONG. Their tests results are not based on probabilites and statistics and by the way you are no doctor and you don't have a back ground in HIV prevention.
Their test results are based on probabilities and statistics researchers came up with. Even if they tested negative, it does not mean that they don't have HIV. It means that the chance of having HIV is so small given the negative result, that is not worth to worry about it anymore. No test is 100% sensitivity. The doctors on the doctors forum use probabilistic arguments/assessments all the time.
I understand what you are saying, if you had a risk then you need to get tested!!! The numbers I am putting out are conservative numbers that are meant to calm fears. But of course if you had unprotected sex and is unsure of your partners status then you MUST get tested!!!
You were already advised as to when to test on a previous post and a study conducted by the AIDS ACTION COUNCIL in Australia came to the conclusion that MEN who have sex with MEN made up for 90% of new hiv infection cases in 2009-2010.Thats a high risk group and that is also a FACT.
You had some risk for having unprotected sex. But your risk is low. Unprotected sex is 1 in 1000 and the chance that your partner have HIV is probably low, to be conservative let say 5%(Assuming they are not bisexual) then for the two occasions your risk is the order of 1 in 10,000. This is less than tossing 13 quarters and getting all heads. If they are bisexual the risk is higher but still relatively small. You should get tested at 6-8 weeks then follow up at 3 months.
The only way to know your status is by testing. You can test 3 months after your last unprotected sex to obtain a conclusive test result.
