am really freaked out because i feel like lately there has been a lot of conflicting information in general on HIV and HIV risks. The obvious is around anal / vaginal sex and perhaps oral sex. But i am confused about the new focus open mouth kissing and even rimming. Here is my story and i am hoping you can help me. I thought i always knew how to protect myself and now i am not sure.
Before i had sex with someone, i asked him if he was positive and he said yes. This told me to be careful (i am anyway). But here is what happened.
1. I rimmed him (most experts say this is safe unless there was blood and i didnt see any.
2. we had no anal sex and i only recieved oral-penile sex
3. We did major open mouth kissing, and my ips were red and perhaps chapped and chaffed.
4 he came on my chest and then about two minutes later, was kissing my chest. i kissed him and was certain i got some come on my lips, perhaps on my tongue.
So, the big question is am i at risk or significant rsk for hiv from the come on the lips or even the rimming?
it seemed so obvious to me until i was actually with someone who is hiv positive.
i am at 14 days with no symptoms, except i am run down and feel like a cold is coming on.....have i past a sero conversion window?
i also should have asked viral load, but didnt think it mattered because i knew i was not going to engage in high risk behavior.
really scared now.
thanks,
