meds and testt

[edog92]

I have a question on reliablity of results do to meds.

exposure breif insertive oral

week 1 ngative antibodie test
week 2 cortisone shot an methlepredisone 6 day pack for a rash negative antibodie test
week 4 negative antibodie test
week 5 negative antibodie test
week 6 negative antibodie test

do you think i'm in the clear?6 weeks usally is a good indicator. i thought.

Sorry about the meds issue, I confused you with someone asking about PEP.

As for you, the cortisone shot is irrelevant following a virtually no risk exposure.  For that matter, so is further testing.  Your 6 weeks test results are valid.  Forget abvout this expsoure and move on.  EWH

It is safe for you to have sex with your wife.

Cortisone and prednisone are both steriod medications with similar effect.  You do not have HIV.  Your tests prove that the very low risk exposure you mentioned did not give you HIV.  It is time for you to move on.

this will end this thread.  Further questions will not be answered and will be delted without comment.  EWH

Iwll not repeat myself. Read my earlier reply.  If your continuuing symptoms trouble you you shold see a doctor for evaluation.  HIV however is not a concnern.  eWH

Welcome to the Forum. You do not have HIV and do not need medication.  The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex.  Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.

The combination of the very, very low risk of HIBV and your negative blood tests at this time indicate that you have nothing to worry about.  No need for further testing.   EWH

ok thanks for everything doc.

No change in my answer   Continuing to ask these anxiety driven questions will result in deletion of the entire  thread.  EWH

s=is my week 6 really valid?

this will be my last post

[edog92]

[edog92]

so you think i'm 99% in the clear.

The only thing that bothers me is i had pressure and burning in both sides of my neck and dry mouth from week 4 til current i'm in week 6 now.

could this be swollen lmpth notes and my arpit area by my peck muscles are a little sore when i poke them

[edog92]

thank you

[edog92]

could you please respond to my above ?

I didn't ask if i needed meds.

you stated you don't have hiv and do not need meds i don't understand.

[edog92]

i wanted to know if the cortisone shot  and the predisone i took at week 2 could have made my 6 week test invaliad.

thanks
