Aa
now vomitting??
I submitted a post 3 and a half weeks ago regarding an encounter I had with a pre-op male-female transexual. I had insertive anal with a condom and unprotected insertive oral. You guys advised me that my exposure was no risk and that I shouldn't panic.
Yesterday three and a half weeks ppost exposure, I got stomach cramps and vomitted twice during the night. I had no noticeable fever, enlarged lymph nodes, rash, or any other symptoms. I had a sleepless night worrying about ARS.. I know you guys said my expposure was zero risk but surely there is a small risk attached to oral. Dr Bob on thebody website says that the risk definately isn't zero. Anyway, my vomitting caused me to stress out heaps and I was hoping for some support from you guys.
Have a nice day!!

So using thin condoms won't matter if the condom doesn't break. Would durex fetherlite ones be just as effective at stopping hiv?
Ok. I was stressed out buy my stomach illness so I thought I would go and get tested. I went to the sexual health clinic to get tested even though I am only 4 weeks post exposure. The nurse who gave me the form for the blood test made my anxiety worse by stating that they recommended extra thick condoms for anal sex. I was wearing a durex featherlite ones. She implied that condoms could get small holes in them. I checked it htoroughly and it seemed ok at visual inspection. Any comments??
I know lizzi lou - i thin k i am being illogical too....its just becuase the whole transexual thing is new for me and that makes me stress. I am usually so healthy too. Thanks for your answer and ffor putting things in perspective. You are very kind - the world needs more like you. Have a nice day - I will try harder to control my intense concern and paranoia!
I had moved on but my vomitting bought it all back. Most people also seem t assess oral as low-medium risk - such as Doctor Bob on thebody.
I reckon I might be one of the unlucky ones!!

Hi Teak
I realise the good Doctors and yourself assessed my situation as being zero risk but surely the vomitting in combination with a very slight risk of transmission from oral does create some concern that I may be seroconverting??
