i posted a comment on here and i dont no where it went, i wanted to say in theory if i had a risk from the oral in theory, getting tested at 5 months with the elisa test, means i am 100% negative right, can joggen or teak or avonelle or lizzie comment please, thanks have a good night
It was time to move on 5months ago.you never had a risk and your test results confirm that.your as clean as your ever going to be.move on
so ya time to move on i guess, its hard to when ive lived this way for almost a year, in fear, but the fact that i have had my elisa test done 5 months from my oral and 10 months since my actual exposure i would say im clean agreed?
thanks joggen, i have been taking baby steps to move on, im seeking mental health help, and hopefully i can revert my mind back to what it was like before the non risk, the reason i was so scared is early last year i slept with someone that actually had hiv, i didnt no until i was called by the std clinic here saying i was listed as a contact, and since then i have been scared, and the oral was the first type of sexual thing i did since the whole scare, but anywho as you say its all over, i tested neg for my sleepin with someone with hiv that was just about a year ago, and now im done with this one even tho its called no risk or negligble risk as the clinics call it here, which means so small not even worth worrying about, but i just couldnt get that concept into my head when even the clinics here wouldnt test me, i had to go thru my doctor, but im fine now time to move on with my partner knowing i will not transmit anything to him, some can be guilt, some can be fear, and a lot can be my anxiety so again joggen i appreciate it.
well i got an elisa test done 3 days short of 5 months, and i got the results last week, ya some say oral isnt a risk and some say its small, but this is my health and only i can take care of it, so i did it for my own peace of mind, and ya in my heart i believed that the rapid was accurate but i wanted more peace of mind, so my doc gave me one more test, and i got it and it came back negative, this is regarding me receiving oral in october, but now since i got wat i want, which was the elisa lab test, i feel much better about oral, rapid testing etc, and the testing in general, so 3 days short of 5 months is about 100% accurate as one is going to get right? joggen or anyone else who wants to respond, i know in my heart it is, but to hear it from someone that isnt my doc or my family or friend, someone with knowledge and means well, anywho hope to hear from someone soon, you all take care and thanks again for the responses, u can tell i have been feeling better i havent posted for a while :) anywho talk soon.
