should I be tested??

[john138]

Hi,

I had vaginal intercourse with a man of unknown status twice. On both occasions he did not ejaculate inside me. Should I get a HIV test? He tells me he never had a test and had unprotected sex with a woman once but never suffered any symptoms. About 6 days after having sex with him I developed a tongue trush and no other symtoms I have the trush for 2 weeks now and can seem to nock it maybe it becuase I am a bit stressed out. Any suggestions would be great. Also what is the odds if he did have hiv of catching I know it is like 1000/1 for a man does anyone know what it is for a woman and in my case where he did not ejaculate in me. Thanks

Not always. It's not HIV specific.

doesnt thrush come later in hiv teak?

Thrush does not mean you are HIV positive. Anyone can get thrush at anytime. Infants are prone to Thrush. The earliest to test is 6 weeks post exposure.

Thanks teak. I am a bit freaked now and with the tongue trush and all. But my own fault never thought if there was no ejacultaion you could catch it what a fool am I. Will test next week any way then again a few weeks after that. But just a quick question if you dont mind. Is it hard to catch it when there is no ejaculation or is it like 1000/1 for a man?? Thanks again

First off you don't need ejaculation to transmit HIV. Yes if you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex you do need to test. You can test at 6 weeks and if negative test at 3 months and collect your conclusive test result.
