Aa
I need help please!!!!
Hi Doctor,
Almost three months ago I was at a party drinking which i never do. Here's the fact.
A guy at the party gave another girl oral sex.. that's it. About 30 minutes (maybe longer) later after we sat and talked for about 15 minutes he gave me oral sex... that's it. I recieved oral sex and there was alot of fingering involved. Not sure if I had any open sores or anything.
To date I have taken 9 hiv test.. 3 blood draw, 1 oral swab, and 5 finger prick. Also tested for Hep b and c at 10 weeks. All the test have been negative. My last test was 2 days shy of 10 weeks (blood draw EIA) it was negative.
My biggest concern is I have Hoshimoto's Disease.. I got diagnosed with hoshi's about 1. I just take synthroid once a day no complication but im scared that seroconversion is delayed due to my autoimmune disorder. Of course I have thought I had serveral symptoms but turned out not to be what I thought it was. I think the anxiety is so bad i may be making my self sick or am i really having symptoms. I keep getting weak and light headed. I notice everything on my body. I cant concentrate. I havent put on clothes in weeks. I feel like I'm having a never ending anxiety attack. the list could go on but I think you got the fact. I know the symptoms for one thing are the same for many, many, other things.
That's why I posted this question. Reading the internet has only caused the fear and anxiety to be severe.
Also, I know oral sex is supposed to be little or no risk but im not sure of my risk since the gave the other girl oral sex about 45 minutes or so before me.
Please help..

Sigh. The whole point of my intial reply was that in view of the exposures described and your test results, it is IMPOSSIBLE you have HIV. There is no information you can possibly provide that can change that conclusion.
1) No risk --but the risks of exposure doesn't matter. You could have mainlined HIV infected blood. The test results prove you weren't infected.
2) Terminal cancer maybe, profound immune deficiency diseases (much worse than yours), or other immediately life-threatening illnesses. Even these are theoretical, with few if any actual known cases of delayed seroconversion.
3) Yes your test results are conclusive.
Really, stop obsessing about this. You don't have HIV. Move on with your life. Take care.

Dr H,
I want to thank you. Yes, nine hiv test and you don’t even want to know about the doctors visits but as stated the last test was 2 days she of 10 weeks (would this be considered 10 weeks)
Finally, my concern is the if the guy gave the other girl oral sex 30 - 45 minutes before me and fingered her then gave me oral sex 45 minutes later and fingered me. Would her vaginal secretions on his hand not transmit the virus to me if she had it?
The horrible thing about this is. The internet will make you suicidal. There are contradictions everywhere. Although, I want to move on those contradictions play in your mind and in turn you feel the negative test you took 2 days shy of 10 weeks will turn positive by 12 weeks because of the whole "delayed seroconversion" panic... Unfortunately, I found this website after I read a plethora of conservative, conflicting, and misleading information on the internet.
So my final questions are as stated above are (and I hope with all due respect we never speak again).
1. If the guy fingered the other girl and gave her oral sex 30-45 minutes (maybe more) before he fingered me and gave me oral sex would her body fluids on his hand pass the viruss to me if she was infected.
2. What diseases do actually delay seroconversion.. would this include any auto immune diseases??
3. Would a 9 week 5 day test be considered 10 weeks and conclusive? even with auto immune diseases?

Welcome to the forum.
Nine HIV tests? NINE? Good grief. Stop it.
It is not possible to transmit HIV by someone giving oral sex to another person and then to you. Oral sex almost never transmits HIV anyway.
Hashimoto's thyroditis does not increase the risk of HIv and has no effect on the reliability of HIV test results. And no medicines have any effect on HIV testing or on the risk of catching HIV. That includes Synthroid.
Bottom line: you were not at risk for HIV from the sexual events you describe and did not need HIV testing. But your negative test results prove you were not infected. Stop worrying about it.
