If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
In my country there is an advocated policy with the acronym ABCDE:
A- Abstain
B- Be faithful
C- Condomise every time correctly
D- Do get tested
E- Educate yourself
I do not know if such advocated policies exist in the countries that you all may come from, but I think this is the one of the best advice that can be given without getting into religion, morality, or politics.
Also people afflicted with syndromes need our understanding and caring, and not our judgment.
Thank you Teak for your response to me (and to all in need of help ) and all the others who contribute regulary to the forums.

I am just reporting back. I did two HIV tests. One full blood test after the potential exposure through oral sex on Mar 26, 2008 and a HIV rapid testing a week ago. The tests had a negative result for HIV. I would like to thank you all for the your support and comments in my time of desperation.
In talking to the HIV consellor he indicated to me that I may low self esteem and this is what may have led to me becoming involved in a situation where I was chemically impaired (drunk). It alerted me to the fact that there are deeper issues to the spread of HIV that just biological ones.
