Do I need further testing

Hi,

Even after suggestions from Lizzie and Teak, I went ahead and prformed Immunoassay (Rapid test for HIV ! and II) on 25th day and result came back Negative. Is this enough or do I need more testing for below mentioned incident.

Hi,

I had an encounter with a girl I know from office on 8th Oct 2010. I do not know her HIV status. On the day, we french kissed each other for @ 10 mins and then I fingered her for almost 40 secs. We did not have any vaginal intercouse, nor I removed my clothes. I do not have any sores in mouth or any gum disease (Do not know exactly about her but looks like she has a decent dental health). After the incidence, now I am worried to death thinking what if she is HIV+ve and I contract that. What are my risks of contracting HIV through this act.

Awesome ... thanks a lot ... I have freaked out since that day and have been reading about this everywhere I can ... I have read comments from so many experts saying "This is not the way of transmission" ... but still this "what if" is haunting me ... having said that ... now, I will work on it and will try to leave it behind.

ask whoever did you HIV test. If it came back negative, why worry? That means you don't have HIV. =)

Us people with anxiety, tend to need REASSURANCE all the time over scares like this. But look at those results... stair them down... READ IT. Say it out loud. NEGATIVE. NEGATIVE. NEGATIVE. =)

You got a clean bill of health there!~ AND, after reading your post, there is no way you could have gotten HIV from this girl. You can't get it from kissing. And fingering?... nah. Your penis would have to be inside her, and her fluids would have to make its way into your penile stream. Or if you swallowed her fluid or something like that. I don't even know if you can get HIV from swallowing her fluid? I just felt so gross writing that. lol. But it was for your benefit.

Chill out. You are fine, and clean clean clean. =)
