NO RISK HIV?

6 weeks ago I met with a stranger (another student at my university though). We deep French kissed and I licked his lower penis shaft and balls. I've tested negative for all STDs.

I've been constantly constantly constantly worried about HIV and it won't get out of my head.

I took a 3 week and 4 week HIV duo test (which is at least 99% conclusive and deemed definitive by medhelp experts) however, I still doubt it all.

Let's go through some of my craziness:

A) assuming the man is HIV positive when he showed me a negative Duo test result. I keep worrying that maybe he was in the window period when he took the test. I even went as far as thinking MAYBE his test was fake and he made it online or stole someone else's and changed the name.

B) I'm assuming precum got in my mouth. I don't even know if it did. I am assuming precum dripped down his penis when precum is viscous!

C) HIV is inactivated quickly when exposed to air.

D) I have 2 negative results! 2! And I went for another today cause I'm insane.

E) I have not had the 3 major ARS symptoms (a rash, a severe sore throat, and a severe fever). But I attribute any muscle aches and pain to this disease. It's what has me all worked up and has me doubting my test results!!!

F) my symptoms are occurring outside the regular 2-4 week period.

What the heck should I do? I really need some guidance.

YOU DO NOT HAVE HIV.

As for the pain in your neck, I wonder if it's the same one I'm getting?

Believe your results from the tests you never had to take.

In my post above, the first of the three ways you can contract HIV should have read "UNPROTECTED INSERTIVE ANAL/VAGINAL INTERCOURSE WITH AN HIV + PARTNER."

You NEVER had a risk.

HIV cannot live outside it's human host. Precum is outside, ergo, it would be inactive. NO RISK.

Air renders the virus inactive almost instantly. The enzymes in saliva render it inactive, as well as the air inside the human mouth. NO RISK

There has NEVER been a documented case of HIV being transmitted by ANY kind of kissing. NO RISK.

There are three ways HIV is transmitted

1) UNPROTECTED INSERTIVE ANAL/VAGINAL INTERCOURSE
2) SHARING DRUG WORKS (NEEDLES) WITH AN HIV+ PERSON
3) HIV+ MOTHER TO HER UNBORN CHILD

If you do not find yourself in any of the above groups, you're fine. You do not have HIV nor do you need to test.

Please get yourself educated about HIV/AIDS. Since you're going to university, you're resources are virtually unlimited. Once you understand what IS and what ISN'T a risk for HIV, not only will you be able to teach other people the truth, debunk all the misinformation and myths and lies, you will be able to enjoy a worry free and healthy sex life.

I'll say it again, because it's the truth and you need to learn WHY for yourself.................YOU HAD NO RISK.
Peace

The average days to seroconvert is 25 days....A negative test at 3 months means that you are negative, end of story.  Having said that, I don't think you had any risk at all to begin with.  If you want to get educated about HIV risks, please look on the HIV Anxiety Forum.  Other than that, you should seek psychological help for your HIV anxiety.  I'm sure at some point you are going to have to get your feet wet so to speak with another relationship and so you really need to get this under control before then.
