Dr. Jose - reassuring please....
Dr. Jose, good morning. It’s me again, Pedro.
I’m really sorry to coming back to you again with the same question you’ve already replied to me. However, I’m still a bit nervous (actually, I scared!) about the encounter I had 18 days ago.
When you say to me I do not need any testing or need to be worried about what happened to me it means that I did not have any risk at all of getting infected? As I said, I am a married man and not testing can implies a lot of things….
I do understand that fingering without a condom and having been penetrated by a vibrator covered by a condom are both very low risk situations. The only meaningful risk situation I would have would be if the girl had large amounts of blood streaming out from an open wound.
But in that situation, blood streaming out from an open wound would be something visible to me? I meant, it would be possible to me to see such amount of blood pouring out from her finger? It would be something like someone cutting his finger with a piece of glass or a knife where blood will be pouring out?
Also, for the penetration process she used oil to lubrificate my anus. It would be possible having any infected fluid mixed with the oil capable to infect me?
I can remember she handling the condom, the vibrator, even touching myself but I cannot remember any sign of blood at all. After she fixed the belt over her waste and vibrator on it too I did not notice any bleeding process nor blood from her fingers. When the penetration over, I looked at the vibrator and there were no blood there either. I just notice my bleeding around 25 mins later at home.
It has been 18 days since then and everyday I take my temperature every hour to see if I have any fever. Besides that, I am always looking to my body looking for any rash, redness, etc…
I am trying to rationalize that but it’s been too difficult. Could you please reassure me with your opinion about what I went through?
Best regards,
Pedro

samsie, thank you for your post. I am only worried about everything. I trust on what dr. Sean is telling me but my worries are bigger...in matter of fact, the big problems are the "what if.." questions...it looks endless....I just want to get my duo test after 27 days to see its result...coming negative (as dr. sean has said it will come) I will be much much more relaxed...pedro
pedro sorry but u may be obsessed with this thing
Just to let you know that I went today for another HIV Duo test (HIV I/HIV II + p24). This is my 27th day after possible exposure. I'll let you know when I receive them from the lab. Pedro
Dr Sean, I called the lab here in SP and they told me that they are no longer doing the P24 test. The P24 was replaced by the HIV PCR quantitative analyses. Regarding the test HIV I and HIV II they are testing normally. So what they test today is: HIV I + HIV II + PCR...As you suggested me to do HIV I/II + P24 now I am in doubt now about the other test...can I do the PCR instead of P24 with the same assurance and reliability on the final result?
I was just expecting some comments about the HIV test I did. Even being not at the correct time (28 days) I was expecting it could have some meaning....Today it has appeared some red dots on my forehead and I do not know what's that. It would be possible to be any sympthon of rash???
Tks again. I know I promissed not coming back with this issue but as I got this result after 13 days I thought it would be a good thing putting you aware...pedro
