Exposure Risk of Not?

[Bubba34]

My exposure was receiving oral from a woman in the United States.  The encounter lasted 30 minutes.  I have two ?'s.  I know that receiving oral is just about zero risk, however:  1.  Does the duration of the oral change this assessment or is it still zero risk no matter, even if it was for 20 to 30 minutes 2.  How accuate do you think a negative HIV RNA Nucleic acid test is at 13 days post exposure?

Thanks Doc.  However, I already did the HIV RNA nucleic acid test.  Is this accurate at 14 days post exposure with a negative result?  Because blood and tissue banks use this methodology.  I just want to make sure that 14 days covers the window period with HIV RNA NAT test?  Thanks

Hello Bubba

Patience my friend, is said to be a virtue so hold on we are in the UK you know and a slightly different time zone!

Anyway, your friend in the Forum is nearly correct. He or she says "very low risk". I'd say zero risk. I would certainly not do an HIV RNA test - thats paranoid madness and comletely unnecessary.  If you must, the do an HIV DUO test at 28 days = combined HIV antibody/antigen test. If this is negative then you certainly are.

Very best regards, Sean

Am I going to get a response from a doctor instead of another member for the $20.

Just awaiting a response.  Thanks

YOU ARE GONNA BE FINE! Test again when you hit the 3 month mark from the day you had oral sex. VERY LOW risk but to put your mind at ease...test up! I just did yesterday and I was NEGATIVE...and I had unprotected sex and oral sex...so your chances are great!!!!!! Pray if you believe in God and I will pray for you.
