8 Weeks HIV test

How comfortable should you feel with taking an 8 weeks HIV test if you had unprotected oral sex and ejaculation in the mouth of one of the 2 girls of unknown status? Or how reliable is the 8 weeks test? If Teak or Lizzie could answer me. That would be very appreciated.

Thanks

Good information. Thank you very much...I was wondering: During your training sessions do you tell the people straight forward that HIV can't be transmitted through Oral Sex? I could not find that information in the manual.

i thought any kind of exposure to bodily fluids posed a chance?
i think you need to see a doctor to be sure!
thats the only definite way of knowing, it may be scary, but its good to know.
and after this, be MORE CAREFUL!!!
one night vs. YOUR LIFE

makes sense?

No risk means no risk, HIV is not passed via oral sex.

No risk because of the oral sex? Is that correct? BTW the event occured with both girls same day.

Thanks for your prompt answers.

No risk, no reason to test from these 2 exposures.
3 months is a conclusive result.
