A bad vacation
Hi all ive been extremely worried for many many many months and so ive decided to post a qns. My possible exposure which happened bout 3 months ago was at a spa had a very brief like less than a min oral and protected intercourse. The gal also sort of fingered my butthole before that which shocked me am i at any risk. I. went for the oraquick test at the 92 day mark the incident happened on the exam same date will that make a differnce to my result? I tested negative. Also i seem to have symptoms like a white tongue it is not thick or anything
Jus kinda white and this is freaking me out. Could this all be due to stress anxiety? Is a 3 months oraquick test reliable? I did the test at a clinic. Please help im super anxious.

You had NO RISK. Worrying after you've been told repeatedly you had no risk, is not normal.
thats kinda harsh im really worried lizzie. and btw im a guy dunno why im labelled as a gal though. So as a guy was what i was exposed to any risk? sorry for asking you might think that im being overtly worried which is true but i would think its normal that im worried.
Help help help i read that oraquick may not br as accurate and sometimes three months may not be conclusive can someone shed some lighr on this? I dun normally get sick so most likely my 3 months test is sufficient right? In what instances will antibodies onlu show up post 3 months?
Oral sex - No risk
Protected sex - Zero Risk
Fingering - Is not a risk.
92 days oraquick test - Conclusive
In short you have no HIV. You had no risk from that incident.

Thank you both herms and lizzie. I hope i can really put this aside. :) heres a smile. One more qns though what if the gal was a sex worker does it change my risk? Should i be worried? Sorry im jus have so many qns thats throbbing my minf
the SHORT version is...
a test done at the appropriate time TRUMPS any and all symptoms that you're experiencing.
kindly move on...you do not have hiv ! ! !

NOT HIV RELATED.
if you are having health concerns, see your dr. it has nothing to do with hiv.

Hi thanks lizzie, but wad about the white tongue it comes on and off but when its on its kinda hard for me to scrap off. Could this be stress im worried as im not a smoker which i read was a common cause for thrush.
you had NO risk and did NOT need testing.
for someone who actually had an exposure...3 months is considered conclusive.

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.

..you had NO risk, oral does NOT carry a risk and your intercourse was protected. Fingering, also does NOT carry as risk.

'..I. went for the oraquick test at the 92 day mark the incident happened on the exam same date will that make a differnce to my result?..'
--->You're negative, your test at 92 days(13 weeks) would have been final at this point, HAD you had an exposure. You didn't. Your immune system doesn't have a time and date stamp, so testing a day before or a day after doesn't make much of a difference.
'..Also i seem to have symptoms like a white tongue it is not thick or anything
Jus kinda white and this is freaking me out. Could this all be due to stress anxiety?..'
--->Most probably is.

'..Is a 3 months oraquick test reliable?..'
If you had an exposure, it sure would, you didn't!
Smile.

Stop worrying.
Always use a Condom, just like you did.
