Accident

[NiloBleumont]

Hello,

It's me again. I know my concerns regarding hiv transmission via oral sex have been attended but I recently had an incident that I need to sort out and opens a new question in my mind...

About a week ago I received oral sex by the guy im seeing and afterwards i noticed I had a cut in my urethra area that might have been produced by my jeans zipper.

It had a little bit of blood and I noticed after I had oral sex done on me. In this case, what would be the risks? Lets say if he had a cut also in his mouth, wouldn't that be very risky?? He tells me his hiv negative but still, one never knows exactly

Please help!
Thank you

See your doctor not an HIV concern.

But Teak I understand, I just need to know about my stuffy nose symptom and some fatigue I've experienced now and then.

i'm sorry for insisting. I don't want to get kicked out or anything you guys are all I got. I never told you that all this time I've been experiencing stuffy nose. No cough or fever or any other flu-like symptoms. Im just wondering, in case of ARS, would the stuffy nose occuring on itslef be of HIV concern? Please answer me calmly, I beg for patience.

Not related to HIV as you had no risk and you have been advised of this several times,time to move on.

[Teak]

You never had an exposure.

Hi! I have a new question: about 8 weeks after my incident I had a general blood test and everything came out fine. My lymphocyte levels were very well on the normal range.

In case of an hiv infection, would this exam have shown something weird? Or it's not enough time for hiv to show this way?

There doesn't have to be blood in anal sex to allow for infection.  The tissue itself is a route of transmission.

Your anus is not even comparable to your mouth.

[NiloBleumont]

Just to have something clear, if copious amounts of blood are required for someone in the case I provided to be infected, how is it that unprotected insertive anal intercourse leads to infection then?

There are no copious amounts of blood in the anal area when it occurs.

My joints hurt sometimes and I have diarrhea (doctors say its IBS) but still I'm a nerve wreck here!! Do joint pains also last 2-4 weeks like all the other ars symptoms?

[nursegirl6572]

The type of "blood to blood" scenario that would constitute a risk would involve copious amounts of blood and severe injuries (injuries that would require emergent medical care/sutures).  

Let this go and move on!

[NiloBleumont]

Thank you,

But can someone tell me how much blood would've been enough? blood to blood transmits the virus ok? IT'S a well known and undiscussed fact!

[Teak]

Move along you were already advised that HIV is not transmitted in that manner.

[NiloBleumont]

Thanks... are you the one who wrote a huge post about how hiv is unlikely to be transmitted via oral? In that case, good job!

I have already read allot about the neutrilizing habilities of saliva, but you can't imagine how scared I got when I saw the blood, like, I'm the most freaked out person when it comes to sex and seeing that cut was not good...

Anyway, given that I had a cut, how much blood would've had to be present on my partner's mouth in order to pass infection?

[nursegirl6572]

Oral sex is not a risk, even with cuts or scrapes.
