Negative DUO at 3 weeks - Teak/ExtremeStress
Negative p24 and negative Anitibody at 3 weeks. As I'm sure you recall, my exposure was cunnilingus (brief 5-15 seconds) and deep finger penetration (10-15) seconds with stripper/csw. She also grabbed my penis 2-5 seconds. Nothing further. You know I've been freaking out even with your kind reassuarance along the way that my risk was minimal at best.
Anyway, (lets pretend that you think I had a risk for the sake of numbers) how reliable is the 3 week DUO. I saw somebody else post that its about 90 % reliable. Do you agree with this. I'm def. going to test out at least 6 weeks wth antibody because otherwise I'll g crazy, but I have to say I'm starting to feel better about this. (I know your going to tell me "i told you so"). What are your thoughts? Am I at 90% reliability with testing alone?

Okay here it is. I just tested a big fat NEGATIVE at 45 days post exposure. What a relief, they freaked me out with their approach this time. In fact I was negative for entire STD panel again. I already feel more relaxed. With that being said...All Experts (Teak, RegJoe, Daveansh
,Extreme, Chris, etc) ...answer some questions for me to help bring me some closure
1) Is the test 98% reliable?
2) Given exposure and test results, would I basically be defying science if I tested positive beyond this point?
3) Should I test at 3 months?
4) With a negative STD panel at 11 days and 45 days, and no breakouts (herpes), is it conclusive that I don't have any STDs?
5) Can I without worry resume normal relations with GF
6 Did I highly over-react to this whole situation :) (be kind)
I would appreciate if as many as possible could answer because many of you have a different approach. Thanks to all. I don't want to say this is my last post because I don't know how the anxiety will shift once this initial relief has worn off. You have all been a crutch for me during this episode and I am enternally grateful.

Oh God. So scared. I called and they wouldn't give me results over phone. Doc is calling back. They didn't do this last time !!!
I am scared. Waiting on 45 day results which I should get back today. Not sure what to be feeling right now. I pray to God I've dodged the bullet. I'll post results once I get them.
tx mate...ya thats my only concern...i am not concerned bout the oral...whereas my unprotected insertive vaginal is a major risk and concern to me...i was foolish...and now m paying the price of it..i just hope that i wont have to pay the interest too...
I wish you the best of luck. I take it your mainly concerned because of the unprotected vaginal?
unprotected insertive vaginal and oral with a gal of unknown status..whom i met for the first time in a differrent country of mine...i try to give some hints that i may have hiv...but she trusts me so much that she cant think of this...she even brought me to a psy...i have told her i may have some illness but i am yet to know exactly what and lets wait for my final blood test on 7 nov...she is expecting me to do a complete checkup..she doesnt know i am going only for hiv test...
no....yet to resume normal relations with my wife..hopefully soon...in fact when i came back after the risk i thought i should be ok and i had relation with my wife...but since then i am more careful...
Best wishes to you. Your 7 week is looking pretty strong. Your reassurance is comforting. I have a personal question for you. Have you resumed normal relations with your wife? I am struggling with what to do in that area. I guess upon my 45 day negative (God willing) I will proceed to have a normal love life with my GF. I am terrified of potentially infecting her. All my best.

I am still in the waiting after my 7 weeks negative...i have been on this forum for a while now..lol..in fact today is 3 months exactly since i had my risk...but the doc told to me to come and get tested on 7 November....guess i am a bit scared..thats why i am not in a hurry to get myself tested..furthermore the biggest festival of my community is being celebrated on 9 November...i dont want any disturbance..just in case..also i am celebrating my 4th wedding anniversary on 29 October..so adding all these...i decided to test on the 7th November as being directed by my doc...so there it is..i am one of those people who have been waiting endlesslly for the 3 months to end..and now that its over...i am not in a hurry to get tested...life like that..i am still hoping for the best..but i still have that fear..u see...my major concern is due swelling i have at different places of the body....but i try to convince myself that symptoms mean nothing..lol...anyway...but for sur ur not at risk..enjoy life..and be careful henceforth..the risk is not worth taking...
Thanks Peekawho. First of all I don't typically find myself in these situations. Secondly my symtpoms all hit the documented timeframes. I know not to pay attention to the symptoms, but it has been hard not too. I don't think I would be freaking as much if I had never had a suymptom. I think I could have let this whole thing go. My exposure was exactly as stated (brief cunnilingus,deep fingering and she reached in pants and grabbed my penis briefly). Thirdly it was because it was on a stripper/CSW. She offered further sexual acts which then freaked me out during my dance. I woud imagine there is a high probability of her being infected. (although she wa high priced...$200 bor a BJ was what she quoted).
You are negative if your "exposure" was as you stated. You did not need a test to begin with. I'm sorry you are freaking out over this non-event.
Thanks buddy...I take it that you have a high confidence in my negativity? Totally agree on seeing a specialist...I felt lik I knew more about HIV than the guy I saw today. Hopefully I won't be down this road again so it won't matter. Daveansh - how is your situation progressing...? Are you in the clear?
see mate..ur test at 3 weeks is 95 % conclusive..and ur test at 6 weeks will be 98% conclusive...myself i believe...in regards to hiv its better to see specialist..at least they know what they are talking to you and know how to tackle ur fear..all the best..
Oh boy....When I got blood drawn the doc really freaked me out. I really think that general docs don't have much HIV knowledge. He said I had a high risk !! Please offer me some good reassurance right now. I still have to wait 2 days for results. I'm freaking again. What if I am the outlier...the one in 10,000.
It was just having fun at the club! Don't beat yourself up over it. You will be fine! When you get your negative go back to the club and do it again, because I'm going to miss writing to yah!
I def. wont. I didn't even mean too. Though I was getting standard lap dance at a strip club. Then she rubbed herself against my face and being drunk I let it happen. I then fingered her deeply for 10-15 seconds. Never meant or had intention for this to happen. I regret every minute of it and will not venture down that road again.
I am going to try and let it go once i get this 45 day test back. Until then...these net 3 days will be hell. What if, what if , what if. I'm terrified potentially for my GF as well. Anyway, thanks for comments, I'll let you know the results. Cross your fingers for me.
I had oral contact with vaginal fluid?? I think my oral health was good. I do chew tobacco occaisionally and had done so earlier that day. (an hour before dance).
ImStupid you need to quit worrying about it. As it was stated in the article, it is not conclusive that these people got it from just oral. And these are also guy on guy, not a guy licking *****! You are still no risk. You need to get off this computer and do some manly **** and watch Football. Saints are playing right now.
