Tast semen later ars
hello doctors.
8 weeks ago, i was at a gay crusing place. Here i had mutual mastubation with a man. He then come on my hand. Very stupid i tried to taste it, so i put my tounge on my hand were his semen was. It was a small volumme whitch only got on the tip on my tounge. And i make sure my mouth was open the hole time. Also before i tastet the semen i waitet about 10 to 20 seconds, because i know hiv "die" in air. I then whipped away the small amount of semen with my hand and then i gor as much saliva to my tounge, also because i know it attack hiv.
5 weeks after i came down with diarrhea. No fever or other ars thing. But i got me very worried because it lastet 16 days(after 4 days it was normal one day, but then again diarrhea). My doctor thinks it was because i ate some (i think) chicken one and half day before. But i dident tell him i thinked it could be ars.
Dear doctor.
1) How often do you see diarrhea be the only symptom of ars?
2) how often do ars begin so late(5 weeks last to 7 weeks post exposere)?
3) what do you think of my chance?
4) I will get a test this week - 8 weeks after. It a rapid test "determine hiv 1/2" but it is not fingerprick, but taken from a vein. Do you think this will be conclussiv?
5) i have been very very scared of hiv over the last couple of years, and been testet 10 time´s, all after very very low risk. But anytime i thinked "i can get hiv of this" it comes back and then all i can think of is that im infectet. So i have to have a test at a time where i am so close to be conclussiv, as you can be in medicin. When an wich test is that?
6)I dont know where to put my risk. Is it like oral with semen in mouth, althoug i did not suck this mans penis or is it like fingering, which you said no risk to?
Best regards

This information does not change my opinion or advice. You are not at risk for HIV from the exposure you have described.
The rapid blood tests are just as accurate as those done in a laboratory. It is true that 8 weeks is "as good as you can get".
"I just hope i get a negative reult, and if so that i can trust it and try to move on." You WILL get a negative result. But probably it will not help you move on. Phobias and other irrational fears do not go away just because of new evidence that they are irrational. Most people cannot overcome such abnormal fears without professional assistance. I hope you will do that.
Feel free to post your negative HIV test result, but I will not have any additional advice about it. Good luck.

I dont know if i read it wrong because of my poor english, or i might not have been very clear in what i wrote. Sorry in advance.
But i did not swallow his sem i only put my tounge in it. And after i whipped it away i make sure I spit it out, but it was a very very small amount which have been exposed to air for abot 20 second or so.
And it is a rapid test - a determine hiv 1 2, but they do it in a hospital, and they take the blood from venous bllod. The also do it on figerprick, but i have read that it is better or slightly more precies from venous bllod. What i can read is that almost all experts in hiv saids like you that 8 weeks almost as good as you can get.
I wil get testet monday or tuesday and will write my result. I Am so worried.
I know i am to affraid of hiv and I need to do something about it: It have been on my mind everyday about two years, and reading so much about hiv. I just hope i get a negative reult, and if so that i can trust it and try to move on.

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.
The sexual event you describe carried absolutely no risk for HIV. Your diarrhea a few weeks later has nothing to do with that event -- no way, no how, no chance. And your symptoms don't suggest ARS. Not only is diarrhea an unlikely ARS symptom, but it started too late. ARS symptoms always start within 3 weeks (usually 10 days) of catching the virus.
1) Diarrhea is rarely if ever the only symptom of ARS.
2) See above; ARS never begins so long after exposure.
3) Your chance of having HIV from that event? Zero. Swallowing semen carries little or no risk.
4) You don't need testing on account of this event, although I recommend you do it for reassurance from the negative result. A lab based blood test, on venous blood, is virtually 100% reliable at 8 weeks.
5) If you request a duo test, i.e. a test that detects both HIV antibody and p24 antigen, then you can have 100% conlcusive results at 4 weeks.
6) See above. No risk.
It is clear you are abnormally anxious about HIV, given the kinds of risk you describe. You might consider professional counseling about it. I suggest it out of compassion, not criticism. Abnormal fear of contagion can be an early sign of serious mental illness.
