Semen in mouth, should I test?
About 6 months ago went on vacation and had a BIT too much to drink... I met a guy at a bar, blah, blah.... Eventually we kissed and we ended up mutually masturbating by the end of the evening. Unfortunately, I got caught up in the moment and licked his penis after he came and I got a little semen in my mouth. Of course the next day I freaked out. I came back and had an HIV/STI test a week after and a long talk with the doctor, who told my she thought I had nothing to worry about. Everything came back negative (even thought I know HIV can take up to 4-6 weeks to appear in a blood test). So I got a HIV test at (40 days) almost 6 weeks, which came back negative as well. I am very healthy, rarely sick and have experienced no seroconversion symptoms. Should I be worried? Should I bother with another test?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Because your Dr clearly doesn't know much about HIV. Even if she was being cautious and said test at 3 months then I can see that. But the 6 month guideline has not been used in several years.
So why did my doctor believe I should take another test yesterday? She said I should take one at 6 months to confirm results. Wouldn't my 6 week test be long enough for HIV to show up?
hiv is not transmitted through oral sex...semen in the mouth or not.
no risk and no need for further testing.
