Feeling miserable,people help me!(HIV POSSIBILITY)

[Jack_1245]

First of all I don't mean to be annoying or stupid,I am really worried like many others out there.I know with good advice from y'all Ill feel much better and I then could possibly move on with my life.
A few months ago,probably mid August(2013) I had sex with a chinese hooker after a party when I was really drunk and it was also my first time.There was vaginal sex and oral too.I didn't give her oral but I do remember fingering her.Since that night I've been so worried about me having HIV.
I remember shaving my scrotum that very day,I am also scared whether the virus could have traveled through open hair pores too after she licked my scrotum.I also do remember changing condoms during sex because one fell off and she then gave me a fresh one.I also remember not cleaning myself till the next morning after this encounter.
I have taken many rapid anti body tests since then.(I think they are the old gen tests),all tests were negative,
The last test I had was 9 weeks from my exposure and it was negative.oh I also didn't get any major symtomps.(I did have diarrhoea at random times)
I am not a person who sleeps around but that one night due to alcohol I made a very weak decision.I deeply regret it and pls guys,give me some good advice here.

Fear-mongering is everywhere & it will continue to happen.Many websites do this because they either don't update their information or they just simply have no knowledge about HIV transmission.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info. American media fear-mongering culture has petrified me of catching it. I just figure I should get the actual facts since they are available through informed folks, such as yourself. It's a great thing you all do.

When the virus is exposed to air it becomes inactive & unable to infect you.Transmission of HIV only takes place inside the body not outside it.With a syringe,the blood has not been exposed to air therefore it remains active.That's why sharing needles is high risk because the virus is still active,however on the tip of a syringe that's not always the case because that blood has been exposed to air & thus the virus has become inactive.

[NervousBones]

Do you mean the blood that would remain in the needle or would some have to be sucked into the actual vial and then injected into someone else?

I'm not an IV drug user, just curious how it seems to be an exponentially larger risk than unprotected vaginal intercourse, which would logically seem to be equally effective in transmission of the virus. But I am aware the statistics and scientific research don't back up my "logic."

[RainLover71]

There is no air inside a syringe therefore the virus is still active.

[NervousBones]

How can it live in a syringe, but not anywhere else outside of the host?

[Teak]

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Jack, there is no cause of concern.
