Gave oral sex in January
For a year leading up to January o had given unprotected oral sex to dozens of men ibhopked up with via craigslist, not knowing their status, and it's all been a huge regret. I got tested for the first time Jan 28 with a lab test, followed by a negative lab test on March 28, a 3rd gen. On May 13, I tested negative on a 4th gen ag/ab test ( I understand the antigen portion is moot after a month but this is the only test available) by quest diagnostics. Since then, I've tested negative on about 5 rapid finger prick tests (unigold and oraquick advance) at clinics. My gp doc wants me to test again at 6 months. I was also recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. Could this be considered an immunodeficiency problem that could delay seroconversion? I understand oral is low risk but there have been instances of transmission this way according to sites. Cdc hotline still recommends 6 month testing. what are th e odds that I can turn pos at 6 months?
Your tests were good at the 4 week mark. Use condoms always even for oral.
Fear did a number on me. Can't wait to be past this. Thanks for all the help, gang.
You did not need to test in the first place .
Ah okay. Thank you James. Was scolded by a few hotlines today because of my anxiety.approaching the 6 month mark on Monday.Jan 13-July 13
You would know because you would have a condition that would've been indentified when you were young
Okay. It's just tough to figure out what is meant by a badly damaged immune system. is it specific?
