Hello, doctor.
First, thank you for providing answers to HIV related questions at such a low cost on a public forum. My question is a simple one, and I'll get right to it:
I'm a young gay male. I get tested for HIV and other STDs about once per year, and I don't engage in anal sex. It's been about a year since my last test, so I'm going to go next week. I'd like to know what results I can expect.
Over the last year, I've met maybe five or six guys on Craigslist or Adam4Adam and sucked them off one or two times each. I understand that Internet hookups are risky in general, but there aren't that many fish in the sea around here and I get lonely. I try to mitigate the risk as much as possible. For instance, I've only met with guys who believe that they are HIV negative and I particularly avoid anyone who admits to barebacking. I never let a man ejaculate in my mouth, but some of the encounters were pretty rough; some insecure "straight" men get a kick out of that, I think.
I know that the risk for giving blow jobs is fairly low, but with anywhere from five to ten encounters, I'm a little anxious about my test results, perhaps unwarrantably. I'd appreciate your input. What do you anticipate?
