HIV Routine Testing???
Hi,
what is meant by routine HIV testing? I am male. I slept with two CSW both unprotected and with 4 more girls though the sex was protected. My last exposure was 3 years ago. I have been tested for HIV 5 times, I know I could have gone with only one, but due to my anxiety I took 5. My l last test was 2 weeks ago. Do i need routine HIV test? I dont understand. Does this apply to me?

No HIV is not classified as just an STD. HIV can be spread by injecting drugs , mother to child.
Yeah I know, actually HIV is also part of STD. That's why I was specifically asking for HIV routine testing, considering the fact you have exposures with multiple partners.
What didn't you get? You don't know what STDs are?
Sorry to bother you and ask you the same question:
It isn't testing for HIV, it's testing for STDs.
Can you explain this, I didnt get it?
Sorry again if I am asking briefly.

They haven't used 6 months since 2004.
But even for that 3 month test is conclusive since the last exposure. Does not matter if some one has slept with 100 women in the past 3 months. 3 months, maximum 6 months is conclusive right?
"These people have that many partners in one week.", I got this you mean even after testing for HIV, if they regularly involve in this activity then they should be testing annually?

These people have that many partners in one week.
Thanks for the reply Teak,
You mean if they involve in sex activities with multiple different partners in present or in the past too? As I was involved with 3-4 girls. This thing is quite confusing, if you can put light on this.
Thanks.

For people that have multiple different partners.
Thanks Teak for your reply,
Can you just explain like for whom that guideline applies?
I was worried as they say for those who have had sexual intercourse with multiple partners.
Was just curious about this, considering the fact 3 month test is conclusive.
