Negative DUO at 3 weeks - Teak/ExtremeStress

[ImStupid]

Negative p24 and negative Anitibody at 3 weeks.  As I'm sure you recall,  my exposure was cunnilingus (brief 5-15 seconds) and deep finger penetration (10-15) seconds with stripper/csw.  She also grabbed my penis 2-5 seconds.  Nothing further.  You know I've been freaking out even with your kind reassuarance along the way that my risk was minimal at best.

Anyway, (lets pretend that you think I had a risk for the sake of numbers) how reliable is the 3 week DUO.  I saw somebody else post that its about 90 % reliable.  Do you agree with this.  I'm def. going to test out at least 6 weeks wth antibody because otherwise I'll g crazy, but I have to say I'm starting to feel better about this. (I know your going to tell me "i told you so").  What are your thoughts?  Am I at 90% reliability with testing alone?

unprotected insertive vaginal and oral with a gal of unknown status..whom i met for the first time in a differrent country of mine...i try to give some hints that i may have hiv...but she trusts me so much that she cant think of this...she even brought me to a psy...i have told her i may have some illness but i am yet to know exactly what and lets wait for my final blood test on 7 nov...she is expecting me to do a complete checkup..she doesnt know i am going only for hiv test...

Is she not suspicious? or have you told her?  What was your risk again?

no....yet to resume normal relations with my wife..hopefully soon...in fact when i came back after the risk i thought i should be ok and i had relation with my wife...but since then i am more careful...

Best wishes to you.  Your 7 week is looking pretty strong.  Your reassurance is comforting.  I have a personal question for you.  Have you resumed normal relations with your wife?  I am struggling with what to do in that area.  I guess upon my 45 day negative (God willing) I will proceed to have a normal love life with my GF.  I am terrified of potentially infecting her.  All my best.

I am still in the waiting after my 7 weeks negative...i have been on this forum for a while now..lol..in fact today is 3 months exactly since i had my risk...but the doc told to me to come and get tested on 7 November....guess i am a bit scared..thats why i am not in a hurry to get myself tested..furthermore the biggest festival of my community is being celebrated on 9 November...i dont want any disturbance..just in case..also i am celebrating my 4th wedding anniversary on 29 October..so adding all these...i decided to test on the 7th November as being directed by my doc...so there it is..i am one of those people who have been waiting endlesslly for the 3 months to end..and now that its over...i am not in a hurry to get tested...life like that..i am still hoping for the best..but i still have that fear..u see...my major concern is due swelling i have at different places of the body....but i try to convince myself that symptoms mean nothing..lol...anyway...but for sur ur not at risk..enjoy life..and be careful henceforth..the risk is not worth taking...

Thanks Peekawho.  First of all I don't typically find myself in these situations.  Secondly my symtpoms all hit the documented timeframes.  I know not to pay attention to the symptoms, but it has been hard not too.  I don't think I would be freaking as much if I had never had a suymptom.  I think I could have let this whole thing go.  My exposure was exactly as stated (brief cunnilingus,deep fingering and she reached in pants and grabbed my penis briefly).  Thirdly it was because it was on a stripper/CSW.  She offered further sexual acts which then freaked me out during my dance.  I woud imagine there is a high probability of her being infected.  (although she wa high priced...$200 bor a BJ was what she quoted).
