Oral Sex Concern - Read if you have Oral Sex Exposure

Hello, my name is Mr. Knowledge, let's leave it there. I am in my 4th year of medical school and boy have we learn alot about HIV. Let me share my knowledge of HIV and other Infection Disease if possible.

I have notice majority of cases on the board are related to Received or Give Oral sex to opposite sex.

HIV is very hard virus to transfer, saliva has dozens of enzymes that actually prevents HIV walls from making it stronger, infect one of our studies in school showed that HIV not found in the saliva.

This is one reason why HIV is not transfer through Kissing, Protected Sex, Hug, Eating from each other etc...

Oral sex is no risk in terms of knowledge I have received. Medical Doctors will never admit that it's no risk, they will not mention 100% accuracy but they will say its low risk.

HIV should not be concern who has received or give HIV to opposite sex with or without condom. Period.

Following are reason why HIV is transfer:

Unprotected Sex
IV drug users

This pretty much sums it up.

Use condom for sex , and you won't have to worry about HIV.

Oral is no risk.

Please, don't post or create un-necessary threads regards to oral sex exposure.

Thank you
Mr_Knowledge

-The antibody component of the DUO is a diagnostic test in the US, the antigen assay is NOT. Obviously, the Antigen component is useful in the detection of acute infection.
- The Western Blot would be a confirmatory test.

As for what you wrote or didn't write, it's really academic at this point.

The above message was for the post where I was informed that I said that HIV DUO is confirmatory (which I never said).

Surprisingly that post and few other posts are now not present here.

Best wishes.

Hello

So where did I say that an HIV DUO is a confirmatory test?

I would be thankful for pointing out the statement where I said that it is a confirmatory test.

There is NO doubt that an HIV DUO is NOT a confirmatory test in the UK and I think not any where.

Western Blot, IFA etc. are used as confirmatory tests.

Best regards.
