hi

i went for a third and final test eight months after my oral sex exposure, at a VCTC on saturday. it came out negative thru a capillus method. since yesterday i have developed low grade fever with cold and sore throat and pain in stomach and face. i am afraid that i have contracted hiv as i did not check if they used a fresh needle to draw my blood as i did check the last two times. this is also a hiv treatment centre so most of the patients were hiv+. today i called the centre and they said that they used a fresh needle for me. i know most of you all will say that these days VCTC's use disposal needle but what am coming from is what if there was a mistake. to be honest i did not see blood on it but how can be sure about the inner part f the needle. you really cant see inside? have i put myself at risk again... can i acquire HIV like this? somebody please help. my worry is the feevr and other symptoms...can i be so unlucky in life? teak, ausguy please help

there is no risk and you need to move on. If i were you I would be more worried about likely infections such as herpes.

Virus getting through urethra/foreskin/sores, what else...
But saliva doesn't carry much infectious HIV, so this may have never happened before and might never happen in the future.  If that is your only risk, I wouldn't worry.

Nobody has ever been proven to be infected by receiving head, few such claims were never substantiated.  You can choose to believe people like worried93 here, but I have reasons to believe that he is lying.

teak- where is this "scientific evidence" of 100% no risk?

joey- i agree with you, but teak and everyone at aidsmeds says its 100% no risk
so if it is low risk, whats the mode of transmission to the insertive party?

Nobody sane considers oral sex "100% no risk".
Scientific data shows that it is very low risk, especially for the receiving party.
