Risk or not risk

[Broken_Halo]

I realize that 1/10000 compared to a 1/20000 risk regarding oral exposure is immaterial, but nonetheless, it IS a risk that the fine doctors quote on this website. Some experts, I have read, say none at all, such as UC Berkeley HIV experts and other Ivy league directors of infectious diseases.  What does everyone here think?  In regards to my exposure, I had an approx 3-4 minute oral on a woman's cliterous who's secretions were not plentiful at all...

You didn't have a risk and you were advised and YOU didn't read or pay attention to what Lizzie had already told you.

Good, im glad to see you finally are on the same page and you are reading my numbers correctly.  Furthermore, when the doctors mean statistically immaterial,  they are comparing the two separate odds.  For instance, when they quote either 1/10,000 or 1/20,000....they say the difference is immaterial because no matter how you slice it, its a very small risk.   NOT in the context that oral is "statistically immaterial" meaning it does not even need to be considered.

You want to test for a NO RISK issue have at it, I could care less.

did you miss this?  "(the oral sex is statistically immaterial)".

That comment does nothing for your argument.  If you will PLEASE scroll up and see what I originally wrote.  I stated that the doctors give a 1 in 10000  for oral and wanted to see what everyone else thought about those odds.  BUT THEN YOU, obviously misread my original odds and thought i typed for 1/1000 for oral.  And then you go and quote Dr. Hook on a topic that is wholly unrelated to my original question.

Now lets recap for clarification: I said, "I realize that 1/10,000 compared to a 1/20,000 risk regarding oral exposure is immaterial..."

You said: "for starters...you've got your odds wrong.  that is the quoted odds for having unprotected intercourse with a woman."

No, I didnt get my odds wrong

READ THIS ! ! !

FROM DOCTOR HOOK:
You can only be "the 1 in 1000 if your partner had HIV and that is most unlikely.  Your partner is almost certain not to have HIV and, even if she did, your chances of getting HIV from a single exposure are less than 1 in 1000 (the oral sex is statistically immaterial).  Thus even before you got tested, your risk of HIV was probably less than 1 in 100,000, at most.   I agree with everything your doctor has said and when you get your result back from your 4 week test you will effectively know that you did not get HIV.  The results of the 4 week test would detect 85-90% of infections acquired 4 weeks earlier and when combined with the low risk to start with , will effectively rule out the possibility that you have HIV.

Ummm no, if you can READ those numbers correctly...those are 10,000 and 20,000 not 1000 and 2000 which the doctors quote for a single act of unprotected intercourse

[LIZZIE LOU]

for starters...you've got your odds wrong.  that is the quoted odds for having unprotected intercourse with a woman.

if you have read anything on this site...you would know what we are going to say about oral sex.
