Think about it?Are you that sure?

Hey everyone.

I know the queastion I will write my seem not needed, but what I ask for just think...I know that the possibilities are very slim, but can you always be so possitive?

To be brief.
I was with a prostitute 7 weeks ago. What happened is:

- I kissed her a bit on the lips. She had her lips closed i had my open.
- She gave me unprotected oral. That lasted a couple of minutes.
- I bit her lighty on the but.
- I kissed her breasts.
- No vissible blood at any point.

Durring the whole “give me pleasure” situation, my little (maybe not that little):) friend could not stand up. So what happened I just gave up and whent back home...it is actually quite sad... ( On the side I do have mouth problems because I had my wise tooths taken out 2 months ago. My teeth are getting misplaced now and I tend to bit my cheeks a lot and leave marks on them. Also have problems with lips because of the cold)

After that I had the following tests:

- chlamydia and gonoryha after 6 days.
- Hiv rapid test after 4 weeks. (HIV 1/2)
- Hiv rapid test after 6 weeks.  (HIV 1/2)

Besides that encounter my last encounter was in a steady relationship 4 months ago. Durring that time no sex (that is why the prostitute came up in my mind). So that rules everything out to the situation with the prostitute.

So.....being that I should be calm and sure that I did not get hiv from that encounter. I know the statistics and the possibilites. They are remote and neglible and at this point I would have a bigger chance of getting hit by a car when I walk out to a club tonight. I would let It go and I even did not think about it, till the moment I had the following symptoms after 6 weeks:

- sore throut
- stuffy nose
- small couth
- phlegm
- body aches
- a ulcer at the back of my mouth by the throut (It is a little raised and red)
- in all fatigue
- no fever

I know symtoms do not meen anything. Probably it is a sinus infection, especially when it is the season in Geneva where I am at. By the way they say in Switzerland recieving oral sex is no risk. The same was told to me by the nurses at the emergency and test center.

So...why do I still ask? Why am I still on this subject when I should have let it go. Whel it is those god damm symptoms and that god damm neglible risk mentioned on many pages. The “what if” I am that god damm “lucky one” that won the “lottery”. By the way I really am a stable peson, one that usually never worries.

So my question is: Do I still need testing after 3 months from the encounter? Maybe I should test for syphilis as well?

I know what you will answer....but are you 100 proc. sure I am safe from hiv from that encounter? Would you be confident if I would start sleeping with my former girlfriend again without protection? Are you sure that I will not put anyone at risk?

Please take a minute to think about it. For that I will be very grateful.

Saliva is not infectious. PERIOD...I don't care if their VL is in the millions. On top of that, saliva contains over 12 enzymes and proteins that inhibit the virus from being able to infect.

What I dont understand is why I hear recieving oral sex is not a risk. What if:

- the person was seroconvering
- that peson had small amounts of blood in her mouth

At that point the fluids in the mouth can be infectious..

[ExtremeStress]

what about the world wide study over the pas 20 years. 40+ million infected and not a single documented case fro just "ORAL". that seems pretty assuring, seeing they can't prove a single case out of 40 million.

[Kowalski]

sorry for the blabla bla above. What i meant is :

you can not rule out after that study, that it is impossible for out oral transmision to accur.

What is it that you don't understand?

[Kowalski]

That saliva durring seroconvertion can constitute a danger.
I no. I am not a blood donar:)
