US Military's HIV test

[tryingtolearn1979]

Does the US Military use an HIV Test that can detect HIV-1 and all subtypes to include CRF01_AE?

[tryingtolearn1979]

Teak I was asking if the test the US Military uses tests for HIV Subtypes CRF?

Then I asked about the risk involved with a love bite on the neck, getting slightly scratched by teeth, and a girl sitting on my hand.

I know I am stupid, and should know this stuff but so much on the internet is full of fearful misinformation.  I have been reading all the things about oral sex on here just trying to learn what the truth is.  The CDC says risk, Teak says no risk, Dr HHH says low risk to virtually no risk.  Then other sites talk about incertive vs. receptive, and everything inbetween.  and I just get confused and worried about everything because of my previous incident in Iraq and dealing with tramu and blood I now just get sever anxiety about HIV.  Then my anxiety spins out of control, I go into a panic attacks, then at night while I try and sleep I wake up in drenched in sweat from sleep panic attacks (which I never knew exsisted) or gasping for air.  I am talking with a mental health provider, but I still have so much anxiety.  And I feel hopeless and defeated by thoughts I know are irattional.  I just feel hopeless most of the day,  I made it through three tours of combat and now I can't even figure out what is a risk and what isn't.

Nick and Teak thank you for your help, and informing me about the reality of risks.  It means alot to have the advice of knowledgable subject matter experts who can help frightened and confused people like me.

Was there any risk? NONE AT ALL!!

They are not giving you false information about the test they give. Anyways you NEVER needed a test to start with.

[Teak]

Are you asking if the service tests for HIV?

[tryingtolearn1979]

I did, they say they do.  But, I felt they were just giving me a quick an easy answer.  I mean given the areas they deploy us too, I assume they do.  I am just still worried about exposure.  You told me "Move on" when I asked and to be honest that actually made me hopelessly sad that you would just blow off my question, and didn't care enough to give me a "you have no risk", or a "you have nothing to worry about, you can move on, it was no risk at all".  Instead you just slammed me.

  Can you please give me your assessment.

A Thai gogo girl gave me a love bite on the neck, she also gently used her teeth to scratch my neck, and with her outfit on (panties) she sat on my hand.  Was there any risk?

I was tested at 4 weeks and it was negative, I got tested yesterday as well, but it will take 3 weeks to get back,

Then if you want to know what tests they use, go to the medbay and ask.

[tryingtolearn1979]

Yes

[Teak]

Are you in the service?

[tryingtolearn1979]

How do you know this data?  Is there somewhere where I could see it?

[NickOne7]

YES

p.s. call the cdc and ask them they will know.

You would have to ask the people at the clinic doing the testing sir.
