thanks Rainlover and Teak. I'll put my whole trust to your assessments.
I'm 110% sure--move on please.
thanks Teak. are you 100% sure about it?
over all, you're all trying to say that performing oral sex, and fingering is not a risk regardless of other circumstances such as wounds, cold sores, etc?
Fingering with a wound is zero risk.I think you are very anxious but for no reason--you had no risk.
Thank you rainlover. I would just like to ask the risk of the fingering with a wound? I developed itchy rashes in my legs. I dunno if this is due to anxiety issues.
No risk because there was no unprotected penetration.
Hello. I would just like to ask about my recent exposure to another stranger:
-He rubbed his penis in my anus but there was NO penetration involved. I am just scared if his precum went inside my anus.
-He fingered me and I fingered him. However, I had a wound in my finger during that time.
Please do help. :(
Not an HIV concern as you've been previously told.
hey I'm starting to get a cough again. I dunno if this is pneumonia again. :(
do I have to worry about my last exposure? am I really no risk? my paranoia is starting to hit me again. :((
by the way, I assure to you that I NEVER participate in any anal penetrative. I don't also do drugs, smoke, and drink. I'm 100% certain about it. I only just perform oral sex. Please do help :(
Thanks zamzam4. I was just curious if there will be an effect/risk in oral sex if saliva was not present
No it would not be considered a risk, what you read on aidsmeds is correct. They base their answers on peered reviewed scientific research and give out excellent advice.
Hi everyone. I just read from aidsmeds that oral sex is not a risk since saliva contains dozens of protein of enzymes. What if a person performed oral sex with a mouth sore and during that time his whole mouth was dry. Will it still be considered no risk?
Thanks. What I can assure to you is that I never engaged myself into anal sex (protected/unprotected), alcohol and drugs.
Testing is not necessary, oral sex is not a risk.
Pneumonia is very common, it has nothing to do with HIV. You are thinking about PCP Pneumonia, asssociated with AIDS. That occurs very late, in advanced infection when a person has transitioned to an "AIDS" diagnosis from being HIV infected.
You don't have PCP Pneumonia, and you never had a risk for HIV. Put it behind you.
Receptive oral sex (your case) is considered low to very low risk according most health institutions in the world. As you didn't swallow semen, the risk of contracting HIV in this scenario is highly unlikely.
Most people on this forum wouldn't recommend testing, however, most health institutions would advice to do it. Therefore, the decision is entirely up to you.
Stop giving out incorrect information. There is no reason what so ever for the OP to get tested.
very unlikely. i would get tested at 6 weeks just to make sure. so far no one has gotten hiv though oral sex since the saliva neutralizes the virus. so you can deff expect a negative result
No it has nothing to do with it.
Is there any other people there who can give opinions with regards to my exposure?
Dear Experts,
Does my pneumonia has nothing to do with my previous unprotected oral sex? (in relation to HIV)
