Unprotected Oral Sex and Protected Vaginal Sex

Dear Doctor,
         Excuse me for my disturbance. I have posted 2 questions in the Hiv Prevention Community,"Another question for unprotected oral sex"and“WHO's opinion about the unprotected oral sex”. I know your answer is going to be consistent with Teak's. And I also know only testing result can release me. But I am still so afraid to go for testing because I haven't prepared for the future if I am infected. I always dreams for  receiving treatment at a developed country even if I know it's impossible.
         I just want you to analysize my risk  in theory. Thank you in advance,Dear Doctor.

Welcome to our Forum.  You have asked a question that has already been answered by Teak and others on the HIV Prevention Community site.  In that answer, Teak has not only provided you with direct quotes from me and from Dr. Handsfield but published papers in the scientific literature.  Despite that, you have asked the same question.  I have nothing to add- there has never been a case of HIV proven to be spread from an person to another through the receipt of oral sex.  Asking the question repeatedly will not change the answer, nor will it keep people from making incorrect or overly conservative statements on the internet.  Please remember, Albert Einstein said "One definition of insanity to to repeatedly ask  the same question and expect different answers.".

For you the answer is to test.  There is no reason for you to fear testing. None of the symptoms you mention are suggestive of HIV.  As for testing, Testing does not give a person HIV but it does give them the power to know what is going on and whether or not they have the infection.  Most tests are negative and if you were so unfortunate as to have HIV, the test would allow you to seek treatment sooner.  There is no reason to delay or avoid HIV testing.

I hope this reply is helpful to you.  EWH

Correct, I anticipate that the HIV test will be negative. EWH

Thank you,Doctor Edward. I will go  to the CDC for a fast-testing. Mental Hiv may be more serious than Hiv itself. No doubt the result will be negative,right?
