What is the problem

Dear Friends,

I really appreciate the support you folks give to the needy people like me.

This is my story I had a protected sex, Started to penetrate but stop after 6 to 8 secs due to some call on my mobile .with CSW whose HIV status is unknow and I assumed her she is HIV +Ve.

She is fingering her and she put the condom on me with same hand which she had some vaginal fluids.

After that no further play.

I have touched the condom and removed it and when I touched it I felt it was wet and my hand also become wet. I would have stopped there but, I had given full hand job on my uncircumsized with same vaginal fluid strained  hand.

Every one says in this forum this no RISK AT ALL! MOVE ON!.

Let me ask the question.

The NO RISK even applies:  even if there are micro craks and sore in the penis? Since I am uncricumsied definitly the vaginal fluid stayed under foreskin since I have not gone for wahing for next 6 hours.

I am in 5th Week and I have ulcer in mouth and given me enough pain in the neck (I have this for a week). And Have severe head ache and See my tounge filled with white when see in the morning after getting up from the bed and  Feverish feeling. These symptoms worried me.

I am loosing my concentration on work and peace with my family. My Wife is forcing for a sex, I am avoiding as she feed the kid. She getting anger and confused with me.

I am really confused and worried, about my risk? I am not sure a Test is Really Needed? or A test at 6 weeks is enough?  what type of testing suggested for me to clam or needed?

Thx
Kum

Whatever you think your problems are, are unrelated to HIV. You didn't have a risk. Seek professional mental help to deal with your guilt.

PS. God doesn't punish you or anyone else by contracting HIV.

Teak.

I took 1 month to understand my Risk is Zero. and since this is my first external encounter and my guilt said god will punish me for this act. My fear is totally a BS.
Just to get out of my guilt my Dr suggested a test and I knew I have over reacted with multiple tests. My Dr also given me some anti-depression tabs but I did not take it.

All my test at 6,7,8 weeks all came negative and 7 week PCR DNA also nagative. My Guilt of first encounter is gone. The lab also given me the assurance PCR DNA at 7 weeks is conclusive with a EIA at 8 weeks.

My new worries are for last one weeks after  my 6 week lab visit - I have itching all over my body and rashes in 4 places in my body really makes me to worry about needle reuse as it is HIV/AIDS clinic.

I knew for sure I will not at risk for HIV for the first case putting both No Risk and Test Results.

But I am keeping worring for last one week getting HIV from needle resue. You have mentioned no one will resuse.

But I have not seen him chaging the needle infornt of me.

I am sure if he had chnaged the needle - I am free of HIV. I am hoping the same.

TEAK,

DO I realy need to worry about HIV from needle resue. My maried life become a mess due to my acts.

THANKS : Anyways thanks for all members in this forum. From the day I have visited only this forum and this was very supportive and very knowledgeable people like Teak, Lizzie.  Not like other forums. People here talk the real facts.

As said in my other thread - My test at 6weeks ( 42 days after the incident) is negative. The councellor said no further testing need and you people also the same. I want to put this behind me and move on but due the below.

As of today I have completed 7 week. But since last two days I have fear at 99.7, infected tonsils, infected throat ( both pains), white tounge and unclers in mouth and tounge. IN past three years I ever had all at the same time.

I am really worried since i had un-protected sex with my wife after my 6 week test. Now I am thinking what is BS i have done. I use worry about my self but due to this I am totaly worried last two days.

I am going to the AIDS care hospital tomorrow. I am in deep worry.

once again...you did NOT have a risk for hiv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the answer to your swollen lymph nodes (if indeed they are truly swollen) is your tooth problems.

the diarrhea can be caused from numerous things...first on the list is anxiety in your case.  also taking antibiotics can cause upset stomach.

I have taken one 5 days of AMoxicilln and  Clavulanate Potassium tabels and mefenamic acid 500 mg for tooth tissue inflamation and the pain and inflamation is gone. After stopped I got pain in neck with sowllen lympnodes.

But for last two days again I have and now feel little pain in the neck but still I have swollen lymp nodes I can feel it. But no pain when I touch them. I have somtach upset for long time ( more than three weeks). I need to rest room 4 times a day.

A test at 40 days be considered as 5 week or 6 week. In my place we have only third generation testing is available.  Is PCR can be taken to shorten the window period.


Thanks.

thanks for sharing your experience. I understand from every one that protected is protected. Yes i See from many people test result.  When I pulled our as you said I should have zipped up and returned.
Over that I have done the hand job my slef with her vaginal fluid and I am uncircumzied - this worried me a lot. I hope you also had same exp.  Many said here many of symtoms are related to stress and helped me a lot.

Before I came to this forum ... infact i had looked for many sucidal techniques ... and acceidently came accros this form and I way ahead and my understanding is much more clear about 75% thanks for people in this forum. People suggested for for OCD reading I have done that.

But Except the hadn job and I am uncricumsied, this really worries and from this fear also I have come out and I am not sure I can not completely disregard this fact.

Thanks - Test At 40 days be considered as 5 week or 6 week.

how about this... I had relations with someone i met online in october, she seemed really slutty, that perhaps compared to your csw, the csw is probably much cleaner. I regret this myself, and hate myself for doing so... but what i want to say is this : Come the end of december, and i start feeling sweeling on my armpits... had a small/minor fever... had chills and body aches for a week.

my exposure was protected sex(anal) for a few minutes ( < 3 minutes ) and did not ejaculate. there was alot of hand play with my junk on her part, which i regret letting it happen, i should have justed zippered up.

well, since late december (26th), i persisted with the armpit aches ( i think they were tender lymphnodes ), and in the 2nd week of january, i had a swollen lymph node on my neck. i also remember seeing some white ulcer (canker sore?) sometime in november ( some days after i had gone to the dentist ). that's when i started coming to this site and everyone was telling me i had a low risk exposure.

so, these were my test results:

4 weeks : hiv negative.
13 weeks : hiv negative
14 weeks : hiv negative
24 weeks : hiv negative ; hav non-reactive ; hbv non reactive ; hcv non reactive

since dec 26th my armpit lymph nodes have finally subsided where i don't notice them anymore, but i still have the one on my neck... i could also have sworn i did have hiv... and from your symptoms, it sounds like mine were much harsher.

i don't think you were at risk... but, Teak already told you that.

neck pain is related with anxiety and stress a good massage will help with that, about the lymph nodes forget about it, 42 days is too late for ARS, and symptoms are useless

Your symptoms are anxiety driven the pain in the neck is caused by stress, and for the Hiv the symptoms means nothing, only 50% of hiv positive people had symptoms, so they arent reliable, your not risk exposure cannnot be the source of those symptoms, if you continue worried go an get tested right know, it only takes 20 minutes, and will give you some peace in your life, anyway I think you will need therapy for you anxiety and stress, you can find the neerest place to you for test at http://www.hivtest.org you can have free+anonymous+rapid test in just 20 minutes, by know 5 week the test is 90-95% accurate, so that toghether with your No risk you can be confident you dont have HIV.

There has never been a documented case of mutual masturbation transmision of HIv. so you wont be the first one, like Lizzie told you, search for help to cope with your fears, search for HIV Fear+OCD and you will find that the fear of hiv cases are more that the Hiv cases

Thanks for your comment.  

I am worried about my sore in mouth which is lasting for a week and pain in the neck and head ache. For this there might be N number of other resons and hoping the same.

You know thw pain I went through all these days are horrible. One loving family and other side worried about them and they should not be infected and who will take care of them in any worst happended.

I am not really worried about death or HIV. Worried about the world what thet talk and how they treat me.

Thanks for your suggestion and I am planning to meet therapist.

you have been told on this forum AND by dr. hook, that you were not at risk for acquiring hiv from the situation that you described.

we cant help you with the guilt that you are feeling...so maybe you should seek the help of a mental heath professional...a therapist...to talk through those feelings.

you do NOT have a hiv concern :)   put this behind you and move on with your life.
