Before Teak or lizzi.Kumar ofr somebody of that good people answer to you Zero risk mate .Dont worry.Relax
Dear tuzan, thanks for replying
does this mean that I should not go for test ?? As I am very confused and scared, after how many days I should go for testing to eliminate my anxiety??
Thanks again
You do not need a test.. You had no risk.. If you have not tested before it never hurts to do so just so you know...
since this was your first sexual encounter...there is no need to test as advised above.
nothing that you are describing put you at risk for hiv.
hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child
TRANSMISSION REQUIRES PENETRATION...as in penis in vagina / anus.
Thanks a lot Izzie
regards
Helpme.. All I was saying now that you are becoming sexually active.. Be careful and get educated on all sexual risks and always carry protection with you... As far as testing goes I am sure you see ads around saying get tested? I know you said this was your first time.. One rule of thumb is you never know when you will run into a girl who worries just like you are now.. Maybe she wont believe that you never have had sex.. Maybe she wants to know just for peace of mind that you are clean of ALL STDs...Some girls are like that and thats a good thing this day and time... Again never get caught in the heat of the moment when you do go to the next step without protection.....
I hope this clarifys me maybe leading you the wrong way... Goodluck..Stay safe!!
Mate you are great man,my full rekspert
Before ever having unprotected vaginal or anal sex make sure you both have not had unprotected vaginal or anal intercouse 3 months before testing and test together other than that make sure you use condoms correctly and consistently.
Thanks alot guys for your help and suggestions. It means a lot.
Best Regards
Today (after 10 days) i got myself tested with ELISA and my S/CO value came to be 0.09 (where reactive value >=1)
i was worried if my penis had some rashes or little cuts i may be affected. I think testing is the only way to remove anxiety that is killing me.
ok, well you have a negative test...accept it.
Today after 30 days i went for HIV duo Ab/Ag test and it was non-reactive(0.09).

sorry guys
just wanted to share results.
Take care
THE POSTER NEVER HAD A RISK AND DID NOT NEED TESTING ! ! ! ! !
The response at times may seem harsh but it is actually in the best interest of the poster. Allowing a poster to constantly question their test results or what constitutes a no-risk situation does not help them, it will only raise their anxiety.
In this thread the original poster did not even need to be tested, as it was a no risk situation. Opening up a discussion about the results of test that were not required will not help them.
There is also a seperate thread for HIV anxiety:
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/HIV-Anxiety-Support/show/595
Sometimes it is best to be gentle - but sometimes you need to be tough. I watched this site for a while before I started posting 'answers', and in that time I've seen people spiral into bad anxiety simply because they would not listen to facts.
WOW...i love it when someone just drops by...has no idea what this forum is even about...and starts judging ppl.
teak and i both have been on this site for more than 3 years...day in and day out.
if you had spent a little time reading, instead of judging...you might have figured out that 99% of the ppl who come here suffer from either ocd or anxiety disorder. we simply cant keep repeating ourselves to someone who is not capable of "hearing" and "accepting" what has been told to them. these same ppl, change their screen names repeatedly...only to ask the same damned questions over and over and over. these ppl need to MOVE ON and seek professional mental help for thier issues.
teak is probably the most well informed and valued poster on this forum. he doesnt need someone coming here, who doesnt know him or how THIS forum is run...and try to tell him how to answer questions. if medhelp had a problem with him...THEY would deal with him.
At this time, we are CLOSING this THREAD to future posts.
