Thats kind of scary...I put the timeframe together and it looks like he tested positive (if not lying ) under 40 days (probably less as it was home test so probably under 35 days).  Also, who knows if he would have tested positive sooner had he taken an earlier test.

If you truly can get it from receiving oral as a man...than certainly you can get it by performing oral on a woman.  I do agree that that entire thread has holes in it.  I hope he comes back with further info.

Ya as to what i have read and to what my doc told me..its very difficult for female to transfer hiv to a male(i got my second chance after doing something as stupid as this)...but there is a risk....it does not happen always but it may happen...thats why protection is the best way to avoid hiv...

I just thought that there were no documented cases of hiv transmitting thru oral sex, like i heard that unprotected sex female to male is a very rare occurence and mostly happens in subsaharan countries where viral loads are higher due to lack of medicine and other such things .. I am sure i am  proably incorrect though

if someone found out they were pos, they would NOT run to a forum and ask questions, seems like hes trying to stir up drama. I agree with Lizzie completely. Furthermore, the folks at aidsmeds also maintain that oral is minimal risk. I agree that there is a miniscule risk, but I don't know if there are a significant amount of cases to warrant calling it a true risk. Who knows.
