They didn't contract HIV in the situation they provided. Like Dr. H said. "They didn't have a risk."

The dr told him on his last post only to come back if he tested positive, otherwise no more posts !! Do you read alot of threads out here that are just bogus and completely untruthful ???

i mean...i hate to say this...but...this is total bullsh*t.   this guy is lying about #1...this being his only exposure or #2...he tested positive.   is he trying to convince us that he got the call...just hung up...but ran to the forum to find out what to do????????  i think not.

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.

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

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...

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.

At the risk of boring everyone again, my husband lied to each and every one of his doctors as to how he aquired HepC.  Since he seems honest, has a good job, clean cut, and is in general a likeable guy, they assume he is telling the truth.  This has gone on for a decade now.

Only I know he is a former IV drug user.  To his doctors, he's one of the "rare" sexually transmitted or unknown transmission cases.  

If he can lie, I know others can lie.  They don't want people to know the truth about how something was aquired.

Why would he lie under an anonymous internet name?  What did he have to gain by lying about his exposure when he was coming to the site (paying 15 bucks) and looking for help?  He was only hurting himself by lying to the doc about his exposure.  He came here BEFORE he knew he was HIV positive.

He was so convinced he was positive that he felt he couldn't admit he was wrong, that's what I think.

If that was his only risk, then he either lied about the result, or misunderstood that it was an unconfirmed test.  

Anyone who comes on here spreading doom and gloom, saying things like they are 100% sure they are positive, and have 9000 symptoms, rarely are.

I agree that its more likely he lied about the Positive result than the exposure.  Scary nonetheless.  Did he ever post in this "patient to patient" forum?  I would be curious to compare threads.

fyi as well: http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=16911.0

he was posting on aidsmeds as well. Just reiterates the fact that I don't think that someone truly HIV positive will take the time to post on multiple forums when they find out theyre positive...

Doesnt make much sense to me

furthermore, there are FAR too many symptoms in his post to warrant HIV infection. It seems like he is going down each and every symptom (and adding new ones) as he goes along. I personally believe he is hysterical and doesn't want to admit his test came back negative.

I hope he is lying and his tests are negative. I also had sore throat, fever,nasal congetion and rashes after protective sex. Waiting for 28 day mark for pcr test. I know flue can also cause all this. Hope for the best.

I suppose condom could have broken, then I suppose there is a realistic risk (2 CSWs)..... Don't think exposure was from his Oral, blister or "Protected" sex.  Must have been condom failure if he is telling the Truth...
