blood splash
I recently had a exposure to HIV positive blood in my mouth. I am very concerned about contracting HIV especially since i have open areas over my wisdom teeth and may have swallowed some of the blood. what are the chances of HIV psoitive blood infecting me through this route? Also I have no access to rapid testing, so when is the soonest i will have a positive result, and the latest?? (ex. 3mo)??
thanks

#1...you had NO risk
#2...if someone had actually been infected...ars symptoms would come at 2-4 WEEKS after infection
#3...you dont have peripheral neuropathy...lol...stop trying to self diagnose yourself.
if you are having health problems...see your doctor. IT'S NOT HIV RELATED.

Test is a waste of $...no risk no need to test.
** i mean i have 3-4 weeks before my 6 WEEK test, sorry my mistake :S

3 months is a conclusive result from an actual risk not 6 months. But you had no risk to begin with.
i'm just worried because i had a sore throat 2-3 days after my exposure and it lasted one week, I feel like I have muscle pain/joint pain, periphreal neuopathy, and night sweats.... I'm so anxious i'm driving everyone around me crazy, including myself and i still have another 3-4 weeks before my 6 month test....
How does one encounter blood splashes in everyday life?
Zero.
