hiv through oral sex?

[jay81945]

hi doctor im writting this because i have no body eles to talk to this about. im 19 yrs old and i had PROTECTED sex with a female on may 9th. she gave me oral sex and i gave her oral sex without any protection. on june 17th i had a Swollen Lymp Node. I went to webmd.com and results came in to say that it can be a cause of HIV. This got me terrified. so the next day on june 18th i went for a HIV oral test. it came out Negative. after that i was realived. but then 2 weeks later i got a rash on my arm. i went to webmd AGAIN and found out that it can be a cause of HIV. Once again i got terrified. so i went on july 17th to get tested again with the oral test. once again it came out negative. the next day i went to my doctor to get an std check up which came out negative also. and once again on august 2nd i got tested again for an HIV oral test and it came out negative again. so on the 84th day after POSSIBLE EXPOSURE i got test and it came out negative. its september 3rd and i still think if i got it or not or if i shold get tested again. i need your help cause im thinking if its possible if my body doesnt produce any antibodies for the virus, or if its possibly hiding in my body.

There is no need to test period and definitely no need to retest.

I thought I would give you a longer answer so you can rest easy.  First of all the internet is a dangerous place stay away from any sites regarding risk for HIV or you will always think you have it and have an irrational fear of sex which would be a shame for a young guy to have.  

Oral sex poses no risk there has never been a reported case ever and the disease was first thought to have occured way back in 1959 and has been an epidemic for 25 years......you will not be the first.  In addition, saliva has a dozen or so proteins in it that disable  HIV even if blood were present.  lastly it has long been known that saliva, urine, tears and sweat do have HIV in them but not in anywhere close to the concentration required to transmit. You do not have it!

84 days negative test especially with no risk and several earlier negatives is 100% conclusive.  The oral tests do not give false negatives for all intents and purposes.  A false negative would only occur within the window meaning you tested too early.  You did, but followed up with a test a 12 weeks which was the correct thing to do.

If you still cannot get back to normal another test now is fine at september 3rd you are well beyond anyones definition of a window period.

You have a good head on your shoulders using condoms for anal and vaginal sex and staying away from injectable drugs will insure you a life free of HIV and most STDS.  I wish you all the best.

you did not get hiv, good luck to you. What may of have happen is , you probably had follocituis bacteria on your skin causing it rash.

First of all, you were never at risk to begin with.

Even if you would have had a risk...your tests are 100% proof you did not conotract HIV.  Time to put this behind you!
