several questions
Hi, i wanna know:
How much blood or vaginal fluid does it take to have a minimum chance of being infected with hiv.
How can i tell if im having night sweats.
Hipotheticaly, can i get hiv if i touch vaginal fluids, then rub them in my partners body, and i lick it?
how long after a person has had ARS will show positive on elisa.

And when I say "at any risk" I mean that. Blood was the main fluid in this test I refer to and we already know that Oral Sex is low-to-no risk (pretty much NO RISK!) and thats according to the CDC!
So, anyway, drop or not pulsar was at no real risk from the exposure described from what I have been told.

Well, my doctor told me that you would need to put your hand in some blood (or semen or vaginal fluid) and smear it in your eyes or mouth in order to be at any risk.
Also...as people have reassured me here and as my own research confirms - the HIV virus cant survive long outside the body. A few hours at best. 7 at most according to one 'test' article that I read. Most probably less than that. The lab tests described in the article used far greater quantaties of virus than are really found in human beings anyway, so the chances of risk from the sort of exposure described above are really slim.

TRUE nightsweats are caused by high fevers that break during the night as your body temp cools. I am sure you've had them if you've ever had the flu.
I recently had mono and I had high fevers and I would wake up in the middle night absolutely drenched in sweat, I am talking wet sheets, my shirt was soaked, my hair was wet and there was pools of sweat on my stomach. Yuck. What I just described is a Nightsweat.
If you dont have a high fever, then its not a nightsweat.

I read somewhere that even though a drop puts you at risk, it's typical that one would need large quantities of a virus to be high risk for infection.
