to Teak and some other knowledgable people
Hi teak,
My case is indeed very similar to many others and especialyl the notorious "possible??" whom you might be remembering.
I met an asian girl (high risk). Didn't deep kiss or anything, just a lip-lip touch with drink transfer (beer, 5%) which
I spit at that instant only and when I looked at the spit there wasn't any visible blood.No hard spitting either, the drink probably just came out because of disgust. It still haunts me probably because of my guilt or there is actually some risk I don't know. There wasn't any other contact besides this.
It's been 11 days since then and I haven't had any symptoms as such except from day 3 to day 6 I had a bit of fever.
Do I have anything to worry about? I have seen at quite a few places that you, dr HHH have mentioned that kissing even with blood is no risk, virus can not survive in this drink and without blood the risk is zero but I still needed some reassuarance from experts like you.
Could you please tell me if my logic is correct and I indeed have no risk based on this exposure and I should move on?

haha, i do agree with all of them. the last post wasn't a question again. I just said why I worried so much, doesn't mean that I am worrying even right now.
Dude, you've had no less than 5 people tell you you didn't have a risk. If HIV was that easily transmittable 90% of the population would have it.
You came here because most of the people know more about HIV than you, yet you're not taking our advice. There's no maybe about it. You ARE over-reacting. Let it or get a therapist, we can do nothing more for you.

I won't be so freaked out had it been just a lip to lip kiss. And I also said that maybe I am over-reacting. My only concern was mouth to mouth drink transfer. I know that most of the people here know a lot more about HIV than I do which is why I came and asked here.
Get a therapist if you can't let this go. You didn't have a risk. Do you get this freaked out when you get in your car or step outside your door to get your mail?
