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?

thanks a lot. i was a bit worried only because of the drink transfer from mouth to mouth. i spit it out immediately but who knows if something was left inside.
You didn't have an "exposure" whatsoever. You need to educate yourself about how HIV is transmitted. It isn't transmitted via kissing, casual contact, such as sharing drinks, eating with the same utensils, shaking hands (even WITH a dastardly cut/chapped skin/blister, etc etc).
If you cannot move past this on your own....please seek some preofessional help....as it's obvious the anxiety is getting the best of you.

Please learn about hiv, what you said is a ZERO; ZIP NADA, RISK
hey,
thanks a lot. i don't know why can't i put this behind and go ahead.
i hope most of the people here agree with you that my exposure was indeed a zero risk one.

calm down...it's not even 7 a.m. here.
no risk...none...no ifs, and, or buts about it.
hiv is transmitted through unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse...sharing iv drug works...mother to child.
move on...you do not have a hiv concern :)

Are my doubts and risks so non-sensical that people don't want to reply?
