Question

[Oil with BM]

you may or may not remember me, nutcase?!? is what i posted under before.  9 week eia hiv was also negative so i feel pretty comfortable with that.  However, i have posted to the gi forum under this username and will be following up with my doc next week, in the meantime i wanted to know what my risk of hep b or c would be with a one night stand with a woman of unknown status, unsafe, no anal only vaginal.  Honestly i am not overly concerned with it, due to the fact that i remember the "oil" in bm before this situation.  The "night sweats" are not around anymore, or at least not noticeable, i don't think i have had a fever, if my memory serves correctly i know when i have a fever due to feeling like crud.  I have lost about 20 - 25 lbs, and i did go to mexico (cancun pre hurricane) in September.  I was a heavy drinker for the previous 2 1/2 - 3 years, about 5 vodka (strong) a day almost everyday, have since cut back to a few a week.  Anyway, getting to long winded, just wanted to know your opinion on the hep risk from the one night stand.

There was no measurable risk of hepatitis.

You may not post again on either this or the HIV prevention forum, on any topic or with any username, for at least 6 months.

I'd like to comment on this post... but what are you referring to as

"oil in the bm" ?

oil in the anus/buttocks area?

[nutcase?!?]

that nick/user name came about from my question in the gastro section.  I thought the doc might read that post as well, but i have obviously worn out my welcome.  the oil with bm is bowel movement, when i defecate their is a distinct "oil slick" on the water in the bowl and i have had one shocking pale movement, which is where the liver/hep came to my mind.  This will probably be removed by the good doc cause i am a nutcase.

Oil on a regular basis, and not just on one or two isolated occasions, would be characteristic of a malabsorption disorder. In that case, you should see a GI. (No relationship with any STD.) Good luck.

Doctor and to anyone else:

Why is there no measurable risk of hepatitis B? It is a fairly common STD (1 out of 20 people have had hepatitis B).  Is vaginal intercourse not a clear enough route for the virus to travel?

[nutcase?!?]

Kinda wondered the same thing, my guess is that the good dr. thinks I am nuts and is blowing me off.  I can't say that he is wrong about the nuts part, but "no measurable risk" is a strange answer considering the prevelance of hbv in the U.S., i have read plenty about hcv that concurs with his statement.
