I looked up a clinic right next to my work. They offer FREE HIV testing. Considering it was FREE, I went by and in 15 minutes had a negative Clear View finger prick test result! Officially, 4.5 weeks past my last exposure, but 5 < for all others. The one I'm especially worried about is the 5 week one, so this is great news in my mind. In fact, 2 of the 4 are marked off the list completely in my mind considering durations of 6.5, and 7.5 weeks.
I have tested at Action for Aids in DSC Clinic Singapore using rapid blood testing at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 5 months, and at 11 months post exposure and it all came back negative.
My question is. Can I rely on this results and finally move on with my life. It is almost a year and 2 months since that stupid mistake happened and just now I have a severe headache runs for almost 2 weeks and I tend to
co-relate these symptoms to HIV?
Please advise.
Many Thanks.
Condom broke with a street hooker what are my chances of catching something i stay in Houston she was AA and she was dry and immediately pulled away i didn't notice any bruising and Im married with kids
Welcome to the HIV forum. The identical questions have been asked and answered innumerable times, so my replies are brief (see the information in the Disclaimer message).
You describe a female partner who almost certainly does not have HIV. And when a woman has HIV, the chance of transmission by unprotected vaginal sex averages once for ever 2,000 episodes of intercourse. Symptoms never are useful indicators of new HIV infection, and it sounds like you juust caught a cold.
That is okay. But don't over worry. The best test at this time is the 4th generation duo assay. That checks antlgen and antibody. And, for this test around 40 days is the best time to detect both. If you are clear from that test you don't have to worry. I am not sure about these quick tests . They do have about 90 some percent accuracy provided you do them the right way if it is a take home type.
What is the chances that I have contracted HIV from this encounter? I am from Houston. I have been trying to calm down as I see everyone even the Dr.'s previous posts say condom protected sex is not a risk but seem to have HIV on my mind constantly. With a negative rapid test being maybe 90% accurate at 4 weeks does that lower my chances of having caught anything?
The tests prove beyond all doubt that you did not catch HIV. Believe the results. You are home free and do not need any additional testing.
And by the way, you had a low risk exposure anyway; it is very unlikely your parter has HIV; and even if she did, oral sex is zero risk for all practical purposes. And your symptoms don't sound HIV either.
Please stop worrying. You don't have HIV.
My "encounters" I know would be classed as zero risk activities on this and other respected forums, but anxiety leads me to probably having to test for peace of mind.
French kissing (multiple) events
Mutual masturbation
Protected oral (receiving)
No penetrative sex
Events occurred over a 3 month period with various sex workers, with the last being 30 days ago.
I have not had any testing since that time and am concerned that my disease may be progressing without my knowlege. I do not have any insurance at this time, and our familey earns too much to qualify for any govt medical help. Are there any testing/tx programs available for people in my situation at a reduced cost?
I'd like to get an HIV blood test at a free clinic in my area that provides anonymous testing. My question is simple, when should I go get tested? I've read conflicting information on this site and others. Some posts indicate you need to wait 5-6 months before the antibodies build up to a detectable level. Others have said you can get a 100% accurate test after 4 weeks. The incident I'm particularly concerned about happened mid-October.
Yes you are free, you never even had a risk. Seriously how do you even think you could get infected from a handjob?
Hello there,
I just read your comments. You say your husband has allergy issues in certain parts of Houston. What kinds of allergy issues does he have ?
Has your husband ever had allergy tests given by an allergist ?
Does your husband have asthma by any chance? You ask if anyone can tell you what areas in the Greater Houston area are more allergen free.
I think it would depend on what your husband is allergic to.
