hiv

Avatar m tn Hello I went to the CDC hospital exsanguinate, many patients with HIV. Give me is a patient nurse before spray disinfection before my arm is alcohol, After the blood, cotton without blocking the wound I didn't notice. I clamping arm. Three minutes later I open arms found inside there was blood everywhere, I hate to worry. If the nurse's hand contact with the patients in front of the body fluids, and contact with my arm inside, I'll infection?.
Avatar n tn CDC mentioned heterosexual (male-female) contact as a High risk Activity..., I asked them what they mean by heterosexual (male-female) contact, their reply was "Heterosexual (male-female) sexual contact includes both vaginal/anal intercourse and genital-to-genital contact between a man and a woman." This answer is quite confusing to me, since i read that genital contact is low risk activity... Please see below mail snippits..
Avatar m tn i had asked the cdc about getting hiv from coming in contact with someone else's blood (my case---shaking hands with a person who had a cut, and then i notice i had a small scab not completely healed where our hands met). the cdc tells me this is a risk and i proceed to freak out. yet from my research, the hiv virus doesnt transmit OUTSIDE the body, right??? even in my situation. why is the cdc this way, do they want to freak people out??? anyone else notice this about them???
1084114 tn?1302079830 it was a question that still has not been answered!! WHY DOES THE CDC SAY THAT THERE HAVE BEEN CASES WHERE HIV HAS BEEN TRANSMITTED THORUGH ORAL SEX WHEN YOU GUYS SAY THAT IT HAS NOT!!!! that was the question... this has nothing to do with me it has something to do with all of us on here that look to you guys for support and for valid information and the minute someone questions your validity you guys want to block us and make us feel like we are crazy!!!! so yet again?
5054727 tn?1362955307 According to CDC, performing blowjob on a male isn't a risk-free activity, it's "low risk and test recommended. But you say it's "zero risk." I don't know what to do know. Help please.
Avatar m tn Thank you for your inquiry to CDC-INFO. We apologize for not responding promptly to your e-mail. Our response time has slowed because of a recent high volume of inquiries. While it is theoretically possible to spread HIV in the way you described, it is extremely unlikely. HIV is spread mostly through sexual intercourse and by sharing needles.
Avatar m tn I just read that CDC has changed the hiv window period since 2014! In case you get tested by Elisa 4th generation test, also called combo or duo, the window period is only 3 weeks after expousure. ''No diagnostic test will ever be 100 percent reliable, but if you test negative at the appropriate time (i.e.
Avatar f tn They state that there have been cases of hiv through oral sex but these cases have never been substantiated.Remember it was the CDC that said that the official hiv window period was 6 months conclusive,then they changed it to 3 months and for a while there they were saying 3 to 6 months.Isn,t it obvious that they just can,t make up there minds.Where is there evidence to back up this low risk theory for oral sex?
Avatar m tn I know CDC has a conservative approach regarding HIV and maybe that's the reason why they recommend not to engage in deep kissing with an hiv positive person. But even they being conservative i can imagine they wouldn't say that if deep kissing was completely zero risk, don't you think? Why or when can it be risky? Thanks.
Avatar m tn The CDC recommends that people 13-64 be tested...so does that mean all US doctors are to comply with this? Or is it up to the physician whether they offer it or not?
Avatar f tn Three weeks ago I had unprotected insertive anal sex with a CSW. He was very clean and in an upscale area assured me he very recently tested negative, but I was surprised he seemed to encourage me to go bareback after I told him I was clean. It lasted for less than 2 min. It's not something I would normally do and was caught in the moment with no common sense. I will never do that again. I have no early symptoms. CDC reports the risk at 6.
Avatar m tn No ! This is not the official web site of CDC.
Avatar m tn Oral Sex Is Not Risk Free Like all sexual activity, oral sex carries some risk of HIV transmission when one partner is known to be infected with HIV, when either partner’s HIV status is not known, and/or when one partner is not monogamous or injects drugs.
Avatar m tn Just wondering where if any is the web page that states the new CDC guidelines for a 3 month window period. I have yet to find it.
Avatar m tn CDC Recommendations for HIV Testing in Laboratories is the doc title. and it is for lab purposes.
Avatar m tn htm Another type of test is an RNA test, which detects the HIV virus directly. The time between HIV infection and RNA detection is 9–11 days. These tests, which are more costly and used less often than antibody tests, are used in some parts of the United States.
Avatar n tn The official CDC line is that you can get HIV from oral sex, although most experts and studies disagree. Even if the CDC is right , the risk is negligible when you consider the numbers involved..
Avatar m tn Last year i had unprotected sex with a sex worker 。 i hadn't use the condom ,and i took the Vaginal 。After that i learned about the hiv,so i took the hiv test from the cdc,it's about 2week after the case and it's answer was negative。i knew 2weeks has no meaning。so i took alot of test after that。3weeks from the cdc 、3weeks and half from cdc、4weeks from cdc、4weeks and half、6weeks、3months(the last 4times are all in high level hospital)。 they‘re all negative。now it's nearly one year
