Common Questions and Answers about Hiv odds

hiv

Avatar m tn Your test result is indeed satisfying and GOLDEN conclusive. its as clear as a snow that your results outweigh the thoughts that you got HIV from that incident. People on chemo, those that are taking antirejections drugs for organ transplants and chronic IV drug abuses are the candidates for seroconversation and not through taking npep. Many people will have detectable antibodies in three or four weeks and very really few in 9-12 weeks.
Avatar m tn You are apparently using condoms consistently for anal sex, and you are doing your best to assure that your partners are unlikely to have HIV. And as you were told on the community forum, oral sex carries little or no risk for HIV, especially for the insertive (penile) partner. If these habits don't change, you could have similar exposures daily for 50 years and expect to never catch HIV. As for advising whether your partner was gaming you, i.e.
Avatar m tn If you are reading this, you are probably obsessing over the possibility of having contracted HIV and/or are dreading getting an HIV test. However, it is my aim to teach you that you really have nothing to worry about concerning such an exposure. First, HIV is a very difficult virus to transmit sexually.
Avatar n tn 5) If a provider is known to be HIV positive, what are the odds of catching HIV with that provider after one act of unprotected intercourse?
Avatar m tn Your risk for HIV from the exposure you describe is modest. Risk for getting HIV is determined by two main factors - the likelihood that you partner has HIV and the sort of sexual exposure you have. My guess is that the likelihood that your partner has HIV is low. You could find out more if you were to ask her or if she was willing to get tested if she has not been recently. If she is HIV infected, the risk of a single episode of virginal sex is about 1 infection per 1000 exposures.
Avatar f tn I had protected sex with csw of unknown status where the condom came off i think during withdraw(it was still on the tip of my penis) I got very worried of stds so i tested for everything 5 days later including hiv by pcr dna,everything came back negative.I later had.a swollen tonsil with no pain and started to freak out again so i tested again at 39 days with hiv pcr dna with antibody for 1&2 &0 everything negative.
Avatar f tn Having said that, it also possible that just one unprotected contact is enough for HIV transmission to occur. HIV transmission is not a game of probability.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question. I know this can seem alarming -- having had sex with a partner you now know has HIV. However, you really are not at risk. You ask "Odds against me?" No, they are not. The odds are very much in favor of you not having HIV. First, the timing of your partner's test results suggests he was infected after your encounter with him. Second, even if he had HIV at the time of your sex with him, you had entirely safe sex.
Avatar f tn Hiv is not an odds game. You had a risk and you have to test. The test you did is too early. Take a ag/ab test at the 6th week mark for an indication and a final 12th week ab test to conclude.
Avatar m tn No chance of contracting HIV as long as you didn't penetrate her unprotected even a second long. That's what a condom for.
Avatar m tn Odds of average US or W.European sex worker having HIV are slightly less than 5% (1 in 20). Odds of contracting HIV from a single act are supposedly only around 0.04% (1 in 2500). So, picking up random hooker and boffing her gives you 0.0002% chance of coming up positive. Odds of you getting other STDs (HPV, Herpes, Chlamydia, etc) from the encounter are significantly higher.
Avatar n tn Be very worried of HIV, HIV is very real and anyone can contracted it. HIV is not a guessing game, for you to get a conclusive test result you will need to test 3 months post exposure from your last unprotected anal or vaginal sex.
Avatar f tn ve found many contradictory informations about oral sex and odds of getting HIV. Some of them say the risk is equal as a risk involved in every other sexual activity, some of them agree that it's unlikely to get HIV from oral sex. But I can't sleep, I can't study, I can't think about anything else, and I've been thinking about suicide to get the hell out of this situation...
Avatar f tn Those are those are the only ways that HIV is transmitted in the real world. HIV has been closely followed and documented. Air inactivates the virus and this is why secretions outside the body are not a risk for HIV. So, no need to test or worry.
Avatar n tn m still at risk, but my question is how likely is it that I could have contracted HIV from him? I have asked him about his status and he said that he is clean and that he is a Medical Technician and that they get tested all the time, but I don't see a job regularly testing their employees for HIV and STD'S. On 1/21/13 I woke up to my left arm being sore under my arm pit.
Avatar m tn You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV from oral sex. You did have a possible risk of contracting oral STDs. You need to go to the STD forum to discuss them.
Avatar m tn You had no HIV risk
Avatar m tn P24, antibody HIV-1 (group M and group 0) and antibody HIV-2 were negative. But I am in panic because I know little about him and in his previous relationships. Now I know he is bisexual and sometimes he were careless about the use of condons. Please, I need to know if this test I went throw is conclusive or not. And how about the odds?
Avatar m tn ) and I get the test back in a week from this Tuesday. I get my HIV test in three weeks. I am most certain that I don’t have or hope that I don’t have anything. Well I guess my question is what are the chances, why didn’t they test for herpes (and if I did get tested for herpes it we cost me 140 dollars for it..Why?) and how likely will it be if I do have an std that it would lay dormant for this long. HIV are usually the dormant std’s but many people say it unlikely to get it through orally.
