Avatar n tn However it isnt statistically likely that you will be positive, even if one of the those partners was positive so dont fret too much, good luck.
Avatar n tn t stop wondering how likely it is that this person gave me HIV. On Nov. 4th I tested for HIV and Syphillis. The HIV test was the rapid blood test (finger prick). Both of those resulted in a negative finding. Nov. 4th was only 19 days after the possible exposure and I know the recommended time frame is to be tested at 3 months. I have been unbelievably stressed out about this (I am a long time hypochondriac) and I find myself worrying on a daily basis.
Avatar m tn 1/1,064 (2) As you can see, if you are going to worry about having contracted HIV from a single episode of unprotected sex, don’t forget about accidents, guns, house fires, water, and lightning, as all of these things are much more likely to lead to your demise than HIV! Medical authorities DO NOT EVEN RECOMMEND TESTING after a single episode of unprotected sex in most situations (3)(4)(5).
Avatar n tn A herpes blood test on the other hand can take months to become positive although most become positive more quickly. If you had a herpes blood test, you will knot know how long you have been infected unless you have been tested in the past. Hope this helps.
Avatar m tn Your chances of getting HIV from this single event are not high (because there is a strong possiblility that she was not positive), but still, you need a test to confirm.
Avatar f tn I've been HIV positive for 28 years.
Avatar n tn I have, I started therapy and was feeling emotionally better but then every week again I get sick, on and off fatigue, feel like I have a virus, even when I feel good and go back to my normal life a few days later I get sick again, I have also not found a single person testing positive at 6 weeks with a rapid test looking online.
Avatar f tn As you had unprotected sex there is a risk but to put this into perspective the chances of her being HIV positive is very very slim and the chances of you catching HIV from this incident even if she were positive is small. Taking the two combined I can predict your test will come back negative. Of course other STD's are far easier to catch as you have found out yourself but the STD you've mentioned is a very common one.
Avatar m tn I tested positive on VDRL (syphilis) but negative on HIV card test today (almost six weeks). How likely am I HIV positive?
Avatar m tn After 2 and 1/2 weeks of a single,brief intercourse with a lady I know, I had an HIV test: Proviral DNA by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification methiod. The RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE. However, there was a disclaimer of the results that indicated that the test was not approved by the FDA and the assay was for research only. Testing was done by LabCorp of America. Questions: How reliable is this test after 2 1/2 weeks? Should I have additional testing?

Avatar m tn 4 week test will give the clean picture .. hiv is not spread easy at single exposure like 1/1000 given the person is hiv positive , get your self test ... you will be fine ... relax yourself and get the test done at four week mark ..
Avatar m tn I looked at all of the symptoms online and every one of them pointed to HIV. I had an hiv test at 3 months, negative. Six months negative. One year, negative. I was tested for all main std's, negative. I HAD EVERY HIV SYMPTOM. and i did not have hiv and i still do not have hiv. WORRYERS: Please remember how many thousands of virus or bacterias there are out there that make you sick for a bit. You will get over them and they most likely will never appear again. Just be smart.
Avatar m tn If we assume that your partner was HIV positive, then the risk of HIV infection via unprotected vaginal sex is 1 in 2000 exposures for the male partner. Absence of ejaculation doesn't reduce the risk of infection for the male partner, only a correctly used condom does. According to the guidelines, you need to get tested. Symptoms don't tell one's status, only an HIV test does. Test now to know your status.
Avatar f tn Last week on Friday around 6PM we had our first unprotected sex, on Monday the following week I insisted that we should go and test only to find that he is HIV positive and all along he was telling me that he is HIV negative and to my stupidity I believed him. We did the test around 15:00 and by 16:48 I was given a PEP pill which I'm currently taking. So, my question is will the pill work?
Avatar m tn t have syphilis, but as VDRL is weakly reactive I might have something else, like HIV. I did get tested for HIV around that 3 week period and it was negative/non-reactive, but I don't know if that counts as people are telling me I have to wait for around 3-6 months. I don't know what to do and am very mentally stressed out. PS: I had HEP B immunization in 2003, and I've been told that I'm immune to HEP A based on where I grew up and blood tests.
Avatar m tn I had rapid clear view complete hiv test administered by hiv positive counselor. Seem like appropriate safety precautions were taken as latex gloves were used and test package opened in my presence. Results were negative, but did I put myself at risk again? We shook hands after test but I did have band aid over finger where lancet was used.
