Avatar n tn Updated Sept 30 2012 I had a nonreactive Elisa (very safe x my risks) The only relationship I had was oral sex (receiver), In Buenos Aires the State AIDS Foundation says there is no possibility of infection if one has oral sex, even though the person had any sores or bleeding of the mouth. 1) This is really true? I did not run any risk? 2) Does anything with my symptoms or blood count point to a possible primary infection?
Avatar f tn I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina and got a manicure at a salon that the concierge recommended called Roberto Giordano. Supposedly a nice place. The lady was cutting my cuticles and cut the skin on my pinky finger under my cuticle by accident. I did not see her sterilize anything and am petrified cause I do not know the health standards in Buenos Aires. She claimed it was sterilized. If it was not could I have caught HIV from the cuticle cutter if it was used on someone with it earlier that day?
Avatar f tn Wow this story brings good and bad tears to the eyes...what an amazing pup, though!
475555 tn?1469304339 It sounds like a good thing to have done before making a Tx decision, especially in my case, which is borderline. I queried my hep MD here in Buenos Aires, but I strongly doubt the test is done here yet. Can anyone tell me if It's possible to send blood to the U.S. labs from down here in Argentina (or anywhere else)? If not, I'll have to wait until I'm back in the States (although I have no MD there to give me a scrip!). Any guidance on this will be much appreciated. Cheers!
1301089 tn?1290666571 Isn't this nice! We're giving those dear little drug smugglers and murderers their own park. Never mind it's American National Parkland. Funded and paid for with American tax money. I guess actually guarding it with armed Guardsmen might insult someone.
1301089 tn?1290666571 citizens due to increased violence in the region. This does include the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge. In other words, we fund a park that only the drug cartels and human smugglers get to use. The Obama administration plans to sue Arizona over their new law to enforce immigration laws already on the books. And they won't finish the border fence. So I ask once again, where are the National Guard troops?
Avatar n tn im a heterosexual male in buenos aires, argentina, who 3 weeks after having anal and vaginal sex with sexual worker using condom -but worried if the latex got torn after repeated penetrations- starting feeling ars symptoms including cold sweats after exercise, lack of appetite, low grade fever during day which apparentl spiked at night cos i had night sweats for weeks on end ( i say low grade cos i still put in my daily working shift and I had no hot flashes rather was very sensitive to drafts)
Avatar m tn I had a momentary lapse of judgment and obtained a prostitute from one of the boliches in Buenos Aires. She performed unprotected oral sex for approximately 3-5 minutes and then we had protected vaginal intercourse for approximately 1-2 minutes. She did not speak english very well so evaluating her HIV status was not an option. However, I did notice after we finished unfortunately that she had what appeared to be a small cold sore on her lip.
Avatar n tn Had the condom failed you would have known without a doubt.
Avatar m tn After that, I have never seen her before...She was from Germany....but I met her in Buenos aires...After two weeks I now fell really tired, no energy at all....I feel really thusty during the day...Dont have temperature, no body pain..no fever...I dont really feel like eating during the day...overall, I feel tired, and no energy...I havent noticed anything weird on my body....I am really scared, and dont know what to do....what is the % of getting HIV infection? When should the symptoms occur??
Avatar m tn You can not get HIV from giving oral sex even with sores. The only ways that you can get HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. That's it. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. So, with regards to HIV, you had no risk at all. You can write on the std forum to inquire about other std's.
Avatar f tn I was in Buenos Aires (which I have since learned has a pretty high prevalence of HIV in prostitutes - around 3-5 % in some). Anyway, I was at a higher end club, and took a sex worker home with me. She performed unprotected oral sex on me and then we had protected vaginal sex with a condom... During sex I looked down and saw some old, brownish blood on the uncovered part of the shaft of my penis. I kind of freaked out, stopped intercourse, and removed the condom.
475555 tn?1469304339 Is there some sort of word censorship here? I can't understand why the words "staircases" and "dentists" were removed from my post. Hmmm. . .I wonder what happened to them there? M.
475555 tn?1469304339 Hi, medhelpers! It's spring in the U.S. and I hope you are all in better spirits now that the freezing cold of this nasty winter is leaving. I just got the results of a blood test I did at 8 weeks post-EOT (12 weeks of Sovaldi + Olysio). My AST/ALT are 24/11, only very slightly up from their levels after three months on Tx (21/10). Also, my platelets are up to 147k, a level I have not seen for three years.
475555 tn?1469304339 Just got the message from the hospital here: hemoglobin 16.9, and 15 is the upper cutoff for the trial. So, no Boceprevir for me, at least right now. It's just as well. Why interrupt a great skating run? I'm really on a roll at the rink. All that gym in Buenos Aires is paying off. And personally I think that sweating it out at the rink is better for my liver than their meds. That trial would have been a problem any way you cut it.
483814 tn?1214311480 Hi, Bill. Thanks for your informative post of 5/20. I'm okay for the time being here in Buenos Aires. I have the in-house health plan at a pretty good hospital and so far everything has been covered: blood tests, ecodoppler for portal hypertension, endoscopy for varices, and a biopsy two days ago. Everything's negative so far, by the way, so maybe my liver isn't too bad yet. But I won't have the biopsy results until mid-June. They're very slow here.
475555 tn?1469304339 Then follow two series of FibroTC analyses of the two CAT-scans I had done in Buenos Aires in 2008 at a private imaging facility. These are preceeded by identificatory notes with color key. (There were more CAT-scan slices than are represented, as Dr. Gomez chose which images to analyze according to criteria of distribution in the liver, clarity of image, et cetera.) For an explanation of the cuadrants color-coded F3 and F4, see Dr. Gomez's notes.
475555 tn?1469304339 m a New Yorker with no medical coverage in the States (because I always worked freelance) and reside part-time in Buenos Aires where I have a hospital medical plan I can afford. I have no MD in the States, either.
Avatar n tn I was on Corgard for some time then I was switched to Sotalol which did not work that well. As a matter of fact I was in Buenos Aires 3 years ago and I had a horrible episode of nearly constant PVCs. When I returned home my doctor switched me to Flecainide and Atenolol and it has worked well. I wish you the best of luck.
Avatar m tn In late September, I had an encounter with a CSW in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The encounter feature unprotected oral (both ways) and a fairly brief episode of unprotected vaginal intercourse with which I did have an orgasm. At 34 days after I had a standard STD check done, including a rapid HIV test. All came back negative. My concern is symptoms. For some weeks now I have had a strange ache in my right groin area.
475555 tn?1469304339 I am very into tango myself, as a matter of fact, and am told that I have a real argentine dance "style", unlike most of the New York tangueros (but, then, flattery was always very effective on me :] ). Tell your missus that I go to the Salon Canning and Niño Bien milongas and that I take classes from Alberto Catalá at a gimansio in Belgrano.
