Avatar m tn Any confidentiality issues would be on your end, not on the site, meaning if you left the computer open, or if someone accessed your computer or phone and saw it for themselves, or unless you have the exact same screen name on multiple sites. As far as privacy goes, on THIS end, you're good to go. Hope you keep posting. LOTS of help here.
Avatar m tn I am trying to find a good psychiatrist (hoping I can find an addictionoligist) so I may possibly have someone that I can be honest with. Is the doctor patient confidentiality ABSOLUTE? would he/she be legally, morally, and/or ethically required or able to call my prescribing dr to tell him that I'm abusing my meds and taking xtras? Yes of course eventually I want them to be gone, but first I need to eliminate the xtras, then I can work on my own scripts.

Avatar m tn Before entering her I put on a condom, the condom was about have way down my penis because it was a smaller condom, it stayed on the whole time and although I did not check it throughly it seemed intacted when I took it off, she then gave me a hand job, now I am freaking out because if I contracted HIV I would have 72 hours to take a PEP which I could do but I don't want to let my wife know of this this dumb encounter I had and Im not sure if they would let me just buy it without it showing
Avatar f tn It is true that people with HIV get shingles, but mostly only when they have advanced AIDS. More important, the vast majority of people with shingles do not have HIV. You have no choice but to have an HIV test. Just do it. It is the only way you're going to start to get beyond your fear of it. I will have no other comments on this thread unless and until you return to report your HIV test result. It will be negatove.

I was wondering why i ate much, but did not gain weight. I was having dry coughs, and had this flu' like for 3 weeks.
Avatar f tn Hello, Since it was dark and you are unsure regarding the usage of condom, you should get tested for HIV and other STD’s. HIV testing is done with a blood test and is done in full confidentiality. The blood is first tested by ELISA test which is a screening test which looks for antibodies in the blood. Then if it is positive then Western blot test is done to look for specific proteins of HIV.
Avatar f tn I had protected oral sex once three years ago and since have had six deep kissing incidents and about the same hand jobs. I have to go for compulsory hiv tests where I live and it is causing OCD do I need to worry too much?
Avatar m tn t put yourself at risk for HIV...as oral sex is not a risk for HIV...ONLY unprotected vaginal or anal sex (sexually speaking).
Avatar m tn MY SON HAD UNPROTECTED SEX WITH A PROSTITUTE. HE IS 17 AND HE WAS A VIRGIN...HE IS CIRCUMSISED, DOES NOT DRINK OR USE DRUGS. I AM VERY SCARED AND DEPRESSED THAT HE MIGHT HAVE STI OR HIV. HE HAS BEEN TESTED FOR URINAL YSIS/FECES AFTER SIX DAYS AMD CAME BACK ALL NORMAL, BUT IS NOT CONCLUSIVE BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN LONG ENOUGH. PLEASE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME PIECE OF MIND.
Avatar n tn If i gave head to a girl what are the odds of contracting the aids virus. I know she was in Chile this summer and had sex there with a Chilean boy. And there's a sex revolution in Chile everyone is having sex. I am worried she might have contracted the virus and maybe me too.
Avatar m tn Translated: Hi Doc, I am not sure if there are any vaginal fluid in my hand. It is not wet, and very little amount. Later on, I masturbate myself using the same hand. What's the risk of HIV?
Avatar f tn Hello, Can u kindly explain me how many stages are involved in HIV positive? Can get AIDS as soon as being suffered for HIV?? Can HIV person be recovered like a normal person if taking a medicine regularly and obeying doc's suggestion properly??
Avatar m tn Both of your exposures (unprotected receptive oral and deep kissing) do not put you at any risk of HIV. Your feelings are due to stress, anxiety or guilt. You are fine, move on with your life normally.
