Where did you read that Dr. Bob suggests people to test out to six months? The CDC doesn't even suggest to test to out to six months under normal circumstances. You are HIV negative and it's time for you to move on.

Baby, you need to stop this self-indulgent drama! No kidding.

You weren't at risk to begin with. If you have a need to perpetuate this drama by going to other sites and then attempting to pit us against them kind of stuff, we're not interested in participating in that kind of stuff.

You've gotten many informed responses here. We've told you the real deal. That doesn't seem to have made a dent with you.

You're beginning to convince me that you need to see a therapist or other such professional to discuss what's going on with you about this unwarranted concern, one on your part that has absolutely no basis in HIV science. Really.

Rapid Rod, you can read it for yourself...this was yesterday's posting

http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Current/Q183075.html

This is what Dr. Bob wrote:

1. The guidelines suggest a six-month test following an HIV exposure significant enough to warrant PEP before a definitive HIV-negative diagnosis can be confirmed.

It just seems confusing to me....if a person took a risk (let's not focus on my specific situation)...they took a risk. It shouldn't be split between significant exposure, low risk exposure, medium risk...etc......so why does this 6 month rule still apply? Dr. Bob says 3 months for all exposures exposures...but for someone known to be HIV+, its 6 months....this doesn't make sense.....

Why didn't you explain the whole answer? The response from Dr. Bob is the same as we tell everyone here. Once you take the last dose of PEP you wait 13 weeks to get your conclusive results. If the person would not have taken PEP then it would have been conclusive at the first set of 13 weeks. If you would have noticed also, the person had a second exposure.

Anyone who continues to post excessively, questioning a conclusive negative result or no-risk situation, will be subject to a four week Time Out (a temporary ban from the Forums). The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.

Rod....I am not asking about my specific situation....just concered about conflicting information...but if you actually read it clearly...it says:

The guidelines suggest a six-month test following an HIV exposure significant enough to warrant PEP before a definitive HIV-negative diagnosis can be confirmed.

This doesn't mean just taking PEP....he is saying the level of risk involved.....don't you think?

In addition, all of his other posts show that if you had sex with a confirmed HIV positive person...you need to test out to 6 months regardless of PEP. He says:

Now comes the confusing part. If a person was significantly exposed to a known HIV-infected person, the estimated statistical risks change and a second repeat test "might" be considered at six months or more from the exposure depending on the circumstances. And yes, there are very rare reports of seroconversion 6-12 months after a known exposure. The exact details of these very rare historical cases are a bit sketchy, but the reports do indeed exist in the medical literature

The guideline is 13 weeks conclusive. If you take PEP, it's 13 weeks after the final dose of the PEP medication. Yes, you are on the verge of getting a TO. You've had your risk assessment, now it's time for you to move on.

If you are in sincere doubt of the advice(and admonishments) given here, then I encourage you to make an appointment with an HIV clinic, or Doctor, and pose your questions at that appointment.
Please print out this entire thread, and take it with you. You will not be able to refute facts, combined with a physician opinion.
It seems nothing short of that will suffice for your curiosity.
Please allow us to get to other people who may have a real need, in the stead of arguing semantics with a person who only desires to argue.

There are certain protocol that must be observed in the case of an occupational needle stick. There is a very good outline of this protocol in the CSI forum and you can read it by clicking on the following link:

http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=9056.0

and I believe there's more in this thread:

None of this has anything to do directly with your situation. You are on you FINAL time out warning.

Ming,

You are in danger of a time out because you have conclusively tested hiv negative after a no-risk incident. All these additional questions are just a way for you to keep your worry alive.

The answer to your second question is NO.

Make sure you use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse and you will not have to worry about all these additional things. You are hiv negative. Use condoms and you will remain hiv negative.

I'm giving you that time out. The purpose of your time out is to encourage you to seek out the assistance of a mental health care professional to enable you to get past your sexual anxieties and move on with your life.

Do not create a new account to get around your time out. If you do, I will know and you will be permanently banned.

Oraquick Advanced-Finger prick vs oral fluid
« Reply #68 on: April 26, 2007, 10:01:42 pm »
Which one is more accurate? I know that the finger prick was fda approved in 2002, and the oral fluid in 2004. Does that make the 2004 test more accurate and more sensitive?

In addition, is there a possibility that clinics may make errors when reading the test result, such as an extremely faint positive line?

ming,

I've merged your new thread into your original thread - where you should post all your additional thoughts or questions. It helps us to help you when you keep all your additional thoughts or questions in one thread.

If you need help finding your thread when you come here, click on the "Show own posts" link under your name in the left-hand column of any forum page.

Please also read through the Welcome Thread so you can familiarize yourself with our Forum Posting Guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation.

Are you sure you "forgot", or did you just hope we'd forget about your time out?

Most clinics err on the side of caution when they see a faint positive line. They do more testing in this case.

You are conclusively hiv negative after a NO RISK incident.

There's nothing more we can do for you here. If I have to give you another time out, it will be for two months this time.

Baby,

Dr Bob is a well-know CYA merchant (cover your ass). There is no reason why the window period should be any different if you know your partner to be hiv positive or not. It's ludicrous. The CDC is funded by an ultra-conservative government that would like to outlaw sex outside a traditional heterosexual marriage - they certainly don't condone hiv positive people having sex lives - and they use scare tactics where they cannot legislate.

The window period is three months, period.

babyming, go to the CDC 2006 guidelines and read it for yourself. That is the same advice that this forum gives. Dr. Bob was answering a question to a person whos partner is positive and has been positive for a while. Don't try to throw this out of context. Annual HIV testing in serocouples is a normal recommendation.

ming,

This is where the serodiscordant studies come in. If what you claim were true, then at least one of the seronegative partners in the couples who used condoms, consistently and correctly, would have ended hiv positive. But NOT ONE did. We're talking three differnt studies, involving thousands of couples and running for years.

Use condoms consistently and correctly yourself, for anal or vaginal intercourse, and you too will remain hiv negative. It really is that simple!

You already well know from what you have been told over and over again that getting a blowjob is not a risk for HIV transmission. Yet you have castigated us for saying that to you and carried on at some rude length about how we should be paying respect to unidentified undocumented cases.

Now that you got your dick sucked again you're in a panic and wanting reassurance. We can't tell you anything differently than you have already heard from us. You can believe it or not, whichever you choose. There's no need for testing. Getting a blowjob is not a risk for HIV transmission.

Deal with that as you choose. You've gotten a lot of attention here. Going through another one of your panicky rounds doesn't make any sense to me. So I'll just say that you're awfully close to getting a time out here.

Andy...but I also licked his shaft and around his head...tasted a bit of precum and that was when I stopped...it was for about 10 seconds...should I be worried...test? I am not worried about the receiving oral sex part....but this part scares me.

You were never at risk and you don't need to test.

Hey!  Here's an interesting factoid!  That was discussed with you, ming, 6 months ago in this very thread.

Post number 13.

Hey!  Factoid #2:  You were already told this by the very same poster.  Who would have thought?

Ming,

You need to read what you're being told. In particular you need to read what Andy told you yesterday:

Deal with that as you choose. You've gotten a lot of attention here. Going through another one of your panicky rounds doesn't make any sense to me. So I'll just say that you're awfully close to getting a time out here.

Ya dig?

Just a question...what happens when someone comes on this forum telling you that they got HIV from fingering and from receiving oral sex. Are you going to call them liars?

Dear Andy, Ann, Rod,

You guys always refer to the 3 studies of magnetic couples and how no one contracted HIV when having protected sex, but unprotected oral. I only know the Spanish study...what are the other 2 studies?

Ming,

You might feel like nit-picking on a Sunday evening, but I'm off out for some R&R. These studies have been discussed and linked to elsewhere in this forum - use the search engine yourself. We're not your unpaid skivvies. Sorry.
