Oral receptive sex from unknown status working girl
« on: November 10, 2006, 01:50:38 pm »
Hi all. I would like to thank all the moderators for their input in advance. This is a very good site that I found recently. My question is I received oral sex (A blow job) from a sex worker without a condom on 08/24/06. I tested with a PCR test on day 25 which came back negative which I still am paying on. A 42 day, 56 day and 67 ORA Quick test. all negative. Two blood and one oral.

I guess I want to read it for myself that I did not have a risk through receptive oral. The P.A.T.F said I did not need to test since that is my only experience outside my marriage. I have been monogamous from 1992 until this on 08/24/06. This has been stressing me out.

Do I have an HIV risk?

What percentage seroconvert by day 67?

Is is needed to test for receptive oral sex without a condom?
This is my only risk.

Ann I think you are quite a stand up kind of lady. You're are very knowledgeable about your reply's. I enjoy reading what you have to say.

You don't need to test for getting a blowjob. You were not at risk. Just remember there are other STDs you can get from receiving a blowjob.

In the entire history of the epidemic there's never been a documented case of transmission via guy receiving a blow job.

So I feel safe in saying you aren't going to make history by becoming the first.

As Rod mentioned, other STDs are much easier to transmit including by skin to skin contact, so if you are sexually active getting a full STD panel done regularly is a good idea. We suggest at least annually and every six months is even better.

This time out there's no further cause for concern about HIV.

If you haven't already done so, please read the lesson on Transmission to which you can find a link in the Welcome thread which opens this section.

Cheers,

Hi again. I am one of those people that worry a lot. My question is the PCR test. I was told that it was completely accurate at 25 days when I took the test. What I mean by worry is I am calling all the hiv hot lines and they give me mixed answers. Massachusetts says I did not have a risk but am done testing at 6 weeks. The place that ordered the PCR said I had no risk and feels that I am worrying over nothing. GMHC says I had know risk. But I am still worried. '

My next question is oraquick test. How accurate are they at 67 days?  am really nervous about testing for my blowjob at 3 months. I live in Pittsburgh and the County health dept. says I had some risk. although the Pittsburgh aids task force feels I am not in danger of a positive.

I believe you. In my mind I just feel that something has got to go wrong. I don't know how to explain it. RapidRod I respect you and your post. It's just HIV is really scary after living the past 81 days in total fear of carching it. I even went to a mental health professional and got on Lexapro and Zyprexa so I could sleep.I think I have OCD. I hjope you don't think I am one of those people that can not be helped. Its just hard when all you think about is HIV.

Selvin, fortunately feelings aren't facts. You were never at risk for HIV transmission in relation to that incident as we have told you repeatedly. It's no surprise that you tested negative because you weren't at risk to begin with.

Your mind may continue to churn up scary thoughts. They have no basis in HIV science.

Though medications may help you to sleep, in my experience they don't address the emotional source of the feelings. I recommend that you see a therapist with whom you can get some support in dealing with your thoughts and feelings. That is not likely to be a matter of one or two sessions. I suspect we're talking about guilt and other issues, things which just don't go away instantly.

You can't undo that bit of your personal history. You can do yourself and your family a favor and get some help with dealing with it more effectively. Life is too short to spend torturing yourself.

This is not an HIV situation no matter what your mind is saying to the contrary.

Get yourself some help.

Cheers,
Andy Velez

Thanks Andy. I know I am in need of therapy. I will try to pursue it. I told my wife what happend. Although she was upset at first she demanded I make certain concessions to stay intact with her. Needless top say I gladly did it. I plan on testing 11/27/06 for piece of mind. I hope that will alleviate my stress. Thanks to all. The fear of HIV is so overwhelming. It must take a brave person to actually deal with it.

Thanks Ann, RapidRod and Andy for responding. I may or may not test at 95 days. I just may for piece of mind. Hopefully after that I can drop it. The window period is such a scary thing. This sight has been really good. I would read other peoples post and apply it to myself.A lot of worried wells can relate to how scared they have been through the window period. 67 days was my last test.  After this time I hope I do not do it again.

Selvin,

The thing about the hiv window period is this - there is no window period when there is no risk. You had no risk, therefore there is no reason for you to worry about a window period. You've tested negative and that means you ARE hiv negative. You weren't - aren't - in a window period.

Getting a blowjob is NOT a risk for hiv infection. Not one person has ever become infected in this manner and you certainly won't be the first.

Thank you Ann for your reply. You write with conviction. It's just  that it is so confusing with the window period. I have been worrying for 82 days. I will test around 11/27/06. I will test with confidence and for piece of mind. It is hard to shut the worry off. Many organizations say different things. Massachusetts says 6 weeks and you are done and no need to test for fellatio.  I tested with a pcr test at 25 days and oraquick at 25, 42, 56, 67 days. The P.A.T.F. does not want to test me anymore. The place I tested with the PCR said I had no risk and some hotlines start talking about blood in the mouth. That is scary. I know the moderaters say no matter what kind of spin you put on it I am negative. I have been worrying so long. But my end of the tunnel is my 3 month test. I will expect a negative and learn from my mistakes. Why do some people say fellatio is a risk?

You're stuck on an irrelevant question, Selvin. "Why do so many people say (receiving) fellatio is a risk"? Because they don't know what they're talking about, that's why.

And if you are willing to listen to them and ignore what we've told you, that's your choice.

You were not at risk and you never needed to test. Period.

We've told you what the real deal is. What you do with that information is up to you.

Hi all. I took matters into my own hands to help myself and received an 84 day that's 12 week oral orasquick rapid test. Needless to say it came back negative. I did it for piece of mind. I realized something. That I am no longer interested in extramarital sex at all.

Now of course I am wondering if I waited long enough. Does it matter about 12 weeks opposed to 13 weeks?

I am a serious worried well. I know it. I tested at the PATF. and even donated a Little money. I know I was not in a window period but just for general purpose is 12 weeks good enough or should it be 13?  Thanks all.
Hoping to get life back to normal soon.

The FDA does notsupport it as reliable? Did not want to hi jack NYCJEDI's post. Hope I am in line with the forum. So much to learn. Thanks please someone respond.

I am trying to put this to rest. I called the Michigan HIV hotline at 1 800-872-2437 he said 90 days was conclusive and 84 was not enough. Can someone ease my mind here? I heard Europe goes by 12 weeks. Is that true. I am really new to this HIV window period.

Selvin, if you keep shopping around and calling around you are bound to get all kinds of answers including up to a year.

The CDC is quite conservative and recommends 13 weeks as sufficient for a reliable result. Many countries use 12 weeks. Either is good for a dependable result.

Do yourself a big favor and call a halt on asking around.

What we're telling you is reliable. Whether you choose to stick with it is strictly up to you.

I tried letting this go all weekend. I will take a final test the first week of March which will be a little over 6 months. Hopefully then I can relax. It's not that I do not believe this panel of experts it's just that I was so keyed up over it for so long I can not let go of it. This is so scary.

Ann, Sorry I hijacked that other thread. I was just curious how someone else would react to a 12 week test. I decided I would test at 6 months+ for piece of mind. I know I was told it is not necessary but I can not let this go. This is Obsessive on my part however it is so scary. It takes all my waking time thinking about it. I just can not believe I did that outside my marriage(Fellatio) and physically got away with it. I heard news that a 3 month test was anywhere from 95% to 97% to 99.99%.  Thanks to all the advice I got from the panel of moderators and RapidRod. I just wish I could talk with one of you.

Help! a little guidance from the experts please.

I am starting to be a nervous wreck again. I can not stop thinking of the risk I put myself under. I know I was told that receiving fellatio is non risk but I am still scared. At least I know I will never do this again. Can anyone tell me the chances of coming up positive on a six month test after testing negative on a 12 week test will be? I am scared because I do not have the knowledge that some people have HIV is very scary. The fear is as bad as the virus itself. Thanks in advance.

1. Is there any chance I will testpositive at 6 months after testing negative at 12 weeks for fellatio?

Do they use different test in the U.K. than they do in the U.S.? My reason for asking is that the U.K. uses 12 weeks and the U.S. uses 13 weeks. Can someone PLEASE answer? I just do not understand how to great countries can differ.

Selvin,

Your hernia operation will not make a bit of difference to your seroconversion - but wait, what seroconversion? You didn't have a risk. No risk, no seroconversion. No kidding.

They use the same tests - there are several different name brands but they are all sold in both countries.

The window period is a matter of splitting hairs. The year can be divided into four quarters of three months each. A month is generally accepted to be four weeks and a quarter is twelve weeks. However, if you do the math, there is an extra month in the year because there are 52 weeks. The Americans take the extra four weeks and add one on to each quarter. And that's it. Twelve weeks, thirteen weeks, it doesn't matter. Most people will seroconvert and test positive by SIX WEEKS and the three month window is in place to catch the rare person who takes a little longer. That's all.

You didn't have a risk, you don't need to test and all this faffing about over window periods is a moot point in your case. Not one person has EVER become infected with hiv because they got their willy sucked and you will NOT be the first.

It's time for you to move on.

I see a Psychiatrist for Medicine. I see my E.A.P. counselor at work and he feels my anxiety is over ruling my wise mind. HIV is a phobia of mine I learned that when I did what I did in August. I have not been with that many women in my life and never gave HIV a real thought being married since January of 1995. Although my Uncle died in 1994 and was positive. He died because he had a needle stuck in his foot and did not know it due to not feeling it because he also had type 1 diabetes his immune system could not fight off gangrene so I feel he would have died anyway. HIV did not kill him in my opinion. I saw him waste to nothing it was sad. I have comopassion for everyone that has HIV. If I had 3 wishes I would want a cure for HIV, Breast cancer, and Prostate cancer.

I also get blown away by some organizations saying test baseline 3 months and 6 months. It is so confusing. All I want is to be happy again and to do that I may test after 6 months. Not that I disrespect any of the moderators just that I don't know what else to do. At 42 I should not have done what I did.

Selvin,

I'm glad that you're going to see a professional.  Hopefully he/she will be able to address your concerns so that you could move on with your life.  I wish you wouldn't waste another three months of your life wallowing in anxiety. 

I speak from my own experience (and I had REAL SIGNIFICANT HIGH RISK to begin with).  Guess what, my three month test was the EXACTLY THE SAME as my six month test.  I unnecessarily spent three months of my life worrying over a NON ISSUE.  Best wishes.

Beto, Thanks for the kind reply. Consider your hand shaken.

What made you test out to 6 months? Did you do it at exactly six months also and let it go? Did you get bombarded with bad info like I did? These guys know what they are talking about. I read a piece by Joanathan and he had all the facts listed. That is what is keeping me calm. I am a lot calmer than I let on. I can only praise Ann, Rapidrod and Andy and Jonathan. for helping me.

Selvin,

I kept testing because of my own psychological issues.  Part of it is guilt.  The other is because I'm a natural hypochondriac.  My parents had medical backgrounds, and I grew up surrounded by medical books.  I always thought I had all kinds of diseases from Feline Leukemia to Malaria.  I get a sore in my mouth, and become convinced I had oral cancer.  Anyways, you get the drift. 

Unfortunately, and I hate to admit, the sixth month test did NOT stop my anxiety.  Psychological help did.

I am a worrier also. I wish I were not like this. I was depressed because of my job. Then I got the city paper out then boom. Instant worry. Thanks for the support. So you to feel I had no risk to begin with? and 3 months is enough. Good luck to you.

Selvin,

Worker is going to tell you the same thing the rest of us have - getting a blowjob is NOT a risk for hiv infection.

As I said the other day, it's time you got over your no-risk blowjob and moved on with your life. Please read the posting guidelines in the Welcome thread and pay attention to what it says about repeatedly posting over a no-risk event. Please consider yourself warned.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

I am still a nervous wreck. My job is affectted because I can not fully concentrate. Nothing but bad comes out of cheating on your spouse. I decided to take a 6 month test to be sure. That would be 180 days on 2/22/07. Does anyone think that a test for receiving fellatio as an only risk will change from 84 days to 6 months? 84 day negative.

Selvin,

You never needed to test at all and you certainly don't need to test at six months. Getting a blowjob is NOT a risk for hiv infection.

You have ignored everything said to you on this forum, including the warning in my last post to you. I am giving you a four week time out in order to encourage you to seek out some face-to-face help with your anxiety. Do NOT create another account to get around your time out, because I will know and you will be banned permanently, no questions asked.

I have been in counseling about my OCD concerning HIV since 12/21/06. I am Taking classes three days a week 3 hours a day to combat my OCD. I am doing better now and have resisted my urge to test for my non risk incident.  I just wanted to update everyone as to what has been going on. I plan to return to work before March 1st.

I was a nervous wreck since 08/24/06. I even went to counseling and simply worried myself silly for 8 months. I had taken an 84 day test for receiving fellatio then tried to let it go. All experts from here and my home town and hiv counselors over the phone said not to worry. Then one said just test for piece of mind. So I did. Then Yesterday at day 243 8 months. I took a blood test and I just got back my results. Negative. In my mind I obsessed over this for months. Went to psychiatric counseling for 2 months. I can finally let this go.

I have one last general question. Is it now or ever was needed to test for HIV out to one year? My last test was at 8.4 months 256 days from Lab Corp. I have been letting this go but I still worry about it. I apologize for a post so rhetorical. HIV is a scary thing and when you are not educated in something it makes it worse.
