my risky exposure
« on: December 31, 2010, 07:23:17 am »
espected moderators 5 month's before i was having a sexual exposure with a commercial sex worker..We had a protected vaginal sex but before that protected vaginal sex the girl performed unprotected blowjob on me for about 5 mins.She also sucked my balls...after the sex was over I found the condom was intact on my penis and at the top of the condom I saw my sperms was inside the condom,but the outside of the condom was wet.
1) as i did not noticed any blood on her mouth what was the risk of HIV from getting blowjob..as there is no reported cases of HIV from blowjob U cannot say that HIV cannot pass through blowjob as it is not proved.
2)Was there any chances that the condom may have leaked a little that cannot be seen with bare eyes? If the condom breaked then was my sperm get out my condom?
3)when I can be sure that the condom did not leak or break?how can i be sure?

You are worrying needlessly. You used a condom for intercourse which is exactly what you ought to do everytime. They provide very effective protection. If a condom fails it is not about some teeny weeny hole. That's a myth. When a condom fails the whole thing goes and it ends up looking like a hoop with fringe on your penis.

Receiving oral is one of the most common of sexual acts. In the entire history of the epidemic  no matter what the variety of specific details of the event, there has never been even one confirmed case of transmission to the receiver in that manner. It's safe to say you aren't going to make history by becoming the first.

There's no need for testing nor for further concern on your part. We do recommend that anyone who is sexually active ought to regularly have a full STD panel done. Other STDs are much easier to acquire than HIV. So a full test at least annually is a good idea. Otherwise there is nothing to be worrying about in relation to the incident which brough you here.

laora,

No, you cannot become infected with hiv through a little scratch that wasn't covered by the condom.

Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus that is primarily transmitted INSIDE the body, as in unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse where the virus never leaves the confines of the two bodies. Once outside the body, small changes in temperature, and pH and moisture levels all quickly damage the virus and render it unable to infect.

Also, hiv can only infect a very few, very specific types of cells and these cells are not found in small cuts, scrapes or scratches.

You wore a condom for intercourse. The important thing is that the head of your penis was covered. You were protected against hiv.

You did not have a risk for hiv infection during any of the activities you wrote about. You do not need to test over this situation.

laora,

As latex condoms are the most common world-wide and also the least expensive, I have no doubt that the condom the sex worker used was latex. Remember, sex workers use condoms to protect themselves, not you.

If you cannot let go of this no risk incident, go test and collect your negative result. As it happened five months ago, your result will be conclusive if you do decide to test.

If you read the Welcome Thread before posting like you're supposed to, you will have read the following posting guideline:

Quote

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). If you continue to post excessively after one Time Out, you may be given a second Time Out which will last eight weeks. There is no third Time Out - it is a permanent ban. The purpose of a Time Out is to encourage you to seek the face-to-face help we cannot provide on this forum.


Please consider yourself warned!

That's a good way to begin the New Year...letting go of unwarranted fears and moving on with a committment to use condoms everytime for vaginal and anal intercourse.

That's the way to go.

It seems to me that if the condom had been used by your friend you would have known it. So this is more of that "what if" stuff.

We are not responsible for what you may find on other sites and we're not going to get into a back and forth about that with you. Theoretically anything other than sex with your own hand could be a risk. But we know from long experience and scientific data that the only confirmed risks are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. Receiving a blowjob is absolutely not a risk for HIV transmission. Period.

And if you continue to search the web I can guarantee you that you will find misinformation to feed your worst fears.

You had a non-risk incident and you just don't seem willing to accept that. You can if you wish waste resources and get tested if you want to just to relieve your mind. You can do that and collect the inevtiable negative result.

If you come back with more of these unwarranted fears you are definitely going to find yourself getting that Time Out which Ann has warned you about.

Even IF your friend is HIV positive, you still wouldn't have been at risk. HIV is a fragile virus and would not be in a viable form in a used condom. You continue to worry needlessly.

In the future you could avoid some of your concerns by bringing your own condoms when you are going to have intercourse.

respected moderators as evry bdy in this forum states that HIV is a fragile virus...do nt survives outside the body...so no body can say that how long can it survives outside the body say 1 min or 5 mins.so as i used a condom used by my friend for sex with sex worker may be after 5 mins...my friend did nt ezaculated inside the condom but there may be vaginal fluid of that sex worker in the folds of the condom....so as no bdy cn say surely that how long the HIV virus cn stay in the folds of the condom..H ow can u justify my HIV risk....

Yes, the ELISA test is reliable. It's reliable at 13 weeks. In your case it's totally irrelevant because as you were told numerous times you never had a risk to begin with and testing was not necessary.

You are HIV negative. Period. End of story.

And if you start coming back here with more what ifs and unfounded worries about your status, you will very quickly find yourself getting a Time Out again or being banned permanently. HIV is not a problem for you even though you don't seem willing to believe that.

Cut out all this unnecessary drama and get on with your life.

PLZ one more questn..plz frgb me....it is written in tis forum in the guide to testing for HIV tat It's extremely rare for seroconversion to take more than six months to develop detectable antibodies.

No diagnostic test will ever be 100 percent reliable, but if you test negative at the appropriate time (i.e., 13 weeks after possible exposure to the virus), you can consider that to be a dependable confirmation that you are HIV negative.........so can it tke mre tan 6 mnts to detect antibody???????????????????????????????????

A 6 months testing date is only indicated for those who have been longterm intravenous drug users, have cancer or an organ transplant.

Otherwise 13 weeks is sufficient and reliable. You need to stop with the doubts and the what ifs.

Laora, an ELISA isnot going to give you a false negative at 6 months.

Are you still talking in relation to the non-risk incident which brought you here months ago? Because if youare we're simply not going to discuss the matter any further. You didn't have a risk and there's no need for testing.

At 13 weeks all generations of tests currently in use will give a reliable result. And yes, your test covers both HIV 1 & 2.

You really need to let go of this now and get on with your life.

The only instances in which it is known to take up to 6 months for seroconversion are situations in which involve extensive intravenous drug use, organ transplants and treatment for a disease like cancer.

I have no reason to believe any of those apply to you. As for more than 6 months, I am sure if you indulge yourself in surfing the web you will find exceptions of questionable veracity to scare yourself with. We're not going to go there with you.

If you can back with more of these what ifs you are going to get a Time Out. HIV is not your problem. Period.

laora,

You never had a risk for hiv infection in the first place and you've been repeatedly told that a three month negative is conclusive.

Come back with more about this no-risk, conclusive negative situation and you will be given a second time out, which will last for 56 days.

Please consider yourself warned for the LAST time!!!

Either 12 or 13 weeks are equal to the same thing for getting a reliable result.

Stop making things so complicated. Get your test and collect what I expect will be a negative result.

Laora,

You do  not have hiv from your experience with the sex worker, which is no surprise because protected intercourse is not a risk for hiv infection and neither is getting a blowjob.

If you cannot trust your partner, then the answer is simple. Use condoms with her until she agrees to test. If you have reason to believe she's having intercourse with others during your relationship, then you should keep using condoms regardless of her testing. Remember, there are other more easily transmitted STIs out there.

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

Laora,

While a six week (or more) negative test result is highly unlikely to change, the only conclusive result is one at the three month point.

Test all you like, but if you cannot trust your partner, then you should be using condoms with her instead of testing all the time.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!!!

Yes, I understand. However, you do not seem to be able to trust her. If this is the case, perhaps you should use condoms with her until such time as you have both tested negative together and are securely monogamous.

We go by the CDC's recommendation of a three month window for a conclusive result. The British hiv authority also goes by the three month window. I do expect the window period to eventually drop to six weeks, but for now it remains at three months.

hey......i got this news...it is an authentic news from DAILY NEWS AND ANALYSIS.......THE NEWS IS .......HIV, according to experts, is not normally transmitted through saliva. Transmission of the virus from the host is possible when saliva is mixed with blood.

In an unusual case, which should make the experts revisit their earlier position, a 50-year-old man has contacted HIV through his son’s saliva.

The man was bitten by his 32-year-old HIV positive stepson. But the latter did not have ulcers in his mouth, which usually leads to saliva getting mixed with blood.

Documented instances speak of the presence of the virus in saliva, but transmission takes place only in the above case.

“The son had pulled out the thumb nail of his father. Since the wound was raw, the virus could enter easily,” said Dr Alaka Deshpande, who runs the Centre of Excellence ART clinic at JJ hospital. The patient had come to her last year.

To understand the case better, the doctors wanted to verify if the father carried the same virus that has infected his son. Deshpande then sent the patient to National Institute of Research in Reproductive Health for further testing.

Dr AH Bandivdekar and Dr Shivaji Jadhav from the department of biochemistry and virology did gene sequencing of the HIV virus in the father and the son’s blood and concluded that both viruses were the same. “This confirmed the source of the HIV virus. Also, the son’s saliva had a high viral load which may have also caused the transmission,” said Dr Deshpande.

Unfortunately, the father was not given post exposure prophylaxis (PEP), a short-term anti-retroviral treatment given to reduce the likelihood of HIV infection after potential exposure. The family doctor told him that the virus cannot spread via saliva.

“He was admitted to JJ hospital for meningitis. After four days, he told us about this history. His blood was then sent for HIV testing and he was discovered HIV positive,” said Deshpande. She stressed that family physicians should know about HIV infected human bites and should treat it with PEP, in which the treatment should start within two hours of the potential exposure.

The father’s viral load was more than 20 lakh then. “He was treated as per US guidelines so that the virus does not spread to other organs. After treatment his viral load came down.” This case study was presented at the International Conference on Emerging Frontiers and Challenges in HIV/AIDS Research by Dr Jadhav to show that HIV infected human bites should be treated with PEP. ...............................................................................................SO IT IS PROVED THAT HIV IS TRANSMITED THROUGH SALIVA..............SO Y IN TIS FORUM U R TELLING THAT SALIVA CANT SPREAD HIV??????????????????????????PLZ REPLY

We reply using science that is not over 15 years old, and we reply using first tiered peer-reviewed studies as well as documentation, which the above case you sought out is sorely lacking.


No one has gotten HIV through getting a blowjob.

You do not get HIV through saliva. Period.

Were saliva a vector for transmission, HIV would be considered communicable and contagious rather than infectious.


"Many people, especially in the gay community, turn to oral sex as a safer alternative in the age of AIDS. And with HIV rates rising, people need to remember that oral sex is safer sex. It's a reasonable alternative."

THE ANSWER WAS GIVEN BY WELL KNOWN DOCTOR OF INDIA....AND THEY HAVE DONE A TEST WHICH PROVES THAT SON AND FATHER HAS SAME VIRUS..SO PLZ READ IT CAREFULLY THAT WITHOUT THE PRESENSE OF BLOOD FATHER BECAME POSITE FROM HIS SON S BITE,WHICH CONTAINS ONLY SALIVA
