If I am understanding you correctly you gave oral sex to another man and he rubbed his penis around your anus but without penetration. And in both activities he was wearing a condom.

Even if he had not had a condom on when you gave oral or when he rubbed against your anus  those would not have been risks for HIV.

Only unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse are confirmed risks for HIV transmission sexually.

It's no surprise that you tested negative. If I understood your activities correctly then there was no risk and there is no need for further testing.

Just make sure you always use condoms for intercourse and you will be well protected sexually.

That's a myth about small holes in condoms. When a condom fails/breaks it's very apparent because the entire thing ends up looking like a hoop with a lot of fringe on the penis.

Your arthritis would not affect the accuracy of your test. And again, you didn't need to test because you were not at risk.

You are worrying needlessly. I wonder if you are married or have a partner or are new to this sex, because this all seems like a lot of guilt and anxiety to me without any basis in HIV science.

Rheumatoid arthritis is not a symptom of HIV infection. You did not have a risk for HIV and yes, I expect you to test negative.

What part of what Andy said is it you don't comprehend? YOU NEVER HAD A RISK.

If there had been an actual risk, then a negative at 9 weeks would strongly point towards to testing negative at 3 months.

But you DIDN'T have a risk so you getting tested is strictly for your peace of mind and you are certainly going to continue to test negative.

5,

You did NOT have a risk for hiv infection.

You do NOT need further testing.

You are conclusively hiv negative.

You do NOT have hiv!!!

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!
