Mt worry is I did not check for lesions or marks on the body. Please assess my risk.

You did not have a risk in any of the situations you are concerned with and you will not get kaposi Sarcoma for a saliva handjob .

The risk factors for sexually acquiring HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal sex .
ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED HIV TESTING AT THIS TIME for this incident , anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.

Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than HIV. Some of the other STDs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.

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

  You didn't need testing the first time, you never had an exposure.

As you have been told already, you did not have a risk for HIV and you have tested conclusively HIV negative . If you are sick go see your doctor and find out why because its not HIV that's making you sick .

Hi Jeff, Rapid rod(Teak). I did not get tested four times. To be clear, the type of exposures with the escorts remain the same as mentioned. I am providing the date of exposure to be clear

1. Escort (mid september)
2. Escort(october 14th)
3. Escort(Nov 3rd)
4. Escort (nov 23rd)

Got tested using rapid hiv test on 27th dec. (five weeks from 4. escort)

Again got tested for hiv on jan 4th. (six weeks from 4. escort)

Both of which are negative. (six weeks from last exposure 4. escort).

I am not a sexually active individual. I have never had any sort of penetrative sex (oral, vaginal, anal) in my 30 year life ( thats my age). I am still a virgin.  Sadly those pathetic and the specific acts as mentioned previously with those escorts are my only sexual exposures.

Presently I am under a lot of stress due to which I had developed acidic stomach.   I  know that there is no further advise you guys can give apart from saying that there is no risk or " you never had an exposure". My mind will ease only after testing on feb 23rd (three months from 4. escort). Presently I have to be happy with the negative six week result ??.

◾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 read your thread again . We have already provided you with the answers . I'm officially warning you that we will not go over the same concerns or respond to question we have already answered .

Of course you received a negative, you never had an exposure.
