Help, Kissing and fingering, very worried, please reply!!!
« on: December 29, 2006, 10:21:45 pm »
Hi all. I`m a mexican male married with 2 children. Lately, I`ve been very worried about the next story: 3 weeks ago, on a bussiness trip, I went to a strip club in Mexico city and got a Lap dance. I had a small kiss session with a girl, no deep, and fingered her vagina for some time(no sex).  I don't know she is HIV positive but am curious of the risk level in this situation. Since then, I`ve been very stressed and worried about my wife (we have had only a few sessions of sex). I called to a mexican AIDS hotline and they told me this: "no penetration, no risk", is this true?. Do you think you have anything to worry about?. Do you recommend to take a test?. Can I continue with a normal life with my wife? Please reply. Thanx in advance.

James,

Please read through the Welcome Thread and follow the Transmission Lesson link - or read it here en español - so you can have a better understanding of what is and what is not a risk for hiv infection.

Kissing is not a risk for hiv infection. Fingering is not a risk for hiv infection. You didn't have a risk and you don't need to test.

My risk!
« Reply #7 on: January 05, 2007, 10:23:17 pm »
My story: I had a contact with an infected girl, just deep kissing and fingering without sex.  The day after i noticed i had a cut in my finger and i get worried, this finger, i had introduced in her vagina. I did the cut between one and three hours before the relation, i am not sure, the cut was like a papercut but a little more big, it had dried blood and i am sure that it doesnt bleed during the relation. Now my questions:

1.- Do you think i have to get tested ? 2.- It is known some case of infection trought a cut in a finger? 3. is there any risk about deep kissing?

chihuas,

Can I ask why you are using different usernames while posting to our forums? Thus far, you have also used james74

Please realize that this kind of activity is disrespectful of other forum members, as well as our moderators. People spend a considerable amount of time helping others in these forums. Using multiple accounts is at the very least annoying, if not deceiving and disrespectful of others. It is also against our Terms of Membership which you agreed to when you became a member. This information is also contained within the Welcome Thread, which you should have read by now. So really, you have no excuse.

You must realize that the answers won't change, no matter how many names you post under.

I would appreciate a reply to this message, and I hope you will commit to using just one account - preferably your original one. If not, you will be banned from further access to the forums.

Go see a Dr.  And keep your hands off your NODES, this irritates them, and they let you know that it irritates them by SWELLING UP.  You have not had a risk of HIV infection based on what you have said.  Move on with life and go see a Dr.

James,

A person's glands may or may not swell during seroconversion. It means nothing either way.

But what's it to you anyway? You did NOT have a risk for hiv infection as you have been told over and over.

It's high time you got over the fact that you touched a stripper. That isn't how a person gets hiv.

James,

I am an hiv positive woman. My partner and I have a full sex life and the ONLY precaution we take is to use condoms for intercourse. He is hiv negative and we have been together for over seven years.

If you've read the Welcome Thread, you will have read this:

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). 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.

You cant be that scared if you havent taken her to see a Dr. yet with the symptoms she is having.  It's either your not scared or you dont love her or care about her.

You ARE hiv NEGATIVE. It's time for you to put this behind you and move on with your life.

Hi all. My story: on a bussiness trip, I got a lap dance and had a small kiss session with a girl, deep, frotation with pants on and fingered her vagina for some time (no penetration). I was tested with the rapid whole blood sample home test on week 10, 13, 14 and 15 and received negative test results; on week 15, I used 2 tests from different suppliers. Now my questions: can I be assured that I am definitely HIV-negative after my negatives test result?. Do I have to test again?. Can I woohoo? Thanks in advance. Regards.

You were already told in your previous thread, http://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=7282 that the incident you describe did not put you at risk.

You had no need to test in the first place.

Your negative test results confirm the fact that you do not have HIV.

James, I've merged your latest thread with your original one. You've been told before about not starting new threads. Please keep all your entries in this one thread or you are going to risk getting a time out.

You have absolutely realiably tested negative for an incident which actually didn't put you at risk HIV to begin with.

I suspect your anxiety, guilt and/or shame is about having been a dog like the rest of us and strayed during this incident. If I'm right about that, the best thing you can do for all concerned is to dump your guilt overboard and get on with your life.

This is NOT and HIV situation. Period.
