I dont want to test out of fear that it will definetly be positive, due to symptoms, i am living in great anxiety think may be she while giving me prostate massage bleeded inside my anus. I am a mess multiple exposures mean i could have gotten from anywhere.Anyone that can help me sort out and help me deal with these problems, would senior members like Ann, Mr Velez, and Mr. Rod please guide
would the number of exposure mean i had high risk. What if the oil was filled with blood could i have acquired hiv i have good 6 hiv symptoms which clearly indicates i have it. I hope its not true i am a college student will full life ahead of me

You don't have an HIV concern, nothing you have done put you at risk of contracting HIV.

Thanks rod, but did you see it happend six times six handjobs, 3 prostate massage, during the course of the handjobs it was dark and i did not see if her hand was bleeding or had sore, same goes for the prostate massage, the TS and CSW poured oil based lube in my anus. would the lube mix with blood cause chance of infection, i have never had such a bad cough, and shortness of breath, i think i could have been getting it due to hiv, and follicultus on face i never had that before i even gave up shaving wash my face daily with antibacterial soap but still get it took oral antibiotics no help, and now seoboric dermatsis, i have never had protected or unprotected sex oral, vaginal, and anal. These six exposures are all i had. I might be the first person who got it from this. I have shortness and dry cough currently along with follicultus all hiv symptoms

See a doctor if you are concerned about your symptoms they have nothing to do with HIV.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

SO you are 100 percent sure its not due to HIV? how come HIV shows up each time i search the symptom? Does Ann and Mr. Velez and other senior member have anything to add? I guess i will have to live with these symptoms, since i fearful of being tested due to symptoms. I will just try to live and move on, Hopefully you are right.

Walking,

People are NOT high or low risk - ACTIVITIES are high or low or no risk. The activities you engaged in are NO RISK activities.

We base our risk assessments on the idea that the other person is hiv positive. You did NOT have a risk.

Getting a handjob is not a risk. Being fingered (given a prostate massage) is not  risk. Not one person has ever been infected either way and you aren't going to be the first.

If you feel unwell, see a doctor. You could be missing something serious through your misguided focus on a virus for which you have not been at risk. Your symptoms could be caused by anything - anything other than hiv. You have NOT had a risk for hiv infection!

Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.

To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST FOR HIV SPECIFICALLY OVER FINGERING OR HANDJOBS, 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 STIs 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!

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
