Do I Have HIV? / Re: Oral sex naked body to body contact under duvet
« Last post by Jim Allen on Today at 07:16:18 am »
Makes no difference whatsoever.

Receiving a blowjob lacks the conditions required for acquiring HIV; thus, it makes sense that after 40+ years of this pandemic in terms of BJs, there hasn't been a single documented case of HIV transmission to an insertive partner (the person being "sucked"), and you will not be the worlds first.

Your only HIV risk was sex with your wife.

Move on with your life.

Thank you for your response does it matter on how long the oral lasted or if I had any marks or skin irritation on my penis. If hiv is not a risk what are the other tests I need to take? Thank you.

I have a wife at home who is 6 weeks pregnant

I read your entire post three times. You had zero HIV from the encounter with the 60 year old.

As for being married, I'll mention the same thing I always do when someone says they are in a relationship;

If you engage in condomless intercourse with your partner, you are obviously at risk of acquiring HIV. In relationships, condomless sex is often based on trust or past test results; however, this does not prevent HIV, so if condomless sex does occur, you should consider testing more frequently.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

I have asked him his status but he told me to F off!

Pointless question about something that's none of your business and a great answer from the guy.

Do I Have HIV? / Oral sex naked body to body contact under duvet
« Last post by Asifb123 on Today at 06:46:27 am »
Hi, first off thank you for the amazing job you guys are doing I have read through a lot of posts as I have fallen into a little trap of stupidity myself.
Right on Tuesday I went and met of with a 60 year old I met online after a few messages I went over to his we started talking and before you know it we were both naked in bed together he sucked me off under the duvet and we were both sweating loads as it was quite hot under there however I finished by ejaculating  on the bed then straight after I put my clothes back on and we chatted some more my exposure was body to body deep kissing and receiving oral. I am totally paranoid as I have a wife at home who is 6 weeks pregnant and I have made an awful mistake what is my risk for hiv as that’s my main concern I have asked him his status but he told me to F off! Which I’m assuming he must be hiding something which has made me more paranoid. I am planning on getting the usual urine analysis at the right time but I need to know about hiv as I have a pregnant wife at home what risk of hiv is this as the only thing that I did was recieve oral and kiss nothing else.

I'm excited to share insights about fitness and how small, consistent changes can lead to significant improvements in your life.

Remember, you don’t have to spend hours at the gym to make meaningful progress—starting today is what truly matters.

So, are you ready to take that first step?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that someone will find something to help you out with your pain situation. That's got to be soooo frustrating.

Hang in there!

Living With HIV / Re: Too much of a stress test!

If it had been for something less serious, I would have suggested getting a makeup artist to age you by 10 years so that when he wakes up you can tell him it's 2034 and Trump's clone is now running the country.
OMG LOL
when he's healthy enough for a good belly laugh, I'm going to tell him you suggested that. :D :D

I've been trying to keep our HIV/GP doctor apprised of what's going on and thought of something. They say PLHIV live longer, healthier lives because of the medical care we receive and this is certainly an example of that. Our doctor asked the right questions, did the right tests, and made the right referrals.

Having a heart attack at the cardiologist office is probably next best to having one in the ER, and Larry wouldn't have been doing a stress test if our doctor hadn't listened and followed through. Thankfully the actions he and we took kept that heart attack from happening at work and perhaps being fatal.

Since the ICU only has limited visiting periods during the day, I should stop by the grocery store in one of my trips to and fro. When Randy was in the hospital I made brownies. I did muffins when Jim was in the hospital. I learned the best way to ensure good care for my partners was to always be friendly with ALL the staff......and bring them treats!! Maybe I'll do some Fall or early Halloween iced cut out cookies. ;) (Like christmas cookies with dark colored icing!)

ugh. stupid adult thoughts I'm having while happy with the outcome so far. Larry still isn't out of the woods, so every message I send to everyone, including the post here, I reread and overthink about how to word things so that if everything goes wrong, I'm not jumping the gun and saying something that I might feel bad about later. I did some of that in my posts about Jim. I blame my brain and the PTSD (oh, and this new trauma) for thinking like that. :o ::) ;D
