Do I Have HIV? / Re: Is it possible?

The activities you posted here aren't an HIV risk to you, zero HIV risk and that's 100% already, not going to pretend otherwise.

Move on with your life.

Treatment consists of a subcutaneous injection every night. If I drink water I look like a fountain because the water comes out of all the little holes in my belly.
OMG ROFLMAO ;D ;D

edited: sorry about the wrong language. I meant to copy and post this into your other thread since I do can English not Spanish. :D
 
I can still sort of read French but not speak it. A NC Carolina teacher with a heavy Southern Accent in a small baptist school where I took French in high school was not the way for me to ever learn how to speak it. LOL

Sorry to bother you again, where I live there are HIV test centers but I think they only test with the paper ones. Do they %100 work? Is 23 days enough for them to give acurate results? I am just paranoid about it because of my OCD.

               ojo.            Hola a todos los que nos leen!… Aquí actualizándoles mi situación después de un mes y medio de la extirpación de mi ojo ciego. Les cuento: ya casi está completamente desinflamado el ojo con un poco de dolor de vez en cuando, mi esclera se ve Rosita, se supone que debe de verse blanca pero creo que es parte del proceso. Ahora esperar a ver el cirujano hasta el 28 de mayo para checar si todo está bien y si es así, irme a hacerla prótesis. Y ya les contaré cuando traiga mi ojo biónico .


El 7 de mayo tengo cita con el infectólogo sólo para platicar sobre los resultados que creo me dicen en febrero y contarle de mi cirugía y de mi osteoporosis. Por cierto que tendré otro examen de densidad de huesos el mismo día que veo al cirujano, el 28 de mayo, Para evitarme un viaje a la Clínica ya que está a una hora de donde vivo. Como ya les comenté, tengo osteoporosis por vivir tanto tiempo con una enfermedad crónica y estoy en tratamiento. En esta próxima prueba de densidad de huesos sabremos si el tratamiento está funcionando . El tratamiento consiste en una inyección subcutánea todas las noches. Si tomo agua parezco una fuente porque el agua me sale por todos los hoyitos que tengo en la panza. Ya les contaré cómo va todo.


Recuerda que la única manera de adquirir el virus que causa el síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida es tener sexo vagina anal sin protección (Globito) también si comparten jeringas para meterse drogas. Así que no olviden que si se van de fiesta no olviden el globito y cuídense. Si son activos sexualmente es recomendable que se hagan examen de VIH y de otras enfermedades de transmisión sexual al menos cada año y si son muy facilitos Cada seis meses.… Abrazos

Hiya.

What you posted here was no HIV risk to you whatsoever, zero!

In brief, your adult HIV risks are:

* Sex; Condomless intercourse & a minute (theoretical) HIV risk if you give a blowjob.
* Sharing drugs rigs (Syringes)
* Blood products/ transfusions (Rare nowadays in most nations thanks to screening)

However, there are other far easier-to-infect infections you could pick up from some of the activities you mentioned in your post such as bacterial infections but also things like hepatitis A, but not HIV.

Talk to your healthcare provider if you continue to feel unwell, also talk to them about acne treatment. If it is severe they can give you antibiotics to help clear it up and, if it's available in your region consider getting vaccinated against HPV,  Hepatitis A & B.

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. Talk to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and getting 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

Some tips on correct condom usage:

Use approved condoms and check for a certification mark (e.g. FDA, C.E., ISO or Kitemark) because the condom complies with safety standards. Check the expiry date and make sure the condom is still within date.

Use lubricant condom-safe water-based lubricants to make condoms more comfortable and reduce breakage risk. – but avoid oil-based lubricants as they can weaken or break condoms.

As for putting the condom on correctly:

Incorrectly done, the risk of breakage can increase. Place the condom on top of the erect penis and pinch the teat at the end of the condom before you start to roll it down the penis. By doing this, you'll squeeze out any air bubbles and ensure there is room for the semen (cum). Roll the condom down to the base of the penis.

If it's on correctly, it will roll downwards easily. If you've started putting it on the wrong way, take it off, and even if you or your partner has not ejaculated (cum), there can still be semen or (pre-cum), so it's important to try again with a new condom. (More to do with risks from other STI's/pregnancy than anything else)

Finally, never "test" the condom before or after intercourse. It's not needed at all and could damage the condom, as it's not designed as a reusable (re-stressed) product, and "testing" the condom could lead you to mistakenly think that the condom was damaged during sex when in fact, you caused the damage after the intercourse by trying to "test" it.

Instead, use condoms correctly and consistently. If they don't break during intercourse, there is no reason to stress or test for HIV outside of standard yearly screening.
