Please do not post about this again, thank you.

the condom broke, so I l came out immediately.

Test to confirm your HIV status six weeks after the potential exposure with a blood draw (lab) HIV antibody test. A non-reactive result at that time would rarely change. Also, consider getting an STI screening for far easier-to-acquire STIs and talk to your healthcare provider about getting vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Do I Have HIV? / Re: Urgent question
« Last post by Jim Allen on Today at 03:03:53 pm »
Hiya.

You did not give your son HIV.



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

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

Do I Have HIV? / Urgent question
« Last post by Boyj48175 on Today at 02:59:20 pm »
Hello and thank you for this forum. I have a strange and pressing question... I am married and had a first-time encounter at a bachelor party with CSW, and unfortunately, the condom broke, so I l came out immediately. I'm in a window period and waiting to get tested.

Of course, I didn't tell anything to my wife, and I won't have sex with her until 6 weeks pass and I get tested. A strange incident happened when I was holding my two-and-a-half-year-old boy in my arms, and he accidentally scratched me deeply in my nose with his fingernails, causing a lot of bleeding. I saw that he put his hand in his mouth afterward, and I'm under immense stress. Is there a chance that if I caught something, it could pass to him?

Living With HIV / Re: Regular labwork didn’t go as planned

                     ojo.                 Hell numbers, if you knew how many times I felt like you after seeing a lab work result was mistake And they way I felt,



          @numberguy82…I didn’t mean “hell numbers” when I tried to type (dictating) Wes hello numbers because I forgot your user’s name, but, as Leatherman says, numbers are numbers and sometimes we had to get them checked if they come back bad, then we worry about it and check West next to solve the problem.


Ps. again, I’m sorry for the typos, when I post I use the dictation of my cell phone.

Do I Have HIV? / Re: Blood Draw
« Last post by Jim Allen on Today at 08:36:31 am »
your initial post already asked me about "fresh or reused" during the blood draw and I've already answered.

Relax, Move on with your life or talk to the clinic.

Jim Sir Pls clear my first and last doubt. If there have been blood on bore(tip) of the needle or body of the needle from previous draw and that reuse needle punctures and gets in my vein then possibility of any blood from the needle mixes with veins blood. Its still no risk scenario.?
