I Just Tested Poz / New diagnosis, drs don't seem concerned
« Last post by lovefishing on Yesterday at 10:43:33 pm »
Background, I learned of my status after a screening (Feb 2023, no symptoms).  Went to my dr, they did a confirmation test and checked levels (VL 250,000, CD4 627), sent to specialist who did a full spectrum check (Hep A/B/C, full std panel, cholesterol, etc, etc), everything there normal.  Then, nothing.   Followup got pushed to Apr, then May, and I'm left scared to touch anyone but it seems nobody in my med community is overly concerned.   See if my primary care will cancel the specialist and start something like Biktarvy now, or will another month not matter that much?

             ojo.           Hello there!.
.. well my surgery went well and I’m doing fine now. I am going to need another surgery to open up my pupil. So we can see if it will help me to see better. it is a small surgery too. I will keep you posted. Sometimes living with HIV, in my case, it feels sometimes, over whelming, but we had to do what we had to do.





About my sister, bad news, she will need to go and get some chemotherapy and her cancer went from phase one to three. she will start three minute next Thursday. Please keep her in your thoughts…
I will keep you posted. Hugs.

If you had penetrated, you would have known about it.

Move on with your life.

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? / Is it possible to have penetration without knowing?
« Last post by Healthylife2023 on March 25, 2023, 11:20:27 am »
Hi staff,

3 days ago I had a massage with a girl. Both of us were naked. She sat in front of me. I’m affraid that when I lie upwards (face up) and her vagina touch my penis and then my penis dip in her vagina without knowing. I remember surely that I didn’t have any feeling of my penis dipping in her vagina.
So can I ask in reality is it possible to have penetration without knowing, without feeling? I was totally conscious at that time.

Sorry for my incompetent English
