You never had a risk.

There was absolutely no risk for HIV transmission. Read our lesson on Transmission. There's a link to it in the Welcome thread which opens this section.

HIV is a fragile virus and is not passed from environmental surfaces such as fabrics, doorknobs, furniture and other such. You are worrying needlessly. Read that lesson and get with the real risks for HIV.

Happy, you may not be able to do anything about your friend's behavior. But you can control your own. Just make sure that if you are having either vaginal or anal intercourse the guy is always without exception wearing a condom. Then you will be well protected against the transmission of HIV.

I've merged your threads here. In the future please follow our rule and keep all of your entries in the same thread. Thanks for your cooperation.

HIV tests can initially be mistakenly positive for all sorts of reasons. A positive result is always checked by having a western blot done. That is a more specific test and a negative on the western blot always trumps the positive on the Elisa.

So your bf is negative as I assume a western blot was done for the second test.

Im not sure..They took blood from his arm and put in a tube like container..it took 4-5 hours for the results..

Andy Velez · « **Reply #11 on:** June 24, 2010, 01:26:34 pm »

Don't guess. He should ask them what the confirming test(s) were.

If there were no penetration then you didn't have and exposure and don't need an HIV test.

As you have been told previously, it's a rule here for you to always write only in your original thread. I've again merged your new thread with the old one. Please follow our rule or next time you will get a Time Out about this.

With regard to your latest concern, once again there was absolutely no risk during your bloody kissing incident. Kissing of any sort is not a risk. Period.

As you have also been told previously, the only confirmed risks for the sexual transmission of HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. As long as you always use condoms for those activities you will be well protected. Yes, it really is just that simple.

So there is no need for testing nor further concern this time.

Happy,

I agree with Andy that you did not have a risk for hiv infection during this kiss. I understand that you tasted some of his blood from his nose, but because your saliva contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes the damage hiv and render it unable to infect, you were not at risk. You would have had to got a mouthful of blood before it would be remotely risky. A "taste" of blood is not a concern.

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 OVER A KISS, 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.

Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

Ann
