Title: Possibly infection from giving oral
Post by: Geenie on September 30, 2012, 03:41:33 pm
 Hello,

A month ago I gave a fellatio to a guy and now I'm really concerned if I could be infected. It was a brief blowjob cause I was not really into what I was doing, maybe less than 30 seconds and I think I didn't tasted any pre cum.

On that day, I was very drunk and had used tooth stick to clean some food on my teeth, and that might had caused some small cuts on my gum. I also got a carie.

16 days after this encounter I had a HIV test (recombinant antigens GP41(ENV) and P24(GAG) for HIV-1 and GP36(ENV) for HIV-2) as I do every year and tested negative.

Was there any risk on this encounter? Even taking in consideration my gums might be cut, I had a carie and was drunk?

Since I took the test 16 days after the encounter, how accurate would be the results? I know the test should be done after 3 months but how accurate 16 days after would be? any?

My antibody result was 0,2 and its said below 1,0 its not reagent. Does this helps answering my second question about taking the test after 16 days. Would the antibody count be possibly higher in case of infection?

Thank you,

I would not even think of recommending an HIV test over the incident as you described it.

If you wear a condom for penetrative sex you will avoid HIV. It's really that simple.

Thank you. What about the possibility of having my gum cut and having a dental carie? Do this increase my risk?

What about my second question, was there any possibility of the p24 antigen detect an early infection after 16 days? How accurate that test would be?

Thanks,

Geenie,

You're not going to become infected from a thirty second blowjob, gum cuts or no gum cuts.

You don't have hiv.

Thank you Ann, what about having a dental carie?

I was very anxious and took another (recombinant antigens GP41(ENV) and P24(GAG) for HIV-1 and GP36(ENV) for HIV-2) test after 4 weeks (yesterday) and it came back negative today.

On my first test the antibody results was 0,2 and now its 0,18, does this tells anything? Being lower than the first one is any sign? If I would be infected this number should be increasing?

Sorry for keeping asking but the answers will bring some peace to my mind.

Geenie,

If by "carie" you mean "cavity", then it's not going to make a difference.

You don't have hiv because you haven't had a risk.
