Unprotected Sex :: Fearing The HIV Exposure
Aug 16, 2013
I'm a female, had unprotected vaginal and oral sex 4 weeks ago. Two days after that a guy told me he was sick (sore throat and lite fever). A week after that I got sick (sore throat, stuffed nose and cough), which passed in about a week and felt like a usual cold. However, I am fearing the HIV exposure. Had two negative oraquick tests (3 and 4 weeks), had complete blood work at the doctors (including NAT) 5 days ago, but the results are not in yet. I have bouts of panic and anxiety over this. Why does it take such a long time for the results to arrive (I did the whole STD panel, some results are in but they won't tell me which ones)? Does it mean that I tested positive and the lab is confirming the results which takes additional time, or is it normal to take that long? How reliable is the negative oraquick test at 4 weeks? Please help!
P.S. The guy says he's clean, supposedly he's just got off the LTR and his ex has recently tested negative for everything. I know for sure I was clean too, haven't had sex for almost a year prior to that and donate blood regularly.
P.S.2 My only symptoms were sore throat, cough and runny nose. I didn't have rash, swollen lymph nodes, fever and all that... I understand this is consistent with the common cold, but yet don't know how to survive till Monday. How do I stop myself from compulsive oraquick testing?

I am a 26 usually healthy male. Almost four weeks ago had sex with a 37 year old woman, condom broke unnoticed for we don't know how long. I panicked. 48 hours later was started on pep treatment for possible hiv exposure for 28 days.
10 days later an open sore emerged on the bottom of my penis along with swollen non painful pelvic lymph glands on both sides. Went to an std doctor who said it doesn't look like syphilis but i should get tested in a month. Got tested on 14 day after exposure blood and urine for all std, all negative. Today is 25 days after exposure and i have a few questions :
1. Are 4 weeks after exposure enough for blood and urine tests to show std infections such as syphilis? By the way the sore didn't hurt and was gone after a week.
2. If it is syphilis what are the chances she gave me hiv along with it.? i read a lot and am petrified about this.
3. What are the chances that pep would work if taken 48~50 hours after incident?

I received a lap dance in an adult bookstore.
There was no touching (of me) but by me, save rubbing the legs of my jeans or me touching/ untangling some jeweled thingy from her lingerie.
BUT I did masterbate and at one point even rubbed the tip of my penis head which was soaked with precum, with my hand. She had touched herself a few times but never touched me and never anywhere near my penis.
My specific question is this.
Because of the fluid from my penis is there a "way in," for any stds? Or is Precum something that only goes out not back in. Does Me touching my penis especially the Precum make me at risk for any stds?

I had IPL laser hair removal at a local salon. The technician gave me 5 sessions (each which included a free retouch session meaning a total of 10) with an interval of two weeks. Obviously i hadn't done my research well and it didn't work. I am going to the leading laser hair removal in my country now..my concern is ...is that too much laser exposure to my area and my ovaries? Would this cause infertility or anything of that matter? It's not about the laser itself but to the amount of exposure that i am being exposed to.

Has anyone here ever gotten positive gonorrhea after unprotected oral sex ?
There seems to be conflicting information. For chlamydia and trichomoniasis it is said that these bacteria do not survive in mouth. Gonorrhea affects the back of throat and can be acquired more easily with deep-throat only.
So my question is , has anyone here caught gonorrhea from oral exposure only ?

I had a non sexual encounter with a bar girl some days back. During the process she gave me a hand job and we had smooched for a couple of times. After 4-5 days of this incident, I got some sore throat which got aggravated to running nose and some light cold as I was sleeping in air conditioning environment. Since then I have been extremely worried if there is even a slightest possibility that it is due to the transmission of HIV virus. I am not able to correlate the occurrence of sore throat and extremely worried because of that.

I was just wondering could oraquick be used after a year of exposure or what kind of test could be used after a year?

I know my question may have been asked a million times before but I want to get a first hand assessment of my potential risk with HIV based from the series of events that acquired during that night. I was firm to believe that oral sex is safe - up until I read some articles on the internet. Some websites say it's low-risk. Some say it is moderate risk. I do not know which claim is more true than the other
So how this is my last sexual encounter went:
- So I met guys
- I did brush my teeth lightly.
- We basically did give and receive oral sex. No anal sex was done .
- One of the two guys did finger me.
- The whole act last around 30 - 40 minutes
- he ejaculated 5-10 minutes after through masturbation. He "unleashed" it in my legs or in my chest.
- About a minute or two, I gargled water
- We had a small talk after the deed. I was kind of hesitant to believe that he was negative although that's what he did told me. Aside from that, he told me that what we did was a low-risk activity.
Now for my questions:
- Let' say he was indeed positive, what are the chances of him passing the virus on this one time incident?
- From what I have read over at the internet, saliva has a capability to deactivate the virus once any fluid comes contact to it. Is this accurate? Does brushing one's teeth lessen this saliva's capability?
- Is pre-ejaculate just as infectious as semen or blood?
- Would brushing my teeth before or after the act really create cuts/bleeds deep enough that some pre-ejaculate may come in contact with my bloodstream?
- What about deep throat oral sex. What are the risks say he had pre-ejaculate if I was doing it to him?
- Let's also assume that he had a soaring viral load, will this affect my chances? Again, some websites argue that the higher the VL, the higher the risk one is exposed to.
- What are your thoughts about fingering. Is this safer than say, oral and anal sex?
- where I live we have Rapid ICT for testing. How conclusive is it on 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks of testing? Should I be tested after 12 weeks for it to be definitely conclusive or 12 weeks is more than enough?
I know that the only way to know my status is to get tested. It was only been six weeks since the act happened and my anxiety has been killing me to death regarding this incident. I do not want to be the first person documented to have contracted the disease through oral sex.

I am struggling with a concern I have been having for about two weeks. I have taken the oraquick at home oral swab 4 times And tested negative 4 times.. I feel as though my first result wasn't completely followed as directed so really only 3 negative results.. It has been 3 years since I would have came in contact with HIV.. So I guess my question is..Can I trust these results?

I would like to ask if these instant tests (those with the one spot - two spots) are valid 4-5 weeks post exposure.

Exactly one week and 1 day ago I received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker in South Africa (known for HIV). It lasted for about 30 minutes. I know I made a major mistake. Statistically she had HIV as 70% of sex workers are positive. She had false teeth in her mouth and removed it for the purposes of the ******* which means she definitely had blood in her mouth and there was deep throating involved. I am more than certain I got the virus and don't know how to deal with it. I know many people experience phantom pains but I definitely have tender lymph nodes in my face and neck, fever, sore throat, all the typical signs I contracted the virus. I took a test 2 days after and of course it was negative due to the window period and no prior sexual experience (NONE). I am considering taking my own life due to this issue. I come from a VERY conservative family and they would never be able to deal with this. What should I do?

Around my anus feels hard and lumpy and now today i noticed one lump is visible. It looks like a little bubble/sack of blood. Do hemorrhoids contain blood? I can press on it and push it in a bit it feels soft inside. Do hemorrhoids feel soft and can be pushed or are they hard and solid?
Also the only thing i can think of is having sex with a stranger 4 weeks ago. He wore a condom but i was drunk and can't remember if it came off or broke or if he took it off so i am worried could that have caused this? Does it sound like a hemorrhoid or a wart caused by stds? We didn't have anal just vaginal but i know it's all connected and close together. I'm worried because i don't know what it is if it s a hemorrhoid or not

I had unprotected sex with someone. I haven't gotten an actual period in two months. About a week after the unprotected sex I just had a day of light bleeding and cramping. My breasts are sore and I've noticed the area surrounding my Nipples has darkened and it really hurts to touch them. I can't even wear a bra without pain.

I'm 18 years old and have been on the POP pill since I turned 14 due to discharge problems. June 2013 I went onto the depo shot instead of the pill. I came off any contraception December 2013 as I was not sexually active. Recently, I have been having unprotected sex (past 2 or 3 weeks). I also had unprotected sex during what I thought was my period, though I then read online it may not have been a period, and just spotting. Since first becoming sexually active again, my discharge has become a lot heavier and quite watery. Sometimes it smells, but not fishy.
It sounds stupid, though I didn't think I was ovulating again due to not having any periods for so long.
A couple of questions;
Can you get pregnant on your "period"?
should I take a test?
Are these signs of pregnancy?
How early can I take a test?
Am I more likely to get pregnant due to not knowing when I ovulated?
Any other points you can add would be taken into account generously.

I had unprotected sex for the first time on February 13th of this year. I had gotten my period the previous Sunday (February 7th) and it lasted until Friday February 12th. Typically I get my period at the beginning of every month and it lasts about a week each cycle.
I don't think he came inside me however just in case he did, is there any chance I could be pregnant? Also... (bear with me) if I were to masturbate, would it help any sperm stay alive inside me even if I do it days after I had sex?
I'm pretty nervous mainly because I've never had unprotected sex. I did read somewhere that If I had sex the day after my period ended, it's almost impossible to become pregnant but how accurate is this?
