Can you help ease my mind about HIV testing??!


Question: I have been with 8 people...only one without protection, we were each others firsts...aside from that, I have been extremely careful...but i have had oral...I am terrified because my results should be back from my first HIV test...What do you think the chances are that I have anything? I think I might throw up...

Getting tested, especially for the first time is very frighting. Congratulations for taking that big step. From what you have said you only unprotected will be fine and if you're worried about oral, don't be. At least as far as HIV goes, if you got a fluid in your mouth that had HIV in it you would either spit it out (no chance for infection) or swallow, where the acid in your stomach would kill the HIV. The only problem would be if you had a mouth full of sores which could allow the HIV to find a receptor cell to attach to.

So don't worry. I know that's really very easy for me to say, I was so afraid the first time I tested, but it gets a whole lot easier. And again, Thank You for caring enough about your self to test.

You can't look backwards or change the past unfortunately but obviously you have had a scare or you want to verify that your healthy and the GREAT...exactly what you should do.

Don't worry too much. I know that's not possible right now but just try and relax and distract yourself. Whatever happens, happens and you learn from your past. Make sure in the future to ALWAYS use protection, even during oral to ensure you don't have to worry anymore and get regular female checkups...you should go yearly no matter what! That will help keep you sane!

First of all chances are small... but to be safe never ever ever have sex with anyone that doesnt wear a condom..... doesnt mean they dont have some sort of std or aids just because they say they are clean.....wear condom, usually oral doesnt give you aids.. unless you had a cut in your mouth but thats rare too.. to be safe just think of you first.. condom for safety... you will be fine...

low chance. Although there is a chance for HIV to be transported through oral sex, its much smaller. Also, not all people in the world are infected ;)
However, always use protection in the future.
