Hello
Thank you for the post.
Recent infection with HIV means that an individual's body fluids - blood, semen, vaginal fluids etc will be highly infectious because there will be lots of virus in the fluid.
After a few months the amount of virus will decline and the individual becomes less infectious. It seems that you met this chap at around the time he had become HIV positive or shortly after.
There is detectable virus in precum - but not as much as in semen and it also seems to behave slightly differently with less infectious activity.
You are obviously past the PEP period now as your doctor has said.
You can test for HIV using an HIV RNA PCR test from 7 to 10 days after the event and to follow that up with a 4th generation HIV DUO test at 28 days post event.
I think on balance you will be fine actually but clearly a very good idea to check.
very best wishes, Sean
Hello Dr Cummings.Thank you for response.
Now I have read other posts regarding anal fingering with precum on this site and the invariable advice is that it is theoretical risk at best and that testing isn't really necessary.
Now the precum on my partner's finger was a tiny amount and the fingering wasn't long.Also what about receiving oral sex-i read on this site that it is not a risk for hiv..Is it really necessary to test?If I don't have to because of this exposure then I won't.
Please respond.
Thank you.
Hello
You are correct in saying that:-
1) anal fingering with pre-cum is a theoretical risk only and there are no documented cases
2) you will not acquire HIV through being sucked.
Testing is a fairly individual decision. I would be comfortable personally that the activity you have described would not put me, if I were you, at risk. However, its you we're dealing with, not me, so you need to make that choice.
I hope that helps,
best regards, Sean
