Sure, some people have caught HIV after single exposures of apparently low risk. Other people have been hit by meteorites, but it doesn't mean you should go around worrying that you're next or taking precautions to avoid it.
End of thread. Sorry, but this isn't a counseling service. See the last line of my reply above.
Two more questions... and don't worry. I am being treated for this obsession.
I've seen a couple of posts in different forums where people claim they had a one-time encounter and tested positive. Does that happen more that the statistics offer?
I talked to a counselor at HAHC and they said that 98% of tests will be negative in six months, but does that mean there's still a chance that it wouldn't? What's the latest you've seen it take a person to turn positive?
I'm not questioning your response, just trying to alleviate some OVERwhelming anxiety and fear.
Thanks
Thank you! I didn't mean I was nervouse because it was FDA approved, but that I'm crazy to doubt it since it is.
Happy New Year to you!
I looked at your two threads on the HIV community forum. The responses you got there are accurate. To your questions:
1) The risk probably is lower when there is no ejaculation in the vagina. But the question is irrelevant, because it doesn't matter how high or low the risk was during that sexual exposure. The test results prove you weren't infected.
2) Home Access testing is perfectly reliable. I don't understand why a test that is FDA approved would make you nervous about the result.
You can start the new year with 100% confidence you don't have HIV. You need to let this go and move on with your life.
