Cant do the job i want cuz too afraid to test

[Oldjewill]

Hi everyone. I want to become an airline pilot and already passed all the test but the medical examination. I was twicw too afraid to go there because i have to do hiv test and dont know whether I am positive or not not.
The only potentially high risks I had was receiwing maybe a hundret unprotected blowjob from different women and also i think I was stabbed by a drug needle laying on a playground into my hand.
I hate that this impedes me doing the job I dream of :(

[Oldjewill]

If there weren’t these incidents I would not be afraid of anything. The only thing i was ever afraid of is this

[CurfewX]

One of the incidents didn't happen, and the other is no risk for HIV.   This is not anxiety support forum.  Take the test or don't.  You do not have HIV.  There's nothing more to say here.

[Oldjewill]

I don’t need any anxiety support but only scientific reasons
Btw stabbing happened but was more like a scratch with the needle

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

You were advised by AnxiousNoMore, in his first post, how HIV *is* transmitted.  Since none of your events were any of the three risks mentioned, you cannot be infected with HIV.  There is nothing more that our members can say about your no-risk events.

The anxiety forum can't diagnose anyone. They will just tell you that anxiety is a mental illness and to seek professional help for it.

This is not a fluke. This is science. Like you can't defy the law of gravity, you can't defy scope of transmission. Oral is not a risk and you were not injected intravenously with infected blood.

I am amazed to see such a vulnerable pilot in you. You have to really up your mind game. If you are evading your licensing due to your own shortcomings and being an escapist by taking this "I might be infected" route, you need to see a therapist for it.

This is an HIV prevention forum, you don't have an HIV concern, we can't participate in your paranoia any more, there is an anxiety forum for it. This is the best this forum can offer you.

[Oldjewill]

The reason is that there might always be a first time. Maybe Im the first after 40 years where the circumstances of oral or the needle injection were a bit different and suddenly the virus made it to the body...

[Oldjewill]

Thanks!
Don’t know why this causes such fears suddenly..
usually never tought about the needle thing. And the oral. Probably have to,worry more about hep c

[AnxiousNoMore]

I am unsure why you came here, since you continue to tell everyone here that no one except you knows how hiv is spread. You don't have any medical training, so it is unrealistic for you to have so much confidence in your science fiction theories, and unrealistic for you to have zero confidence in the 40 years of actual hiv science that we have advised you about.
The only science you believe is your own science fiction. Seek therapy to try to end this irrational thinking that you are like a doctor, because your problem is not disease, it is anxiety which is a bit of a mental health illness for you.

[Oldjewill]

Thanks ;)
Just worried that I am the first one where oral strikes....

[mike_no]

No chance. The odds of you crash landing is astronomically higher than acquiring HIV from oral. No way, no how. Move on.

[mike_no]

You have nothing to worry, receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV. There is not even a single case recorded in the history of this disease of some one getting infected through recieving oral sex.

Also, if you have not seen some one 'injecting' you 'intravenously' with infected blood, you can't suggest that you had a risk, it is most likely is your own paranoia. Getting pricked and being intravenously injected are two different things.

You seem to be very young, if you are always getting bothered by irrational fear of disease and paranoid about things, please seek help for it. You have to be mentally strong, no matter what, captain.

...and how do you know if there is a pilot in the room?... They'll always tell you! :p

One last....If a person is both a pilot and a vegan, which does he announce first? :p

We wish you good luck. :)

Stabbing happened three years ago.  However never had ars and therefore didn’t worry too much

[Oldjewill]

I am not at all afraid of other situations except for hiv. I go parashooting and have the best psychological results to handle difficult situations.  
The only fear in my live is hiv and that the needle stabbing or oral encounter infected me

[CurfewX]

Well, it's irrational thinking to believe that you got stabbed by a needle and didn't know it.

Again, you did NOT get infected by oral sex, and the stabbing event NEVER happened.  You don't get stabbed by a needle and wonder whether it happened or not.

[CurfewX]

I'm not sure how to put this politely, so I'll be straightforward:  Don't become an airline pilot.  No passenger wants an airline pilot who cannot withstand the simple rigor of a routine health test without cowering in fear, nor someone who has an irrational phobia of having been stabbed by a needle without knowing it.

Take the test, but I personally would not feel comfortable with someone so fragile as my pilot, in charge of my life, where an actual dangerous situation could happen.

(Receiving oral sex is ZERO risk for HIV.)

[AnxiousNoMore]

This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
You were not injected with the needle so you had no risk. Thinking you might have been stabbed means you weren't because it would hurt so much that you would be certain.
If you don't test now that you know you had no risk, then you probably don't want the job.
