hello doctors
im a 20 year old virgin because of fear of Hiv heterosexual
i did hiv testing on feb 2011 which was negative
i went to a stripclub and i kissed one of the dancer for 5 min on and off
i noticed blood on my tounge after that
after 7 days i went and did an antibody hiv testing and waiting for the result .
the dancer looked clean and she said she just started few weeks ago . and she used to work at hooters
i went back to the stripclub and asked her if she did STD testing ..she said she do it every few months
asked about the last test she said around 2 months ago and it was clean. she also said we only kissed
im really scared
im not sure if i can belive her on this .
am i at risk for HIv ?
can a 7 days test detect antibodies ?
should i test later ?

No risk -- French, Polish, American, or Armenian. No risk. And blood makes no significant difference. Nobody in the world ever caught HIV from the sorts of events you describe, and you are not going to be the first.
Your hand sanitizer will help prevent colds and flu. It will have no effect on your already zero risk of catching HIV.
Please seek professional counseling. Your mental health is the only health problem in evidence in these questions. I truly suggest it out of true compassion, not criticism. Please follow through.

Welcome to the forum.
HIV is not transmitted by kissing. Since you're a virgin, there obviously was no reason for you to be HIV tested, assuming you're not an injection drug user who shares needles. You should not have any more HIV tests unless and until you start having unprotected intercourse.
I'm quite concerned about your mental health. It is not normal to be so fearful when there is no risk, and fear of contagion sometimes is an early sign of serious disability. For an excellent illustration, see "The Aviator", the film biography of Howard Hughes, with Leonardo DiCaprio. (And a terrific movie, by the way.)
But for now, try to stop worrying about HIV. There is no chance you were infected by the events you describe -- even if the stripper had HIV, but of course most such women don't have it anyway.
