Risk Factors

[answerseek]

Teak.
you seem to know alot about getting hiv
How are most people that have hiv get it?
what are some high risk situations?
on a scale of 1 to 10, what is the risk factor in vaginal intercourse?

[worried826]

I agree, you are negative, now you can relax. Congrats.

[answerseek]

I received a negative from a 9 week oral test!!!!

I know its not 3 months but Im thinkin that's as good as gold!

What does everyone else think?

[LIZZIE LOU]

expect a negative...

move on...you did not have a risk.

[answerseek]

really?

even with the tip of me touching her? and me wiping off myself with the used condom?

I don't know what you mean by oral, I just know they put a pad with a stick in my mouth.
I should get the results this week sometime

[Teak]

You didn't have a risk. By the way an oral test is not a saliva test.

[answerseek]

I had sex with a sexworker 10 weeks ago, I got tested with a saliva test at 9 weeks, Im still waiting for the results. I don't know how reliable the saliva test will be at 9 weeks.

she started to guide me in without protection.. I had been drinking so I don't remember everything exaclty but my tip touched her breifly before I backed up and put protection on.  after that I pulled the condom off and with nothing to clean up with, I stupidly used the condom to wipe off, then I put on a new one and continued.

What are my risks?

how reliable is the saliva test at 9 weeks?

Thanks teak

[answerseek]

Does anyone know if achy testicles is a sign of swollen nodes in the groin area?

[answerseek]

thanks Lizzie

Are achy testicles a sign of swollen nodes in the groin area?

[LIZZIE LOU]

NO

[answerseek]

Teak.. Do swollen glands caused from hiv have pain?

[answerseek]

I read on here somewhere that swollen nodes caused from hiv dont hurt

anyone know if that's true?

also.. I had a saliva test done at 9 weeks. I should get the results this week

how reliable will that be at 9 weeks since its not an acutal blood test?

[Frank303]

The CDC weigh the risk in per 10,000 episodes.
Have a look at the Doctors Forum.
No risk for protected.

[Too_worried]

They use different tests for donated blood, that work on finding a protein, not the antibody. Donated blood is safe

[answerseek]

If it takes so anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months to detect Hiv, How can you be sure donated blood isn't infected?

[ECN44120]

This are the risk stimates for each way of trasnmission.

[worried826]

You cant judge the risk on a 1 to 10 scale. Most people that catch HIV catch it from sex, anal being the highest risk.

Now knock off your posting, you never had a risk because you were PROTECTED!!!! They call it that for a reason.
