what are the risks of catching HIV from a quickie/no ejacuation?
i know this is a silly question, and i know that hiv can be transmitted through sexual intercourse, blood, and semens, but does the time matters? Say, 3 minutes, and he didnt come. I'm waiting for my 6-8 weeks period to get tested and I'm really worried now. It was a mistake, i accidentally had unprotected sex with this guy in a car but it didnt go well so we stopped after 3-4 minutes, and none of us came. I know there's nothing I can do but wait, but i'm just trying to eliminate choices here, and hoping someone could help me clarifying this. Thanks much.
What exactly in layman's terms is HIV sheading ...? Couldn't find anything about it here ...?
well, I told you I was tested NEGATIVE at that time, and I wasn't informed about this 6-8 weeks period until I went back to see the doctor again. So I would assume I was clear back then.
If you are positive yes. Why would you have unprotected sex with anyone if you were being tested for an exposure and you didn't know your status?
I also have another question, Teak.
say, if i had another exposure during that 3 week times (during the time that I was tested negative for HIV and already treated for Chlamydia; I wasnt informed about that 6-8 weeks period back then), is there a chance I can pass it on to my other partner without knowing? I know you might as well say 'use condom' but please just bare with me.

thanks tom24978 for cheering up, and thanks Teak for clarifying.
I was told by the doctor to wait for that 6 weeks period; I was tested positive for Chlamydia as soon as I had an exposure (with my other partner) -- that's why I'm worried. my result also came out negative for HIV; but then it was only 3 weeks at that time, so I am now waiting for another test to make sure I don't have HIV (or worst case scenario, I do). I guess there's nothing I can do but wait, blame my carelessness and finger-crossed; but thank you all anyways.

The guidelines for a conclusive negative test result is 3 months. There are no tests marketed or sold to give anyone a conclusive negative test any earlier.
I no your scared.I would like to calm you down about the situation.well maybe if i share a bit of my experience it will maybe calm you.I had unprotected sex with someone i never saw in my life and i waited for the time to go by to get tested.It came back negative(all stds).
Thats to tell you not everyone has hiv.But to be on the safe side still get a test within 3-6 Weeks.
Trust me.You will be fine!
