oral herpes and hiv
There are talks about HSV2 (genital herpes) can increase the risk for HIV... How about HSV1(oral herpes) and oral sex...?
My exposure is fingering and cunilingus. I am experiencing nearly every symptom, even though Dr. HHH has assured me I am near zero risk. The coincidence of the situation is overwhelming. Its also amazing that he hasn't had one person in the Doctor- Patient forum come back positive. I guess this is all good. Are we freaked out for nothing. My symptoms keep telling me otherwise. I('m only on day 15 and don't know how I will be able to wait antoher 15 days to do a DUO test. I'm losing my mind. Do you think it is strictly mental. Somebody had to get this disease....if nobody in the forum is then who?
I'm not agitated... I don't think you have anything to worry about. I don't think you even need to test, if you do, it will surely be negative! Be good.
thanks reg... I kept asking you since you looks knowledgeable...
My exposure is eating out, protected bj, protected vaginal and DFK
sorry not mean to agitate you...

Look, it increases the risk, but when you muliply something by zero you still get zero.
If you are worried about an exposure take a test after three months. If your only exposure was eating out, it will be negative.

The "risky" vaginal secretion is deep in the vagina, in the cervical region. The risk from cunnilingus is negligible (probably zero) unless the woman is mensing. And even then it is still very low.
But in cunnilingus, the vaginal secretion is in contact to your tongue at least right? and it is less risky?
Because in fellatio a guy is spraying his infectious semen all over your oral cavity. If there is an open sore in your mouth it is possible for the virus to get in - but still unlikely.
Probably increases the risk, but it would still be very low. No studies on this have been done to my knowledge - and probably will never be done.
