is this possible?

If I wore a condom during anal sex (2 males) but part of my shaft wasn't covered and it had cuts/scrapes/scratches/open wounds and that part of my shaft went inside the other guy, can I get HIV this way?

I know saliva kills enzymes, but there were obviouisly no enzymes on my tongue because there was no saliva. I sucked on my tongue before slapping his tip/head of his penis directly on the cut...so my tongue was dry and has no saliva on it. And like I said before, the wound was fresh and had wet blood still on it. It was deep also...

No risk even though there was NO saliva on my tongue when slapping the tip of an uncircumcized penis directly onto the wound? It was also still red and had fresh blood...I don't see how that can be no risk :/

I know I suffer from anxiety, and I already have an appt set up with a psychiatrist for it. I can't even sleep for fear of a false negative. Regardless of my risk, could you please tell me the chances of a false negative occuring with these illnesses? I read before that an anal/rectal infection can cause a false negative. Please keep in mind the test will be the EIA one given at the County Health Department. Thanks & God bless...

You never had a risk of contracting HIV in the situation you've provided.

Sorry, but I am really anxious.

I believe my gastrointestinal problems could be due to a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease...seeing as everything else has been ruled out. Could either of these conditions, or both of them together change the accuracy or produce a false negative HIV result from an EIA test?

Another part to my question: My last exposure was on May 25, 2010...and it is now September 13th, 2010...about 2 weeks beyond the window period. Currently I am suffering from 2 illnesses.
1) Really bad eczema or fungal rash on my scrotum...hasn't gone away since february :(
2) Extreme gastroentestinal problems. Done 2 tests for parasites, both negative. Had a colonoscopy performed, found nothing but minor irritation. I am still seeing red chunks (not blood) in stool, and is usually diahre. I also had an occult fecal blood test done, which showed there is NO blood in my stool.

I read on a previous post that an anal or rectal infection is means for a false negative result...I'm terrified that my HIV result will come out negative, but I am truly positive. :/

The test will be the EIA test, from the free clinic.
