What's the Probability I Have HIV / AIDS Posted: 09-04-07 23:39pm
I have been studying in China for over two
years now and there was one night last
year in October that I did something that
might affect the whole of my life. It was
a Saturday night and I was out with
friends at a bar, and down to the point, I
went home with a chinese girl. Usually
Chinese girls a very conservative and the
girl i went home with wasn't which leads
me to believe she may have been a
prostitute .
We had unprotected sex three times
and some time later(1 mnth) I developed
what I believe to be swollen lymph nodes
in the fold between my groin and leg which
re occured a few months after it had
disappeared.
I am fairly confident in saying
that I DEFINITELY DID contract a sexually
transmitted disease from her as I have
experienced a little discharge and a
little pain just after urinating (more of
a burning sensation)
I haven't been tested yet . I need to go
home and get tested because i'm afraid of
deportation. I am really really scared. I
don't know what to do in my present
situation and there is really no one i can
tell apart from this site. I heard that
the probability of contracting hiv through
unprotected sex is very slim 1/2000 . I
just needed to tell someone so i put it
down here.

You mean you want to go home to your
country and get tested. That can wait coz
we are talking China but you must get
treated for other sexually transmitted
diseases. Those cannot wait. I know
China denies the fact that they have
AIDS.
While you wait to test, make sure not to
put yourself or others in danger. Use
protection. When are you going home to
your country?
I disagree with 1/2000 ratio. The fluids
that carry Hiv in the body include semen
and vaginal fluids. During sex, there is
friction and little cuts and tears that we
do not feel get created and the virus
finds a way in. Unprotected sex is up
there on the list of ways to get
HIV/AIDS.
Make sure to get treated for other STDs.
They wouldn't deport you for those I don't
think.
When one has an STD, it easier to contract
HIV.
All the best

Good advise,Mson....yes, places like China
and Jamaica are very much in denial and
intolerant when it comes to HIV and
AIDS...sad.
