Possible Hiv Infection - ??? Posted: 11-06-07 16:59pm
Hi there - I am horrified that I may be
infected with HIV. I had an encounter
with a stripper / call girl. I had brief
protected vaginal intercourse and then she
performed oral sex with condon still on.
This lasted for about 10 minutes. She
then removed the condom and masturbated me
for another 4-5 minutes. The condom did
not rip from what I could tell. I am
really petrified and can't sleep well at
all. I had forgotten about the incident
but after about 4 weeks i got a mild 99.5
fever for about 2 days and some diahrrea.
I went to my doc the following day and
told her about the incident. She said
most likely a passing common virus but
offered to test me to calm my nerves. I
received the std antibody test and an
ultra sensitive pca dna test accurate to
less than 50 copies. Both tests were
negative after 32 days of possible
exposure. I still feel weak and lethargic
and really worried. I went for a second
antibody test yesterday and results were
negative again today. This test was done
at 61 days after possible exposure. My
doc said not worry and I am OK. I am so
scared i am losing my mind. One night of
debuachery may cost me everything. Please
provide some real insight into my
situation. I am beginning to lose it.

Need Not Worry At All! Posted: 11-12-07 06:04am
There is no reason for you to worry at
all. With all the tests giving you
negative results, there is no chance of
still being positive at all. You may read
below to understand HIV in a different
detail.
YOU MUST READ THIS!
This 19yr old mother of a 2ry old has one
day experienced some fever and flu like
symptoms. She's checking online casually
and some how got to this forum and started
to understand her symptoms relate to a HIV
infection. She's written that her kid's
not with his father and how scared she got
learning that she could die soon of HIV if
she was infected at all. I would like you
to step into her shoes and feel the
moments she might have experienced. Think
how hard it is to imagine that your loved
ones are going to miss you and might end
up help-less for their whole life.
Now all this happened only on the
assumption that the symptoms were that of
HIV and not knowing it for sure. If you
read these posts, you will understand all
of them are posted with similar doubts in
mind. And all these posts were written
with the circumstances they experienced
and not the result of the tests they
took.
If you can spare few minutes of your time
and post your test result, then consider
you are helping thousands of scared(as you
are now) people get relieved of their
tension. SO PLEASE POST YOUR TEST RESULT
ONCE YOU GET IT, SO PEOPLE CAN RELATE
THIER CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THE ACTUAL
OUTCOMES!
HIV Facts! (Not the ones you already know
of)
HIV is not that easy to get. It will not
venture out like a cold virus. HIV must
inject its RNA into the human cell and
just cannot live on the side like other
viruses. You must consistently and
thoroughly help it attach itself to a
human cell. Remember it is not a human
disease in the first place. It is only
about 50yr old and still evolving to be a
human virus and it will take atleast a few
thousand years before it can look out for
a human host.
A cut on your finger in the morning might
have already had a plasmatic coating in
about 4Hrs which will usually not allow
HIV to enter in. For a better chance of
infection the cut must be reasonably big,
minutes fresh and with sufficient HIV
virus load. There is virtually 0% cases
reported world-wide that some one got
infected by cut-wound blood transfusion.
HIV infection through oral activity has
about 90% less chances because the HIV
virus does not live outside the fluid for
more than about a minute and saliva,
stomach juices are not good carriers.
HIV did not infect many people who had sex
several hundred times with their HIV +ve
partners unknowingly. Human body has some
unknown resistance to this virus and is
well proven with many people so far.
HIV can be tested accurately(95%) starting
from 2 weeks of possible exposure by a
PCR-DNA test. Relatively Costly. Looks for
HIV in the blood. False Positives are
relatively higher than False Negatives.
HIV can be tested accurately(95%) starting
from 3 months of possible exposure by
antigen and antibody tests (eg: ELISA).
Looks for anti-bodies in the blood that
fight HIV. Tests for all strains of HIV.
HIV cannot stay in the body un-detected by
our recent testing methods. Chances of
non-detection are almost near zero.
HIV can be cured if PEP(ART treatment)
program is given starting within 72 hours
of possible exposure and continued for 2-3
months. The success ratio is 70-80% and
many health-care workers who get stung by
infected needles take this program and a
survey suggests zero out of 400 of
accidentally infected people treated with
PEP program did not get HIV for life.
HIV Symptoms: Usually noticed between 2 to
3 weeks of possible exposure. Flu, Fever,
Sore Throats, Lymph Node Swells, Skin
Rashes(Mostly on the torso), Night Sweats,
Fatigue & Tiredness. Only about 80-90%
of people notice some of these symptoms.
95% of people who feel the above symptoms
without being tested does not have HIV.
The reason for such symptoms are the
bodily reactions controlled by stressed
out minds as HIV is a deadly disease. Mind
has the ability to simulate the symptoms
in the body if your stress is so much that
you think you might die soon.
Most of the HIV surveys so far are
compiled on HIV aggressive areas like
Thailand Drug Usage areas, African Bush
meat eating areas, Asian sex-working areas
etc. So your chances of infection are only
10% of those published in the surveys.
Religion, Spiritual Transition, Redemption
are some of the effective ways to pass
your time while awaiting your test
results. Like most of them you will lack
concentration on work and many make a
mistake by spending time alone. Instead
spend your time with your close ones,
friends, relatives and some time with your
God. Every one commits sin in several ways
and moments like this can be wisely used
to your benefit by redeeming yourself into
a better person. It need not be sexual
sins alone, think of all those un-worthy
things you did, pass your time thinking
how you can better yourself if you are
given a second chance of life. I am 99.99%
sure you will be given this second
chance.
We take time giving practical facts and
help relive your stress, We expect you to
take few minutes of your time to relive
stress of several thousand users of these
forums by POSTING YOUR TEST RESULTS! I
know for sure 99% of people will get -ve
results which is why they forget to come
back to the forums. If they are +ve then
they would definitely come for more info
and would generally respond to the posts.
So, Please once again POST YOUR TEST
RESULTS!
