Hello. Firstly I wanted to say that I had
unprotected oral sex with another man and
2 days later I had a urine track infection
(UTI). 2 weeks later I went and had an HIV
test done and the test results came back
negative (nonreactive). Then on the 3rd
week I got a severe sore throat that
lasted me 2 weeks and now I am fine and
just with a runny nose.
I am scared that the test could have been
wrong since it was only 2 weeks after
receiving oral sex. I was told that the
risk is so low so should I worry?

Were you giving or receiving oral sex?
The person receiving oral sex is only
coming into contact with the other
person's saliva. The giver is coming in
touch with pre-cum and possibly semen.
This fliuds have enough HIV to cause
infection.
The general oral health hygiene of the
person giving oral sex is very important.
If there are tiny cuts and tears in the
mouth, this will cause infection to occur.
It is recommended to wait at least an
hour after brushing or flossing your mouth
before a hot date. And don't eat sharp
items like chips etc.
To have an accurate HIV blood test, you
would have to wait three months from the
supposed point of infection.
I was the one receiving the oral from
another man. There was no sex involved at
all. He was sucking me and I ejaculated
into his mouth.

that is sex...oral sex. If there are even
minute cuts in the mouth or penis then the
HIV virus can be spread. Mson knows best,
follow her advise to the T..Good Luck

This is what I read after you explained
that you were the receiver.
"...Getting a blow job is considered a
very low risk sexual activity. In general,
if someone is getting a blow job and has
no cuts, scratches or sores on his penis,
the possibility of his being exposed to
HIV is lower. If the man giving the blow
job has good oral hygiene and his mouth is
free of infection, then the inserter's
penis is primarily being exposed only to
saliva. Getting a blow job might also be
safer than giving one because ejaculating
might flush out the virus. Urinating and
washing the penis also reduce the chances
of HIV infection and of additional
infection..."
My thoughts are that you should go see a
doctor and explain everything. The UTI
and all that you have suffered. Get
tested for other STIs and have the
patience to wait three months to get your
accurate HIV test results. Then wait
another three months and get tested again.
That means that you will not put yourself
at risk. It is tough.
Make sure to use protection from now on.
That is something I was not told mbae
anyone and so I might have infected
people. Now that is dumb.
You are not dumb. You are the opposite of
dumb. You are smart. You came here to
find help. In 1993 when I was told in
Kenya at age 24 that I had AIDS, I had no
idea what the Internet was. I was
ignorant. Not you my friend. Feeling
dumb is not going to help you. You know
you are smart. Act smart. Be smart.
Don't let this bring you down. I never
gave up life because of HIV. Bipolar is
another story. I almost died.
Mental health is very important always but
especially as you go through the waiting
for tests and the waiting for the test
results. I had never read that somewhere,
nobody had ever told me that I need my
mind. Having Bipolar taught me.
Homerx humbles me when he says I know
best. I got interested with HIV/AIDS
because I had it. If I did not have it, I
would not be as deeply involved as I am
today. There is still so much to learn
but I do have the basics. Thanks
Homerx:)
Just relaxing after work.
Thinking about you.
Always
Muthoni (Mson).

The Two Of You Humble Me Posted: 05-08-08 19:24pm
I woke up this morning thinking that you
Mson, and you Homer both have the gifts of
understanding, the gifts of inspiration
and the gifts of motivation. Do you
realize how much good you are doing on
this our planet, the Earth?
I believe we come onto this Earth to
experience love, sorrow, difficulties,
challenges and best of all friendship and
the shelter we find in kindness from one
another. I bless you for what you have
given to me and to so many others.
Keep up your wonderful and good work.
Bobbie

Bobbie my dear! Posted: 05-08-08 21:29pm
Thanks very much for your kind remarks. I
really you Bobbie.
what is it that gives a person so much
pleasure in giving oral pleasure to
somebody they love? I believe that it is
just being in love with them and wanting
to fully love them. There is nothing in
my mind wrong with the expression of love,
oral sex or the sharing of ourselves with
somebody we love. What could possibly be
more intimate than oral sex? Kissing you
can do to a friend. To be totally
intimate, orally with a person, that to me
speaks volumns about your willingness to
be totally with them. You give up
yourself to be with them. I personally
liked it. My doctor told me that she
loves oral sex too. So there have to be
people out there who do!
Mson is right though. I had actually
never experienced that kind of thing for
many, many years and she is right. Maybe
that put me at risk for being ignorant on
the risks involved with brushing/flossing
my teeth and possibly have small tears
inside my mouth and having oral sex in a
small amount of time. We live and we
learn, I guess.
Homer, too is here to tell us of the risks
involved. I know for sure I came down
with a really bad throat infection, my
tongue was green after that encounter with
my former BF. I saw
my doctor. She treated me.
Take care of yourselves. That is first
and foremost. Mson and Homer are your
guardian angels to remind you of that.
With love,
Bobbie
