Hiv fear

[GuyMugen]

i don't think there is really a need to go thru so many tests.

Yes bearing the anxiety, you can see that going thru so many tests just goes on to reinforce the anxiety. As long as the tests are done but still within the window periods, don't think it is conclusive enough.

I think the more important message which should be brought across is that testing "negative" does not mean that you will not get HIV. it just means that at that moment you are tested, you are negative. that's that

What is more important is to PREVENT or MINIMISE HIV risk by proper protection, and making sure you don't anyhow sleep around.

The problem with HIV is not just the affordability of anti-viral drug...the fact is there won't be a peaceful death for you on the day you die....Anti-viral drug in a way is extremely toxic to the body itself. Taking it daily for the rest of your life will guarantee that when you grows old and your immune system is compromised....you are most likely to die from multiple cancers and in great pain....there won't be no peaceful death....

Im terrible frightening now.
On the 25 dec, i went to club with my group of friends. I met a unknown hiv status girl (escort) in the club. Im sure we do not have any sexsual intercourse (bj, anal and viginal).She does light bite and lick my arm, neck and ear. I check the area she bite and i cant find any open wound or bleeding, so i think there is no skin break and i think i be safe from hiv transmission in this situation.
The thing that deeply ghosting me is im had big ulcer around my inner part lips (not sure was it bleeding or in healing process) that moment. We do kissing, of course, mouth to mouth(not a long deep nor France type).
I knew saliva is not a hiv transmit method. But what if her saliva mixed with her blood, will / docummented / is it possible hiv transmit to me in this situation? How much (two to three drops or a tea spoon) of blood in the saliva will allow hiv transmit.

I think you r over reacting already.

I understand how u feel. I had this feeling months ago and I don't want another experience liddat again. Go for the test 1 month after exposure and deal with it once and for all. As advice from samsters and Dr Tan.

relax lah. the chances of an infection via kissing is extremely low. Saliva itself inhibits HIV. You need a big enough viral load for infection to happen, so I would not worry about it.

There are lots of non-peaceful deaths: traffic accidents, stroke, cancer, kidney failure, liver failure, etc. Many types deaths are not peaceful. A quick walk through the cancer ward of any hospital will show you many examples. Just have to accept that this is a fact of life.
