PEP
Hi! I had a massage at an adult entertainment outlet. I was naked. As it was an erotic massage I kissed the lady with an open mouth a few times. i was excited and she relieved me with a hand job. I remember she used her saliva when doing the hand job on my penis. I realized and did not have any sexual activity -vaginal, oral or anal with the lady and walked out.. i am worried about risk of HIv transmission. It is less than 48 hrs from the incident. Do I need any post exposure prophylaxis?
Please advise.
Is there any reason *AT ALL* why a negative Qualitative RNA test (TMA - 30 copies) taken 28 days after completion of PEP ... would not provide the same reassurance of a negative Antibody test at 6 months? (Other than the less than 1% chance that the individual is an Elite Controller).
I have spent the past 8 weeks struggling with this because of the conflicting information from Doctor to Doctor. HIV specialists I have spoken to have told me one thing. Yet doctors online seem uncomfortable acknowledging the accuracy of a Negative RNA result. When they are questioned as to why, they provide the following reasons: (1) Its expensive and (2) There's a chance of false positives.
Neither of these reasons has anything to do with the accuracy of a *negative* result. Neither negates the data showing that a negative result at 28 days post-PEP is confirmation of no pending HIV infection. It is very frustrating that i can not get a straight-forward answer about this.
Is the "Elite Controller" issue the *only* reason why a Negative RNA result might be inaccurate? If so, we are talking less than 1% of people on earth. Is there any other reason why an RNA result 28 days after finishing Postexposure Prophylaxis medications would not be conclusive proof that there is no HIV virus in that person's body?
Hello. It's nasty I know. We use huge gallons of fish blood and remains. Fish and some human blood from cuts that my fellow fishermen had. I fell inside the big tank and some came in my mouth and eyes. Do I test or go on PEP?
HI there,
It is a scary moment for me right now as I had sex yesterday and the condom broke inside me and i had some cum all in me. The guy I had sex said he is clean and tested Jan. Of course I;m terrified about it and didn't sleep at all last night... I want to get tested of course, but I;m soooo scared and no idea what to do if the test comes +...
Is there a "pill" or something I should do as this happened less than 24 hours?
Sorry to be so opened but when that happened I duched and cleaned myself in the shower with water for like 10 min or so...
Is there any thing I should do or know? Is there any test that I can go in and get it done and know the result right away? The wait would just kill me and I wouldn't be able to go through this...
I'm freaking out of course.. any help and comment would be soooooo good right now...
thanks a bunch!
Hi.
My friend visited a doctor a few days ago because he did not feel so well.
The doctor did some blood tests and gave him lamivudine/zidovudine & another drug i cant remember the name of.
Based on my research, all of these drugs treat HIV.He was advised to take them for about a month.Is there chance that these drugs could be used to treat something else other than HIV?
My friend does not seem to understand yet he says his test showed HIV-negative.
Please help us understand.
Hi. I experienced a significant HIV risk. I had intercourse with a Thai sex worker and when I withdrew I realized the condomn has broken. I went on PEP for 28 days. I see that the HIV duo test at 6 weeks is seen as conclusive. However, does PEP alter the accuracy of the result. What would you say is the accuracy after taking PEP?
Is it possible for hiv antibodies not to be detected after 13 months post exposure ?
