What about recieving? i had a blow job that lasted about 3 minutes. How much am I at risk?

Had oral from a well known escort on adultw-rk. Question is what are the chances of picking up something from her? I know HIV is rare, not sure about others.

Did a second saliva test, again negative. I think that's conclusive.

Just did one of those myself. Was a bit concerned with some of the symptoms I'd been showing for a while now, so I bought one. Turns out I'm still neg, and that those symptoms are attributed to my workplace. But yeah, definitely get a fresh test/kit.

Well the kit was all sealed and had a use by date of the end of this year. The test came back negative.

Im in the uk and havent had bb sex for years.

Test came back negative. How accurate are saliva tests? do you need alot of saliva for a result?

Thanks guys doing it tomorrow then posting it off. I read lots of other forums where people think they are at risk and have every sympton under the sun and come back negative. I know it means nothing but i have never had a rash, not sure if i have had the flu properley (does two days count) i have colds that come and go and have had 24 hour viruses. But i know that dont mean jack.

I had a fuck buddy who I had sex with (bareback) on about six occasions. I didn't see her for awhile then she txt me to say she was pregnant and it was between me and another guy. She had the baby and said it wasn't mine. We then had sex again (bareback) that was eight years ago. Since then she has had another kid so obviously she has been tested as its routine. I have asked if I was at risk and she has said no. Now im just paranoid that she might be lying and I guess ive just been scared to get tested.

Do you think after eight years I might start to show some signs that im possibly positive? or just lucky at the moment?

No its been eight years since i barebacked. The kit ive had a few months.

Correct it is just a swab and a container. Waited eight years to do this, dumb I know! still unsure what the outcome will be!

I bought a oral testing kit online several months back with the intention of using it. Its one you send back to the lab. I have only just found it again and was wondering is it still ok to use?

Ok im very sorry for any insulting words towards other members on the board, how I worded things was wrong and I apologise. I came here for advice and I thank you all for the advice given. Maybe my story does come across as a bit weird and yes I should by now be tested. Just the fear I have at the moment of the result. Some days I think there is no way I have hiv and others I convince myself I have.

Have spent most of the weekend getting in contact with the women in question, As I expected none were too happy with me asking about their status! Im waiting on one more person but all have said they are clean.

They were all women. But thanks for your reply.

Well this will be my first time. Kit should arrive tomorrow.

Well ive convinced myself its going to be bad news. But will just have to wait and see.

You must have been really worried if your last time was 5 years ago. I wonder what you're doing on this site or hoping to get out of it?

Ok have ordered an oral testing kit. Now starting to worry. Not looking forward to doing the test.

Ok one last thing..the last person i barebacked was a fuck buddy, we had sex on six occasions. Since then she has had two kids so would it be safe to say she is negative? And if i had something she would of contracted it?

Again, not meaning to be rude, I'd say you fit into the category of "worried well". We saw an awful lot of this is the eighties when people transferred their guilt at what they'd done to HIV. It was like they were secretly hoping to have caught it as a "punishment" for what they saw as things they'd done wrong in their life. It didn't even have to be sexual: some of the scenarios people invented to punish themselves with were really quite inventive, like being a few drops of vomit from a drunk on a bus landing on their coat.

Go have an HIV test: it's easy enough to do. If necessary lie and say it's for a friend. When it turns up negative (as I'm 99.99999% certain it will), if you still have these feelings of fear, arrange to see a counsellor/therapist.

Youre right. I am at that the stage where im convinced I have it. Too much thinking. Out of the ten I have barebacked five now have children and two others are married. Time to get that test done. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, any other thoughts appreciated.

Okay so im going to get tested at some point but just thought id see what you guys think my chances are of being negative/positive. I am hetrosexual and have barebacked on ten occasions. First time was June 1996, then Oct 2001, May 2005, Aug 2005, Jul 2005 Feb 2006 (x2), Mar 2006, Sep 2006, May 2008. I don't recall on any of those occasions feeling ill anytime after. In that time I have had the flu twice but usually back on my feet after two days. With that flu I have have woken sweating but not on the level of a bed wetting sweat. I have occasional colds and have had diarrhea probably three times in the past 5 years. So have I been lucky not to get fuck flu or have all the woman I have barebacked been negative?
