Risk of HIV infection..? |
I want to ask about my risk of being infected through a seroconversing male... I need to add that the man did not *** in my mouth but i did taste precum and i rinsed my mouth out with water after i tasted this. firstly do not panic Call the public health department, You will get confidentiality. You can get tested for HIV. Usually it's contracted via large amt of blood exposure or needles or drug users. In the hospital with known HIV+ patients, if the nurse/doc gets a needle stick, they are given medicine immediately with their consent and are monitered every 6 months. HIV can develop at any time. I'm sorry this happened to you., get checked.Also, if you are healthy, your risk is lower with a one time exposure. But, still, get monitered throughout your life if this is your usual behavior unless you get one partner. You need to get tested ASAP, and again in 6 months. This is not a good thing, the oral mucosa is the same as the vaginal mucosa. There is no data available to give you an answer, in terms of a number or percentage. There is a risk that you could be infected. Get tested. More than 98% of people will test positive within 3 months of the time they were infected, but in rare cases, it can take up to 6 months for someone to test positive. Jandy is right. Get tested now, and follow their directions to the letter. |
