One of my friends 2 days back unfortunately had unprotected casual sex though he was warned not to do so.
He told me no penetration occured ,there was only hugging but some casual contact of the genitals but there was a bl--job.
He had sex in the morning and it the evening he developed burning sensation in his penis and loss of appetite and slight nausea.
Does this mean he has developed HIV infection ? Can HIV test be done at this stage (within 3 days of infection) ? HIV is contractable through blood and semen. No penetration is needed to contract HIV.
Hugging, casual contact of genitalia and oral sex was recieved. Could be several reasons. Friction burn for one. If he's got burning, loss of appetite and nausea could just be an UTI (Urinary Tract Infection or Kidney Stone developing).
Yes having unprotected sex of any kind as long as body parts are near each other and there is fluid there both parties are susceptable to getting an STD. You also can get Herpes from recieving oral sex from someone who has Oral Herpes. However there is an incubation time frame before any outbreaks. Is it treatable yes, is there a cure? No.
Before jumping to conclusions I would first rule out UTI and Kidney Stones. Which is common after having this form of sexual activity of hugging, casual contact, and oral. Which results can be given immediately after having the test done by a family dr. if negative for UTI, then the family dr. can look into other things to rule out.
--------------------------------------...
since you added more questions here is what I got straight from the CDC (center for disease control) Hope this will help answer some of your questions. I provided the link for the CDC site for you to research more on. Due to updates on HIV and other diseases.
--------------------------------------...
What is HIV?
HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is the virus that causes AIDS. This virus may be passed from one person to another when infected blood, semen, or vaginal secretions come in contact with an uninfected person鈥檚 broken skin or mucous membranes*. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast-feeding. People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. Some of these people will develop AIDS as a result of their HIV infection.
For more information see 鈥淲hat is AIDS?鈥?br>
* A mucous membrane is wet, thin tissue found in certain openings to the human body. These can include the mouth, eyes, nose, vagina, rectum, and opening of the penis.
How well does HIV survive outside the body?
Scientists and medical authorities agree that HIV does not survive well outside the body, making the possibility of environmental transmission remote. HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. To obtain data on the survival of HIV, laboratory studies have required the use of artificially high concentrations of laboratory-grown virus. Although these unnatural concentrations of HIV can be kept alive for days or even weeks under precisely controlled and limited laboratory conditions, CDC studies have shown that drying of even these high concentrations of HIV reduces the amount of infectious virus by 90 to 99 percent within several hours. Since the HIV concentrations used in laboratory studies are much higher than those actually found in blood or other specimens, drying of HIV-infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed - essentially zero. Incorrect interpretations of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have in some instances caused unnecessary alarm.
Results from laboratory studies should not be used to assess specific personal risk of infection because (1) the amount of virus studied is not found in human specimens or elsewhere in nature, and (2) no one has been identified as infected with HIV due to contact with an environmental surface. Additionally, HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
How can I tell if I'm infected with HIV?
What are the symptoms?
The only way to know if you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection. You cannot rely on symptoms to know whether or not you are infected. Many people who are infected with HIV do not have any symptoms at all for 10 years or more.
The following may be warning signs of advanced HIV infection:
rapid weight loss
dry cough
recurring fever or profuse night sweats
profound and unexplained fatigue
swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
pneumonia
red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders
However, no one should assume they are infected if they have any of these symptoms. Each of these symptoms can be related to other illnesses. Again, the only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection. For information on where to find an HIV testing site, visit the National HIV Testing Resources Web site at http://www.hivtest.org or call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espa帽ol. These resources are confidential. You can also ask your health care provider to give you an HIV test.
You also cannot rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms of AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other illnesses. AIDS is a medical diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the CDC. For more information refer to the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 鈥?993 Revised Classification System for HIV Infection and Expanded Surveillance Case Definition for AIDS Among Adolescents and Adults鈥?at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml...

Continuation to one of your other questions......
--------------------------------------...
The depression part of it all is from him not knownig. Depression is treatable. It will cause lack of sleep or too much sleep, loss of appitite, in extreme cases can actually cause one to become completely incapable of doing every day living needs. Your friend needs to get together with this girl and they both need to be tested for HIV. He's thinking the worse before ruling out anything else. Unless this female friend of his openly admitted to him she is infected. As far as him clamming up to everyone around him, that is a normal reaction that goes with depression. Just be there for him, show him support, encourage him, listen to him, his mood swings will change from moment to moment or day to day. He needs to realize there is the possibility of something else wrong other then the worse of things. Honestly if youi read up on it at the cdc site or get him to read up on it, he'll understand it can be something more of a less extreme. Just ask him to have a urine test done first. From lack of eating will cause nausea and headaches not to mention lowering the immune system. wish your friend the best.

to the last part of your update there, its all a form of depression on something he isnt sure on. your friend had casual sex w/a partner who he has no idea if they have anything. perhaps he should ask her to go w/him and both be tested for HIV. at least it will give them both a base line to go by and they will both know. As far as the "one day" goes, thats all part of the depression also. I dont understand why your friend would of gone into it so fast, before finding out what is going on exactly. If you feel that he's serious about what you think he might do, stay w/him, see to it that he gets the help he needs. in the long run he will see who his true friend is and perhaps listen from then on. As I said do what you can, encourage him, be there even if its just to listen or just sit there w/no words to be spoken. sometimes the company alone is enough. Be his rock and his pillar for now until you can help get him up and out of the darkened hole that he might of seemed to have slid into for now. If he cant seem to make the appointment for a dr. then you make it for him. depression isnt something anyone should take lightly. wish you and your friend the best. not that quick Tell your friend to go see his doctor! Something sounds funky... You won't know unless he goes to get tested. Tell him to go to the doctor. no, sounds like gonorrhea, remedy: kill yourself
just kidding
aids takes 45 days after infection to be recognised
treatment:
The mainstay of treatment is the appropriate use of antibiotics. While penicillin was the most common antibiotic used to treat gonorrhea up until the 1970s, an increase in antibiotic resistance has led to a decline in its use. Recommendations for first choice treatment of gonorrhea must depend on local information on resistance patterns and it is not possible to make treatment recommendations that are applicable to all parts of the world.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a report on Thursday, April 12, 2007 officially adding gonorrhea to a list of super bugs that are now resistant to common antibiotics according to CDC.
Antibiotics that may be used to treat gonorrhea include:
* Amoxicillin 2 g plus probenecid 1 g orally
* Ampicillin 2 to 3 g plus probenecid 1 g orally
* Azithromycin 2 g orally
* Cefixime 400 mg orally
* Cefotaxime 500 mg by intramuscular injection
* Cefoxitin 2 g by intramuscular injection, plus probenecid 1 g orally
* Cefpodoxime (Vantin) 400 mg orally
* Ceftriaxone (Rocephin) 125 to 250 mg by intramuscular injection
* Ciprofloxacin 500 mg orally
* Levofloxacin 250 mg orally
* Ofloxacin 400 mg orally
* Spectinomycin 2 g by intramuscular injection
These drugs are all given as a single dose. I believe that HIV has no symptoms at first so I doubt that's what it it. Sounds to me like he has a urinary tract infection and should get to the doctor. maybe not hiv but he should be tested for the burning sensations.I the person giving the ******** had a cut in their mouth it is possible to transmit hiv, so test to be sure |
