infection concern ?
Posted: 07-03-08 16:30pm

ok, here is the deal. my ex, to put it lightly, used to get around a bit. before we did anything, i made sure she got tested. everything was negative. but she gave me oral sex, handjobs, footjobs, made out, and i fingered her. we ended up breaking up. my iron count is fine. and she ended up getting tested again after we broke up. negative. when she got tested the first time it was about 2 months after she had done anything with anybody else. the second time she got tested, it had been 5 months. i am a hypocondriac. should i be concerned?

Foot jobs? I have never heard of those. Laughing

Some people take up to six months to show a positive test. They are called slow progressors.

For your own peace of mind, you should take the test. It is the only way to know for sure.

All the best.

It is like playing the lottery. You may gain or you may lose.

To answer your question scarred199 about your chances its really low. If she had the Elisa test done, which more then likely she did, it can detect up to 98% of people within the first 3 months of their last possible exposure. Also when she gave you oral sex were you wearing a condom or not? Also while there has been one recorded case of a female contacting HIV through kissing they believe it wasn't through the saliva but rather from blood. Her partners gums bleed after brushing his teeth and blood carries the highest amount of HIV in the body and if she had any cut or sores in her mouth it could of entered that way. But like I said thats the only known recorded case of contracting HIV through kissing. Oral sex on the other hand is slightly higher but still very low compared to intercourse so my best suggestion would be to get tested. Its the only way of knowing and I know its hard but really your chances are low.
