Anyone please? :(

Well I would say yes because if you have a cut and if she has hiv
it could get into the cut and spread throughout you whole body.
I heard of people getting it from getting blood in thier eyes from a person who is infected and kissing,sexual intercourse,sharing food and drinks
there are many ways that you can get it here check this website out it should cover pretty much everything you need to know

Should I be tested?

Probably wouldnt be a bad idea

Should I wait until it's been 3 months?

The hiv test looks for antibodies in a person's blood. When hiv (which is a virus) enters a person's body, special chemicals are produced. These are called antibodies. Antibodies are the body's response to an infection. So if a person has antibodies to hiv in their blood, it means they have been infected with hiv (an exception is the case of an hiv negative baby born to a positive mother, who will retain her antibodies for some months).

Most people develop these antibodies within 3 months of infection. In rare cases, it can take up to 6 months. It would be extremely uncommon to take longer than 6 months for antibodies to develop.

Getting tested earlier than 3 months may result in an unclear test result, as an infected person may not yet have developed antibodies to hiv. The time between infection and the development of antibodies is called the window period. In the window period people infected with hiv have no antibodies in their blood that can be detected by an hiv test. However, the person may already have high levels of hiv in their blood, sexual fluids or breast milk. Hiv can be passed on to another person during the window period even though an hiv test will not show that you are infected with hiv. So it is best to wait for at least three months after the last time you were at risk before taking the test. Some test centres may recommend testing again at 6 months, just to be extra sure.

It is also important that you are not at further risk of getting infected with hiv during this time period. The test is only accurate if there are no other exposures between the time of possible exposure to hiv and testing.

The only way to know for sure whether you are infected with hiv is to have an hiv antibody test. It is not possible to tell from any symptoms.

I'm gonna go insane over the next 3 months...

Nick racer, i'm afraid that you've been spun into a false sense of worry. No one has become infected with hiv from fingering - or at least, in the 25 years of intense research into the disease, there have been no documented cases, which says alot. And i'm quite sure that this sexual practice occurs many thousands of times a day, with cuts and scrapes included. There are scientific reasons why fingering is not a viable route of transmission, which involve the location of cd4 receptors.
No need to worry over this incident, I assure you. If you have doubts, visit aidsmeds.Com, where a range of experts will advise you further.


Trishabunny, you do #not# get hiv from sharing food and drink, nor do you get hiv from kissing. You link to avert.Org even confirms this - you don't get hiv from these things. Hiv is a fragile virus that passes to a person in very specific ways. It seems to me that you are skimming through tidbits of information and totally missing the point - yet still quite confident in advising worried people with distinct misinformation.
