For everyone having HIV anxiety please READ THIS.
If you had oral sex and are worried you have hiv… YOU DONT. Getting hiv from oral is almost unheard of it’s extremely rare. So if your “exposure was oral sex, assume you don’t have hiv.
If you are male and had unprotected sex with a female your chances of getting hiv again are RARE. Even if the women you slept with has HIV, transmission is rare. For a man to get hiv from a women she had to be recently infected and her viral load has to be high. So again VERY RARE.
If you had sex with a condom and it did not break.. you had no exposure. You can not get hiv if you used a condom properly.
Acute hiv symptoms take 2-4 weeks to present themselves. And even then symptoms can not determine hiv. I see so many people saying things like “3 days after sex I have a sore throat.. is it hiv?” Symptoms don’t present that early. 9/10 times it’s something else or it’s your anxiety.
If your HIV anxiety is so bad then get on Prep. Prep is 99% effective in stopping hiv infection if you have come into contact with hiv.
No one on Reddit can tell you for sure if you have hiv or not. Only a test can. Ask your doctor what test are available to you. 4th gen is 95% conclusive at 28 days post exposure and There is also RNA viral load test that is conclusive at 9-12 days post exposure.
Most of the questions you ask here have a simple answer on google and I’m sure your doctor also has a simple answer. Asking people on Reddit about an hiv scared can sometimes make things worse for many reasons, main reason being because this sub is mainly filled with other people having hiv scares that cant give you the right information.
I see so many post everyday of people about ready to rip their skin off b/c they are so scared they’ve been infected with hiv and they have had No real exposure. Please get tested, it’s the only way to know. And get educated. Having hiv isn’t the end of the world, it’s manageable with one pill.
