HIV, are we both all clear if.........?

Me and my boyfriend of nearly a year have had unprotected sex twice :S the last month or two (and unprotected oral the last month or two). If I went to get tested for HIV (without him) in a couple of weeks and use protection all the time otherwise, which always do by the way, would that mean we are both clear of HIV.... I guess i'm asking if you have unprotected sex with someone twice who is hypothetically HIV+, what's the likelihood that you didn't catch it.... Will you definitely catch it if the other person is infected??

I'm worried enough so i don't want a "you shouldn't of done that" remark, from what i know he's been with 1/2 other people and has used protection previously, i'm just mighty paranoid.

Thanks in advance X

I got tested for most STD's a week and a half ago and they say no news is good news so i should be ok with other std's.

First of all, pay no attention to the comments about hiv doesn't show up for 10 years. I am a graduate Registered Nurse. It can take 10 years for symptoms to show up, it does NOT take ten years to be detected!!!! It takes up to six months. And while there are multiple ways to transmit the virus, unprotected vaginal sex is the most common. I dont know an exact percentage, but even if you slept with someone who was positive, there is a chance you may or may not have contracted it. It doesn't mean that you for sure are HIV positive. And just because you test comes back negative doesn't mean he is. It's a good chance he would be too, but you may be negative simply b/c you weren't infected. Everyone makes mistakes, we are human, so don't be upset, just go talk to a professional who can give you actual facts, help calm you, and lead you in the right direction! And take this experience, and learn from it.

get STD testing and always use a condom.

GEt tested sweetie shouldn't u be smart DUH CONDOM

you can get HIV from oral sex

get it checked cos i heard of folk where partner is hiv and they arent then they catch it after few years

if the person is HIV+ it can take up to 10 years to show up

You are probably ok, just based on the amount of exposure. I wouldn't worry too much, and act safely in the future. And get the test, it can't hurt.

HOWEVER, to be safe, ask these questions when you get these tests. The medical professional there will be able to counsel you and what behaviors carry what risks. For questions like these, you should always approach a doctor, nurse or other professional -- and while you can get general advice from the net and boards like this one, you shouldn't trust that advice. Talk to someone you can trust knows what they are talking about.

It's good to be paranoid in this situation. Theres a chance it was passed. There are no set percentages. Test and see...

more than likely you are already infecting everyone you sleep with.

i think ul find u have hiv, yes u can catch it from one time and oral sex

there is a good chance you got it if he is infected but then again theres a chance you wont that is such a touchy subject the only thing you can really do is go get tested

you can have the disease and it may not be detectable til years later.so i dont know what to tell ya.

Its most likey if he had it you got it.... But sometimes with things like genital warts you only catch them when he is having a break out of them....

I would ask a doctor about this, just let her know you dont want too ask him to get tested or whatever... Let him/her know your concernt...I mean you need to get tested anyway, so just ask to be sure when you get there... Hope everything comes back clear for you!

The likelihood is very GOOD you will be infected! It takes 6 months to be sure you're not infected as antibodies have taken this long to show up.

Get tested now, 3 months from now (negative at 3 months is a great sign!) and at six months for absolution.

Good luck. And strap it up next time! You can't go back once the damage is done!

Good luck.

FYI - HIV tests are nerveracking! Don't lose it. Just be rational and positive. Everything will be fine.

wow i feel for ya swty..if you saying that your bf has HIV right..and u had unprotected sex with him then the likelehood of the matter is that you probaly also have HIV..definately go get tested, this is a disease which can become serious and lead to AIDS if you dont treat it properly as soon as possible..unfortunately it doesnt go away, so you always vulnerable..
take care and goodluck

I was told it takes up to six months to show up positive in a test. So you'd both need to get tested now and then again in six months to be sure you are clear.

both of you need to go get tested, if you have had sex with someone who may have HIV your chances are 50/50. please go get checked good luck

If you think your partner has HIV and you've had unprotected sex, please go and get tested by a doctor before you engage in any other sexual activity with that person or anyone else.

If you are negative, but the other person is HIV+, talk candidly to your doctor about what's going on and get their advice. While protection may be able to help it is, by no means, any kind of guarentee of protection. Further, it can take just one time to contract the disease.

Yes, I'd personally prefer if you didn't have this kind of sexual lifestyle, but I'm not you. However, if you intend to have casual sex or even if you are having sex with one partner but they are having sex with others, protection from STD's is an absolute must or you're very likely to get something that could be very bad for you.

I hope the best for you.

If you have sex with someone who is hiv positive, or even oral sex , you will get it ... you can get it from sex, sharing needles.. Get check, but if you were to get checked and it comes out negative get checked again in 6 months because it takes about 6 -12 months after something you've done with someone will show up.. most people dont know if they have anything until they are in the worse phrase

Start practicing safe sex now. Yes it is possible to have contracted HIV, in especially if anal happened. Any miniscuial tear while having sex could deliver the virus into your body. you should be rechecked in 6 months and every year after that. Every six months if you continue in this relationship. Best wishes. My prayers are with you. Don't just assume that you're fine . HIV cannot be seen outwardly.

if you have any kind of thought that he had/has HIV why would you sleep with him......... you can get it by having oral sex with him... and yes you are deff at risk it only takes once to get AIDS and sometimes it takes up to ten years to come into your system.

The education regarding HIV is that you ALWAYS protect yourself, always, no matter which way, with who or when. HIV means a lot of sickness which ends in death. It's nothing to fool around with. PLUS protection keeps you from getting other std's which are bad as well.

If you were paranoid you would not go without protection. Id you don't want a "you shouldn't of done that" remark then you are in denial and wish only to do your own thing.

I've learned that HIV can be dormant for ten years, so your getting tested after sex each time might ease your mind for now but there's still the chance it will come and bite you ten years down the road, that's why you need protection. In addition, some people cheat and won't admit it, so how do you know for sure you're with someone who isn't cheating on you? You combat that by using protection, insisting on protection.

I don't know what you mean by "what's the likelihood"..if the other person has HIV you'll catch it, period. And because you don't know who has it and who doesn't, since you choose to be promiscuous then your best bet is protection.

If you're not over 18 then you shouldn't be messing around anyiway you should be concentrating on your education so you can support yourself (since women live longer than men, and since marriages don't last that long anymore).

Its not worth taking the chance, While it is true you can get lucky and not get HIV infected after unprotected sex, the smarter and safer thing to do is to use a condom each and every time you have anal, oral or vaginal sexual contact. Having unprotected sex with an HIV infected person does not necessarily mean you will be infected, but is the risk worth it? It only takes one time. Once infected, always infected. Use a condom each and every time.

You both should be tested at 6 month intervals.

Honey, if your bf isn't gay or bisexual, if he doesn't have sex with hookers, or either of you don't do IV drugs, you can't get HIV. I wouldn't worry about having unprotected sex unless any of those three conditions are true....
