Please could I ask for your help.
Aout 5 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex with a guy. He didnt ejaculate in my mouth nor I in his. however after he had ejaculated into a condom I sucked him again.
He assures me that he has only been with 1 other person and was safe.
I had a 4 week HIV test done which was negative. I was told by the GUM clinic to return at 12 weeks for a follow up test.
Maybe I could accept the result more if I didn't have symptoms.. Ever since I first started to panic about the situation I have had what I can only describe as a burning throat (real panic and anxiety!!!) I also have aching testicles - ut don't know whether that is all in the mind too!!!
I have no rash or fever.
What are the chances the 4 week duo test was wrong and am I worrying unnecessarily?

He assures me that he has only been with 1 other person and was safe.well, he may well be safe but please don't rely on what people say - always always take responsibility for your own health and make sure you are safe
I had a 4 week HIV test done which was negative. I was told by the GUM clinic to return at 12 weeks for a follow up test.I think the combination of an at worst a very minimal activity and a negative HIV DUO test at 28 days = you ar e HIV negative. I do understand why they wanted you back but you are HIV negative
Maybe I could accept the result more if I didn't have symptoms.. Ever since I first started to panic about the situation I have had what I can only describe as a burning throat (real panic and anxiety!!!)mate, you've had an erect penis nudging the back of your throat - that may well have stirred things up I also have aching testicles - ut don't know whether that is all in the mind too!!!well, again, you have had sex with an unknown partner and now you have symptoms - These are much more likely to be simple bacterial or physical irriation symptoms. You are not HIV positive, but an STD screen would be useful
I have no rash or fever.
What are the chances the 4 week duo test was wrong and am I worrying unnecessarily?None and yes, in that order.
I have had a full STD Screen done at my local GUM Clinic are results were negative. The aching testicles may as you say be a simple infection and I will get this checked out, however they do seem worse when I'm in ananxious state as does the sore throat- well not exactly sore its burning some of the time which I bvelieve may be due to acid reflux thru being anxious.
All of the things that you have told me are the same as everyone else has said so I now need to believe this and get on with life.
Could I ask again that you do not email me - as when I paid by paypal I used the account that my wife and I use and so I would hate for her to see these details of my 1st and last moment of madness.
I went to the doctors today and she diagnosed the burning throat as an infection due to the fact that I seem to have gingivitis. She has given me amoxocillan and said this may also help with the testicle ache I now also have the pain in my back and Doc said it could have gone into the kidney. have given a water sample - await results.
Still very scared that the HIV test could have been wrong and this is the symptoms. Medhelp.org categorically state that oral sex is a no exposure case. Terence Higgins trust say that there has never been a case documented where HIV was passed on just from oral sex.
In your last reply you said you understood why the GUM clinic want to test at 3 months - Why???
I have also read that 4th Generation test at 4 weeks is as conclusive as 3rd generation at 12 weeks?
In your last reply you said you understood why the GUM clinic want to test at 3 months - Why??? well, its very obvious to me that you are extremely worried about a non-event and I haven't met you. I would imagine taht the people at the GU clinic picked up on that panic and offered you a further test as a comfort.
I have also read that 4th Generation test at 4 weeks is as conclusive as 3rd generation at 12 weeks?they differ very slightly - the 4th generation test will give an accuracy of 99.89% at 4 weeks and the antibody test will be 99.99% at 3 m9nths/12 weeks./84 days.
Anyway, you're HIV negative - celebrate and move on.
