if a person gives oral sex for a few seconds and then gets an hiv test 3 months later and it's negative..?

Question

If someone gives someone oral sex for a few seconds and then 3 months later the person who gave oral sex gets tested for hiv and it comes out negative, does this mean that the person who was given oral sex to does not have hiv?

Answer 1

absolutely not.

Answer 2

Negative tests do not necessarily rule out HIV infection, because there is an interval (called the "window period") between HIV infection and the appearance of measurable anti-HIV antibodies. If a person is suspected of having acute or primary HIV infection, and of being in the "window period," a negative HIV ELISA and Western Blot will not rule out HIV infection. Additional testing for HIV viral load will need to be performed. If it is negative and the patient has definite risk factor for HIV infection, the test should be repeated in 3 months.
Please see webpages for more details on HIV infection and ELIZA/ western blot test.

Answer 3

I think it takes 3 to 6 months for the body to start making antibotics in regards to HIV. AIDS, itself, takes YEARS to develop....sometimes up to 15 or so years.

Since you are negative, at this time, I think I would give a few "Hail Marys" and relax. Did you find out the other person has aid, or are you just worrying "in case the other person did"?

80% of what we worry about never happens.
Good luck. Pops

Be more careful in the future. AIDs is one of the STDs that you can't "wash" off.

Answer 4

ok christina, you're really working yourself up into an unnecessary frenzy here! this is the 3rd question and had I known that youre b/f had been tested negative I would have responded to that(you said he tested negative in another question) and now you're saying you tested negative too?


it has been 3 months, he has been tested negative, he had no open cuts or sores on his hands...he was given medication at the time

ive copied this from an very well informed and reliable site to help you

There is a "window period" which is the time it takes the body to produce antibodies after HIV infection has begun. For the vast majority of those who will test positive, antibodies to HIV will develop within 4-6 weeks after exposure. Some will take a little longer to develop antibodies. To make certain that you receive a reliable test result, it's necessary to wait at least three months (13 weeks) after your last possible exposure to the virus before being tested

Getting tested before three months may result in an unclear result or a false negative. Some testing centers may recommend testing again at six months. All but less than 1% of those who are going to seroconvert will do so within three months (seroconversion is the development of detectable antibodies to HIV in the blood as a result of infection.) It's extremely rare for seroconversion to take more than six months to develop detectable antibodies.

No diagnostic test will ever be 100% reliable, but if you test negative at the appropriate time (i.e., 13 weeks after possible exposure to the virus), you can consider that to be a dependable confirmation that you are HIV negative.


here are some tests commonly used

Rapid Testing: Samples are obtained and analyzed using the ELISA test. The results are usually available within ten to sixty minutes. If the result is positive, a follow-up test is required, usually by drawing blood and sending the sample to a laboratory for Western blot testing. If the result is negative, there is no need for additional testing and the result can be considered conclusive.

Convenient and faster, this method is often used in healthcare settings, particularly where urgency is an issue such as with someone who is pregnant or about to give birth. Because it provides a result so quickly, this is an increasingly popular method for testing.

Several rapid HIV tests have been approved for the FDA, all of which can only be performed by healthcare providers (they cannot be purchased directly by consumers). The approved tests are the Oraquick® Rapid HIV Antibody Test (using oral fluid or blood samples), the Oraquick® Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test (tests for both HIV-1 and HIV-2 using blood samples), the Reveal® Rapid HIV-1 Antibody Test (requires a blood sample), and the Uni-Gold Recombigen™ HIV Test (requires a blood sample). While the time to conduct each of these tests do vary, they all yield results in less than an hour. If you are interested in any of these tests, you should call your healthcare provider to see if he or she conducts these tests and, if not, where you may go to have one done.

The collection of oral fluids to look for HIV antibodies using the Oraquick Rapid HIV Antibody Test may not be as accurate as the other rapid assays that use blood samples. As of mid-December 2005, clinics in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City have reported high rates of false-positive test results, meaning that the Oraquick Rapid HIV Antibody Test using oral fluids (but not blood samples) falsely detected antibodies in several people who were not infected with HIV. However, the test is still highly accurate in terms of detecting antibodies in people who are infected with HIV (it has an extremely low false-negative rate).

It's very important to understand these new tests do not change the length of time you have to wait after a possible exposure to HIV to get a reliable result. You still need to wait three months (13 weeks), to allow time for antibodies to become detectable in the blood for an accurate result.

The Oraquick, Reveal Rapid, and Uni-Gold Recombigen tests are not the only rapid tests available. Some hospitals, clinics and a few private doctors' offices have their own in-house rapid tests, which are also completely reliable.




I would say that you're worrying way way too much

this is not good for you

Answer 5

Not necessarily, Its possible but rare to contract HIV through oral sex, considering it was a few seconds as well you are a very low risk.

Answer 6

Christina...or whatever your name is...Pay attention!
I was 33 or so when the so called AIDs epidemic began...In that time I have been with maybe... more than several hundred partners.and never used a condom . In all this time...25 years...I have never met any straight person that was not a drug user that EVER got AIDs or an HIV infection...IN FACT...I do not know anyone who even knows anyone that ever got one... and think...THINK about it... WE..my friends and partners and I ...are the most promiscuous people on the earth, never use condoms and we don't know anyone with this so called disease...So therefore...when you ask an asanine question like the one above...I have to think that you are either completely uneducated, live inside a world of News and CNN or just...don't have a real life...GET ONE...

Answer 7

there is not any documented case of HIV being transfered orally.. i became into examined for HIV and my usual practitioner advised me which you would be able to no longer get it that way.. i think my usual practitioner over any random man or woman at right here

Answer 8

no it doesn't mean that... you have to get get checked pretty often. HIV sometimes won't show up in tests for a couple months.

Answer 9

It depends on who the person it was given to has been with in those three months.

Answer 10

Just to be sure, get tested in 3 more months. Stay safe!

Answer 11

Not necessarily, because HIV can take years to show up.
