1. Nobody knows - again there are no documented cases for adult getting infected from this manner. My guess is that your chances are extremely slim to none.

2. My opinion does not change - the chances in which you could get infected in this manner is extremely remote. As I have said, the virus does not survive well outside the body and the quantity you've suggested is probably insignificant to matter.

3. Again, the chances are extremely remote.

I suggest not reading up to much on the symptoms as they are NEVER an accurate way of determining whether you have HIV. Having HIV-like symptoms does not necessary mean you have HIV and unlike other STI, only a blood test can conclusively tell you if you HIV+ or HIV-.

You want to know for sure, get youself checked at the above link that I've mentioned after 6 to 8 weeks. The results will be quite conclusive and I'm certain you will be HIV negative.

Seroconversion can be undetectable up for 6 month, the virus can go dormant up to that period of time and it can go unnoticed. 6-8 weeks,3 months is still too early to determine. You can go for an immediate checkup but do a later checkup after 6month as well.

I dont think you have hiv. The obvious early symptoms is having a flu within the 1 month period of contact. Dont think about it too much after you read this post though, cause sometimes the minds play tricks .

So, did I just worry too much ? I couldn't judge cos I got no experiences before and I know nothing about HIV or AIDS. This would be my first time and probably the last time. It's worse to live under those nightmares and thanks to everyone, I do appreciate for your time

What you experience is normal. Fear and anxiety can wreck havoc on your mind. Based on what you have said, I'm fairly certain you do not have HIV. HIV tranmission usually occurs via direct exposure to blood, intercourse or needle sharing. Even with direct exposure, for HIV to "take" - you have to be exposed long enough and this is usually done via repeated unprotected sex with multiple partners. If you were to get infected in this manner, then you would certainly be the first in the history of mankind. So relax, you're fine.

For peace of mind, I suggest you go to a doctor. Tell him your situation and ask him if its necessary to take a test to find out. If he tells you it's not necessary to check then it's not necessary.

I wonder if drink/swallowed the vagina fluid into the throat.....will the STD's transfered through this method

Consumption of vagina fluid or seminal fluid will put you at risk of STI including HIV.

Cruxidex2010, I would say, HIV is less likely for your case, but for other infections like yeast infection, this is something your should worry about.

so you should use "Tenga"!

Well, I read this quote once:

If you plan to fish in another mans well, you,re very likely to catch CRABS.

u can get cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma...& many more virus.......transmit from body fluid.

But no sex sucks, better safe sex. and watch out for this painfull resulting transmissions, as had met a dude with ipdydimis orchitis (sot sure spellings), wow.. load of pain in the story.

for HIV.... get an antibody test after 3 months of exposure...
The CDC has stated after 3 months of exposure then the result will be conlusive...
Either the traditional ELISA or Rapid test it will be conclusive after 3 months of exposure...
The 3 months after exposure has been the guideline since 2004...
The guideline for 6 month is for people who have immonusurpressed.. and also for people who on PEP...
If you scared enough and can't wait you can get PCR test a 12days after exposure but remember... that is not a standalone test...
At 3 months after exposure and antibody will show a conclusive result... some testing centre might still suggest 6 month mark although it is not neccesary...
What ever symptoms you experience don't try to related it with HIV... HIV has non-specific symptoms.... Most of the symptoms can be caused by a lots of things.... Some people don't experience any symptom untill they get really sick....
If you believe you have expose yourself to HIV... GO GET TESTED... 6-8weeks mark and confirmation on 3 months mark.... Don't rely on symptoms as they are not reliable to diagnose HIV... the ONLY way to know your status is to TEST.... Always wear condoms when having sex.... NO EXCEPTION untill you know your partner status... HIV do not have clean or not clean... it is HIV positive or negative....

ALWAYS WEAR CONDOMS! SEX ONLY LASTED FOR MINUTES... HIV LASTED FOR LIFETIME....
EDUCATED YOURSELF ABOUT SAFE SEX... IT WILL SAFE YOU....

very good advice

just wondering, does a clean pap smear mean that you are 100% STD free, or are there specific tests that need to be done ?

Hehe... I agree on the no sex is the safest. But still what is the symptom?? If we got STD's?? Some of people are still shy to meet to doctor.

sometimes there will be no symptom ...many ppl didnt realised it and some never go for std checkup oso...just normal elisa hiv test cant detect std...i believe alot of ppl do hiv test but not std test...

Symptoms will be rather obvious when you have STI. Very often, you will notice abnormalities around your genital areas. They can include blisters, multiple spotting, unusual growth around the penile head, continuous discharge from the urethrea, constant itching, painful urination etc.

Get help from your nearest GUM clinic if any of these symptoms persist!

Added on October 14, 2010, 4:20 pmA clean pap smear does not guarantee that.

There are test for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Herpes and HIV.

Chlamydia/Gonorrhea - urine test/visual
Syphilis/HIV - blood test
Herpes - viral culture from open blisters for 100% accuracy or Igg Herpeselect test (very good indication but still not 100% accuracy)
HPV - usually visual but otherwise none.

so you have to specifically request for the tests when you have your yearly check up ? and is it recommended to screen for all of those ?

if youre not frequently changing partners then test it once is enuf ....

actually beside hiv need to wait till 3 or 6 months only know..how about sex transmition? How we know the accurate test we tested? Some ppl said maybe 2 days till 20years..so mean tat until lifetime also we never know we really get any sex transmition? If a person who really dun have any std and bleeding inside viginal or during period mean they will have high risk of std?
