How Soon Can HIV Infection Be Diagnosed After A Possible Exposure?
Dear sir, I received oral sex from a person on 26th of june 2017 at Hosur in India, Initially for 30 to 40 sec it was protected then that person removes the condom and I ejaculated in his mouth. Later on he spit it out and said he did it first time and started brushing his teeth. He was a room service person in the luxury hotel and he went out of the room. After some time I realized that I did wrong, The concern is I was drunk at that time. Later on I called him again and asked him to show his mouth and checked his mouth I saw no lesions or bleeding and I also asked him about any health issue he facing he replied that he had no problem and also said that he done this first time fir money. After 20 days I felt seek and I did my blood test abd it showed positive result for Typhoid and I took medication. Along with that I have done HIV tri dot - Hiv 1 and Hiv 2 test and it was negetive - I did it the day after I dignosed with typhoid. From that day there is a fear in my mind regarding my status of health to clarify I did hiv tri dot again at 55th day and again it gave me negative. The lab where I did this 55th day test is of my connection so he told me that Insertive oral sex is carrying neglegible risk of transmission and he also told me that even if I go for this test again after 3 months of potential exposure then it will be negative again so no need to worry. So I am extremely worried and started feeling depressed, Today is 73rdday and still I am feelig very regreted for my sins. When ever I think about it I started felling sick and experiencing mild fever but when I engage my self in any activity then I feel totally energized. At ninghts I panic the most by thinking about it. So please suggest me something so that I will again become the old me I am 23 year old
