Hello
Thanks for the question
I would be pleased to answer your question .
There is no risk if you have just used your fingers and the secretions have dried up .
The Oraquick and the hepatitis test at 8 weeks are reliable . You can additionally do the HIV DUO test which does the ELISA antibodies plus p 24 antigen .
Yes , HIV and Hepatitis can spread with unprotected oral sex . Chance is low though.
It is considerably safe to use condoms and chance of STD is negligible on use of condom correctly .
Thanks

thanks for the great answer. are there any medications known to slow down hiv/ hepatitis seroconversion? i was taking diet pills + male enhancement pills on a regular basis when i did the hiv /hepatitis antibody test. can this alter the result i obtained? does hepatitis c/b co-infection slow down hiv serocnversion ?

Answered by Dr. Pravin Banodkar (13 hours later)

Thanks for the query .
There are no medications to slow down seroconversion even before it is proven that you have HIV or Hepatitis.
Those supplements cannot alter the result.
Hepatitis B/C co infection can increase the seroconversion.

Thanks and Take care

thankyou for your reply. one final question. I have read breast milk can transmit hiv
in infants but not in adults. do accidentally drinking 5 to 6 drops cause any worry of infection regarding std or hiv to an adult ? (the female is of unknown hiv status to me).Also among oral sex how risky is unprotected cunnilingus and oral sex by a woman on you?

Answered by Dr. Pravin Banodkar (5 hours later)

No, 5 to 6 drops will not cause any spread.
Oral sex has a has an extremely low risk of transmission . if there are definite cuts ulcer then the risk is very high. Use of Condom is safest.Thanks
