Question 1

is testing for hiv at 3months 
100% conclusive ? exposure was receiving oral (blackout while drunk)

Accepted Answer

Yes: The new fourth-generation tests, done on blood, are conclusive. I hope, Mark, that you'll feel safe, and that you'll be able to laugh off what happened to you rather than consider yourself permanently injured. Everybody who experiments with alcohol has some tragicomic experiences. I hope that an older, wiser you finds real love and can smile about things that happened growing up. Cheers.

Accepted Answer

It depends: I am assuming you are referring to fainting.  The medical term is syncope.  There can be many causes of syncope.  Some can be serious.  You should see you doctor for an evaluation.  It could be as simple as being dehydrated to a warning of a stroke to serious disease of the heart.

Question 3

how is hiv  treated?

Accepted Answer

Medication: There are different virus strains, so depending on this and several other factors, the doctor will prescribe anti-viral medication.

Question 4

what are the signs of hiv?

Accepted Answer

May not be any...: Early, acute, significant viremia (big load of hiv) may cause a "viral syndrome" similar to that of flu, but often a bit longer duration. Many people actually don't feel anything and thus don't know they got infected. Often they remain healthy/symptom free for yrs and this is one of the dangers of HIV transmission: people don't know. Thus, take precaution. Protect yourself/partner. Consult doc.
