You do not have AIDS after 10 days post exposure - it would take months to years to develop symptoms.

Question 4

i'm just wondering, if you have unprotected oral sex, can you catch hiv or aids?

Accepted Answer

...: Hiv is transmitted via blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk and any other body fluid containing blood. Unprotected sex is a risk factor.

Hiv is a treatable medical condition that people can live with for many years.

i had a protected sex with a sex worker and unprotected oral sex last night , do i need to take prep for hiv?

Accepted Answer

STD Testing: With your history of risky sexual behavior you should always have frequent follow-up with primary doctor and receive frequent testing for sexually transmitted diseases. Having oral sex and intercourse with sex workers is an easy way to contract STDs, including HIV. Best course of action is to avoid these situations, use protection at all times.

See details: If you are concerned repeat the test in 3 months. The risk of transmission in the instance you describe is almost zero.

Accepted Answer

HIV testing: With the intervals described, the chance of your having HIV is minimal.

Question 8

my boyfriend slept with a prostitute and then i had protected sex with him after. but he gave me unprotected oral sex. is it likely for me to get hiv?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If your BF indeed gets infected with HIV from the prostitute (assuming the prostitute has the disease), then you are at risk for HIV as well as other STDs.  If you are concerned, avoid all unprotected sex until he is found to be HIV negative and STD free (may take 3 months to be sure). Get yourself tested as well.  However it is unlikely to get HIV from oral sex.

Question 9

male: unprotected oral sex w female who said they didnt have anything. gave & received oral, is it possible they didnt know they had hiv & infected me?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely: HIV is very seldom transmitted this way. Nobody knows why. You can get syphilis and/or gonorrhea from this stuff, and that's bad enough. Please be careful. Best wishes.

Question 10

hello , please im really scared i had an unprotected oral sex from a nigerian girl she gave me a blow job can i get hiv?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Saliva usually inactivates hiv.  That is why oral sex between women seldom transmits the disease.  When semen hits the tonsils or the lymphoid tissue behind the mouth that can transmit HIV to the donee.  If, however, you remain worried about this, go and get tested.  It is worth the cost and trouble to alleviate the anxiety.
