Hiv scare
Hello. I recently met with a guy and we did some kissing and he blew me a little. I didnt have any sores or wounds in my mouth nor on my penis and i know that saliva kills the HIV virus but im still not at peace. I dont have bleeding gums or other sti since i dont have any symptoms. I am educated on the topic and know that i cant have caught it, but my panicked brain creates these imaginary and fake scenarios and cant stop thinking that i got it somehow. There wasnt an ejaculation.
Hi
. It is totally understandable that sometimes, even when one's knowledge tells you one thing, for the mind to take you other places. You mentioned being educated, but I want to share this article from our editorial team on transmission: https://h-i-v.net/transmission. It is never a bad idea to get tested, even if only to put your mind at ease. This article discusses the types of HIV tests, with information on the testing windows: https://h-i-v.net/test-types. Please know that this community is here for you and feel free, if you like to keep us posted on how you are doing. Best, Richard (Team Member)

, You can't know your status unless you get tested. We can't totally understand your risk. We do understand how our minds can get away from us. Its the unknown variables which play into that. I suggest you go and get tested and make it a part of your normal health screening routine. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member) Alafia (Peace)
I just wanted to check in with you to see if your brain has slowed down around the possible scenarios you have imagined? Please let us know how you are doing. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
