Hello dear Please be aware See hiv spread is maximum through blood and that too by contaminated syringes( 90%) By kissing or through saliva it doesn’t spread In fact it is destroyed by saliva due to lysozyme So please donot worry. However if you are still anxious you can take following medications for therapetic purpose Tab zidividune/ didanosine Tab nevirapine In addition please get fresh test done for confirmation Cd4 count Elisa test Kindly share the reports first and if required,then take medication and that too in person with general physician Regards
You had no significant HIV risk from protected oral sex and kissing, and your negative tests at 3–4 months (including antigen/antibody and rapid antibody tests) confirm you are HIV-negative. Your ongoing fear and shame may be rooted in health anxiety or guilt, rather than any real medical issue. Consult a mental health professional or clinical psychologist to help process these feelings and regain confidence in relationships.
Hi Mr. Abhay. Excessive worrying and anxiety about contracting STIs despite multiple tests coming negative may point towards health anxiety. And the more you are preoccupied about contracting STIs, the more vicious the cycle of reassurance seeking with lab tests and anxiety gets worsened. If you are not able to overcome worrying or anxiety, please consult psychiatrist for evaluation of health anxiety and appropriate management. Regards.
Hello abhay I know it can be hard and cause anxiety even though you have taken precautions during your intimate moments As you have gotten tested twice in interval of 4 month and test cme negative then I assure you that there are no chances of you getting hiv from this encounter
To calm down your anxiety i would suggest you to get counselling down that will help you to ease up your mind … kindly visit a psychiatrist or counsellor they will help you with feeling you are feeling right now
It’s understandable to have concerns about HIV after a sexual encounter, but let’s focus on the facts about risk and the effectiveness of tests. Protected oral sex, cuddling, and deep kissing are activities that generally carry a very low to negligible risk for HIV transmission, especially when condoms are used. The tests you mentioned: the antigen/antibody test at the appropriate window period (p24, which usually detects infection in 18 to 45 days) and a rapid antibody test at 3.4 months, are both highly reliable. A negative result on both these tests suggests that you are unlikely to have contracted HIV from that particular encounter.
Anxiety around STDs, including HIV, can be tough to shake even with scientific reassurance. The lingering worry and feelings of shame you’re describing are common and can persist despite logical evidence. While it’s important to be cautious, it’s equally crucial to not let this anxiety take control of your life or relationships. Consider seeking support, perhaps speaking with a mental health professional, to address these feelings, as ongoing anxiety might be an indicator of something deeper like health-related anxiety or obsessive-compulsive tendencies. Also, staying informed about sexual health and regularly getting tested in the future can help reinforce confidence in your health status. If there’s anything specific about symptoms you want to explore, or any more medical questions, it’d be good to consult a healthcare provider who can provide personalized advice.
