<< just get them both checked.. Id say that you ould have a higher chance of getting pregnant or some other STD, HIV is very rare >>


Ask someone in Africa where more than 50% of the population has HIV/AIDS and 15 million people are currently dying. 25 million are slated for death in the next couple years....
The US and Canada are next. Keep it zipped folks.... it just 'aint safe out there.

If she even has hiv, the chances aren't that high, but you never can be too safe. I'd suggest until he gets tested (in 3 to 6 months as previously mentioned, since it doesn't replicate fast enough to show up on early tests), you stay away from drinking his blood or engaging in any sexual activity with him (I'm not implying anything, but if you're considering, hey, don't).

There's always a risk if your pee-pee gets inserted. Ofcourse the risk is lower if you were only inside for 5 seconds, compared to if you were knockin that booty all night long, then the risk would be greater. He probably doesn't have anything to worry about, although should certainly get it checked out.

Apparently your &quot;friend&quot; is, according to your own mentality/definition, a dirty male slut. (double standards, people, double standards!) Luckily for him, HIV is a pretty hard virus to catch. It can enter the body through the lining of the vagina, vulva, penis, rectum, or mouth during sex, and if he had any minor cuts on his penis, the fluids with HIV could have found a way of getting into his bloodstream. However, there may not have been enough HIV present to cause infection.

Keep in mind, early HIV infection often causes no symptoms. HIV antibodies usually don't reach detectable levels in the blood until one to three months following infection, and sometimes it can take the antibodies as long as six months to be produced in quantities large enough to show up in standard blood tests. Even if you test &quot;negative&quot; the first five months, it doesn't mean you're clean. But... odds are your friend doesn't have HIV (it's pretty rare... I talked to a nurse at UHS at U of M, and she said that during her entire 15 years with the University, she's only documented two cases of HIV), but he should still be checked regularly for the next year or so, just to be safe.

BTW, make sure your &quot;friend&quot; gets tested for EVERYTHING. He should really be more worried about other STDs (most without warning symptoms) that are more easily transmittable, such as chlamydia, herpes, HPV, etc.



<< as far as i know, the girl was a skank ho! i think he told me that she was a raver chick....and you know how that goes.... >>



Oh? And how does that go, Einstein?

Regarding raver chicks, I happen to be one (more of a club chick now, but I can still appreciate a good rave every now and then). A number of my friends are raver guys and gals, and neither I nor any of them engage in promiscuous behavior. Even for those who do, no judgment calls... it's perfectly fine to have fun, as long as you have fun safely.
 

There were a few posts about the odds of contracting HIV from a infected person.
They did a test of like 10,000 couples that were married and knew one had HIV and one did not. (how they got that many I don't know :D)
These couples had regular intercourse for month intervals and they tested them.
Turned out to be like every 760 in 10,000 contracted it that they could tell from tests.
The numbers were rather low in fact. And regular close to daily sex was involved.
So his chances are probably pretty low. Should get tested anyways.
Best of luck to him, hope the blue balls didn't hurt too much ;)

<< could suck. might not know for 6 months to 5 years...... or longer. can be dorment for a very long time........... >>



Most of the time it's detectable after 6 weeks, this is the innoculation period. Make sure your 'friend' gets tested after 6 weeks, and again after 3 months to be sure. If he doesn't even know if she had HIV, I wouldn't be overreacting about this.

A little tip for ya: If he gets tested and tests negative make sure he gets it through his thick skull. The fact that he even has to be tested should be a BIG wakeup call.

Well said. I wanted to say more along those lines,but that covers it.


He should swaet this one out. He will not know for 6 months the results,and now he will have to think twice about having sex until he knows for sure.


I believe the virus can penatrate a prophalactic,so there is no guarentee,short of abstinence.(which is what I hope he practices until he knows for sure he is not infected)

Yeah, I think they say 6 months just to cover their asses. It's detectable after a few weeks usually.
