Email 284: Waiting and Worried

Dear Mr Pozziepinoy. 

I had a sex encounter with a young man whom I suspected that he might be have HIV even if he denied it because he might not know it cause he has not undergone HIV test yet ... I was given a blow job by him... after that sex encounter I asked why he suddenly cough, he said he had pleural effusion and currently on medication. Will his current condition cause HIV transmission on me... I had CBC test during the 3rd wk and 5th wk, the result for lympocyte is 22 and monocytes of 12... I experienced mild feeling of tingling feet...

I had my HIV test 1 week after exposure and turns to non reactive including the syphlis and hepa... I am waiting for the 12 weeks to come , it will be on April.. I am so worried...

Email 209: Oral & Anal Sex and the HIV Test


Hi Pozzie,

I would just like to ask, because these questions continuously rummages throughout my mind for a couple of months now.

 Last June 2012, I had an anal sex with a guy..no condom used...
Four months after, I got tested with HIV, and thankfully it turned out negative..
