I had s*x, how will i know if i am HIV-free?

Question

i am 14 years young and i had unprotected and oral s*x with my boyfriend. i made a research about the symptoms. i had slight fever, colds and coughs recently. i got so worried and im being paranoid. is it possible i have HIV? i dont want to take the test. i dont know why. maybe because im too young and im scared of what people might say. my parents don't know this so i tried yahoo answers. All i can do, is pray and ask God to keep me away from it. Please pray for me too. I am relly afraid and worried.

Answer 1

Well if you had oral s*x, the chances of getting HIV is very slim. If you had other types of unprotected s*x then there is a risk of infection IF your partner had HIV. Have you asked him his status? If you are old enough to be sexually active you are old enough to ask the question about your partners status.

If you have had unprotected s*x, praying is good for the soul, but it won't do anything about an infection. Get tested, you don't need a parent to get a HIV test but you will have the knowledge of your status and can then deal with it.

Answer 2

Answer 3

The only way to know for sure whether or not you have HIV is to be tested.  HIV rarely has symptoms so soon after infection--Some people remain symptom-free for several years.Get tested 3 months after your last possible exposure, then retest 3 months after that.  People usually test positive within 3 months of infection, but in extremely rare cases, it can take up to 6 months for a person to test positive. Testing is important, because knowing whether or not you are HIV+ can help you get appropriate medical treatment that can help you stay healthier longer (if you are HIV+).  

Answer 4

Well now you know that having s*x as a child has consequences.

It is possible if your boyfriend has HIV, which no-one will know without the history of his s*x life.

HIV is a lot more complicated than you think, and you don't feel the symptoms straight away.

Having a few coughs and a cold does not mean you have HIV for crying out loud!

You need to go to a sexual health clinic anyway though to get yourself tested not only for HIV, but for herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, syphilis -  all kinds of sexually transmitted diseases you can carry now.

You need to get a pregnancy test.

You need to learn about s*x too and stop hoping that God and prayers will help you, because you are the one who made this choice. God will not keep you away from s*x diseases and pregnancy every time you decide to be stupid and have unprotected s*x when you are fully aware of what the risks are.

Answer 5

When I was a teenage we didn't have to worry about STD's like you young ones do today. It just isn't safe to have s*x, even with a condom.

If you go get tested and your results all come back negative, that does not mean that your partner is negative.  You don't always become infected from having s*x with someone that is infected.  The more you have s*x, the high your chances become of being infected.

Even with a condom, you can get diseases like herpes, hpv, mulloscum and staph to name a few.  Not all infections are located in the area that the condom covers.  Did you also know that cold sores are herpes.  By having oral s*x with someone that has a cold sore can result in genital herpes.  With herpes, hpv, mulloscum and staph, it is JUST simple skin to skin contact that infects a person.

Please take my information into consideration.  Having s*x is a danger zone, that you should try to avoid until you are married.

Good health to you!
