Posted on Wed, 27 Apr 2016

Question: Hey i have taken STD panel test and Hiv 4th generation after 12 weeks of my exposure and the results are negative .After 12 weeks recently i went to a massage parlor and i met a girl over there and we had some kissing and i sucked her boobs for few minutes and i dint notice any rash or blood or any fluids coming out her boobs and we had some deep kissing .My concern is do we get hiv through kissing and sucking boobs .I dont have any cuts or bleeding gums or ulcers in my mouth and i dont know about her status or does she have any bleeding gums in her mouth .After 10 days meeting her i took HIV RNA test to make everything is right

Brief Answer:
You need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through the details provided. HIV does not spread in the mentioned ways (unless you have any active sores) and hence you need not get concerned. Moreover, you have already got negative test results and hence can relax.

Let me know if I could help further.

You are in the safe zone. You need not worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks again for writing back. Sorry for not being able to respond faster.
Feeling stressed is a state of mind. I would insist you not to do anything that could make your life unnecessarily stressful. As for this incident, you need not worry about the ailments that it could cause. I think that you are in the safe zone. But for other issues like moral and ethical considerations, you would have to shape yourself.

Stop worrying. That is all I can say.
