Question : Hi doctor 6 weeks ago i met a girl. We tried to have sex i kissed her and wore a condom during sex.Next morning i just rubbed the tip of my penis with her vagina and there were vaginal fluids that touched the tip of my penis.After 3 weeks i had fever with cough and swollen glands but the fever remained for 2 days and was cured by normal medicined.I was worried that i might have started seroconversion.after i 3 weeks i got my self tested for hiv which showed negative result and after 4 weeks showing negative result.3 days ago i had conversation with her again and she said she got her hiv test and its negative.

Is 4 week test accurate as i am worried and not able to concentrate. If she had sex with anyone before is there any chance she is hiv positive , she got her hiv test after 5 weeks she met me.2 persons testing hiv negative after 4 week sign of relief for me?

There was no oral sex only kissing the only thing that worries me is rubbing my penis to her vagina.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query. Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query. I have gone through the details and can make out your anxiety.

The chances of HIV transmission by kissing is almost nil.It is nil by protected intercourse.
Minor contact with vaginal secretions has a very low risk of transmission.

The symptoms are nonspecific and can be due to respiratory contact with any person.

The tests done in both I presume are antibodies tests. She has been tested negative repeatedly and your tests are also negative.Chances of HIV is almost nil.You can relax.

You may go for antibodies tests after 3 months to have conclusive results. The chances of tests coming positive later is nil.

You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you

Hi Doctor,

Thank you for the reply. My concern is that is there any chance of contamination through frottage,if there is any is there any recorded evidence. Should i wait for the test till 4 months as it is killing me. Or it is not necessary . Kindly reply me fast as my apetite is affected and its affecting my anxiety.

Is the fever from seroconversion cured after 2 days with normal medication.

Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

In my experience I would rate the chances of HIV transmission as nil.
But the Conclusive results are considered after 3 months.I do not see possibility of tests results coming positive later.
You can allay fears of HIV. Just relax. Do yoga, meditation.Get involved in activities of your interest.Forget the episode.
