One will generally see the effects of seroconversion illness 3 to 6 weeks after infection with HIV. Not everyone gets this, though.\n\nIf you think you have been exposed to HIV, see your doctor about Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) as soon as possible. Call them now and ask for an urgent appointment first thing in the morning. The sooner you get PEP, the more likely it is to prevent infection.

I can't remember where I saw this, but years ago in graduate school, I'm pretty sure I read that HIV can only survive for 2-6 minutes outside its human host. I don't know abou the one-way blood flow thing with mosquitos. All I know is mosquitos can transmit many other diseases, so it would make sense that they too could transmit HIV, other than HIV can't survive the intermediary.

Your doctor will know which blood tests to order, which lab cultures to collect.\n\nBut keep in mind that when you have unprotected sex with a girl, you're having sex with everyone she's ever been with AND everyone that THOSE people have ever been with.\n\nIt also can take 6 months for HIV to show in blood work, so if you have unprotected sex with an HIV+ person and get tested -- negative means nothing.\n\nI'm sure she's a nice girl and was only with nice guys, but you don't know that one of them didn't get drunk and have unprotected sex at least once.  Or had a drug problem before they met her (HIV is transmitted by infected needles).

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.

Typically within 3 months after sexual contact with an infected partner.  Although depending on your bodies immunity, it can take up to a year or more to develop.  Also some people can become infected and never show any symptoms.

I'll assume that you didn't wear protection, so you are at risk for contracting the virus.\n\nThe standard test for HIV is the HIV Elisa test.  The average time it takes to develope antibodies to the HIV virus is 25 days.  94% of people will test positive after 56 days of infection and 97% after 90 days.  The remaining 3% will take up to six months.  This is due to an abnormal immune system and is considered very rare.\n\nIf you have a healthy immune system I would get tested after 25 days and then again at 90 days.  You can consider the 90 day test conclusive.

Symptoms of a disease appear after the incubation period and antibodies appear in the blood much later. You have to conduct the test periodically if the test is found to be negative.\nHIV/AIDS-Incubation Period: Some people develop symptoms shortly after being infected, but for many it takes more than ten years for symptoms to appear. \nNegative tests do not necessarily rule out HIV infection, because there is an interval (called the "window period") between HIV infection and the appearance of measurable anti-HIV antibodies. If a person is suspected of having acute or primary HIV infection, and of being in the "window period," a negative HIV ELISA and Western Blot will not rule out HIV infection. Additional testing for HIV viral load will need to be performed.\nThe hepatitis C virus is usually detectable in the blood within one to three weeks after infection, and antibodies to the virus are generally detectable within 3 to 12 weeks. Approximately 20-30% of persons infected with HCV clear the virus from their bodies during the acute phase as shown by normalization in liver function tests (LFTs) such as alanine transaminase (ALT) & aspartate transaminase (AST) normalization, as well as plasma HCV-RNA clearance (this is known as spontaneous viral clearance).\nPlease see the webpages for more details on HIV/AIDs and Hepatitis C.

If you used a condom and it didn't break then the chance you were exposed to HIV is very minimal.  If you didn't use a condom and your partner has  the virus that causes AIDS then chances are that you'll test positive within 6 months or so.  ALWAYS WHERE A CONDOM!  I work in the healthcare field and we have patients that are 13, 14, & 15 years old that have tested positive for HIV and it really bothers me. They may as well sit around somewhere and wait to die :-(  Furthermore being exposed to STDs doesn't have anything to do with whether you have an orgasm or not, it's the simple fact that you had intercourse.

It can only be transferred by bodily fluids. Even  if the person had an open cut on the had, the HIV can only live outside the body for a few seconds. your pretty safe.

Don't listed to Lita, you can't get HIV from touching someone!  If you used protection it is unlikely that you would get HIV.  I would get tested for everything just to be safe.  If it comes back negative, get tested again in 6 months because sometimes the virus takes time to show up.    Be careful and make sure that you use protection every time!

It depends on which state you live in.  Some states still call for the old 6 month window period.  Many other states use the 3 month window period. It depends on how good their testing technology is, how much funding that state receives for HIV testing, etc.  \n\nIn New York, tests usually will pick up an HIV positive within a month of infection, and we can be sure you are either positive or negative at 3 months from your last exposure.

If you don't tell and pass it on you could be convicted. You have a moral obligation to tell everybody that you might have sex with your HIV+ status.

It does depend on what STD:\n\nHow long after a possible exposure should I wait to get tested for HIV? \nIt can take some time for the immune system to produce enough antibodies for the antibody test to detect and this time period can vary from person to person. This time period is commonly referred to as the “window period”. Most people will develop detectable antibodies within 2 to 8 weeks (the average is 25 days). Even so, there is a chance that some individuals will take longer to develop detectable antibodies. Therefore, if the initial negative HIV test was conducted within the first 3 months after possible exposure, repeat testing should be considered >3 months after the exposure occurred to account for the possibility of a false-negative result. Ninety seven percent will develop antibodies in the first 3 months following the time of their infection. In very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months to develop antibodies to HIV.\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faq/faq9.htm\n\nSyphilis:\nShortly after infection, a blood test can tell if a person has been infected.  http://www.stayinginshape.com/3osfcorp/libv/0w04.shtml\n\nTrichomoniasis:\nThe symptoms usually appear one to 4 weeks after exposure.\nThe diagnosis in women is with a physical exam that reveals sores on the vagina or cervix. Tests on vaginal fluids can confirm the presence of the parasite.  http://www.stayinginshape.com/3osfcorp/libv/0w04.shtml\n\nHow soon after exposure can I be tested for sexually transmitted diseases and at what point can they be detected?\n\nTesting is based upon how long it takes to get a disease after being exposed. For gonorrhea it is four days, chlamydia is seven days, and syphilis is about three weeks. However, if someone has a verified exposure, they will be treated if they come into the clinic within these periods.\nhttp://www.oakgov.com/health/how_do_i/std.html\n\nHerpes Simpex Virus:\nIt takes about 3 months to rely on a negative test result. http://www.medhelp.org/forums/std/messages/1859.html\n\nGenital Warts (HPV):\nThere is no test for HPV, so you can forget that. (males) http://www.medhelp.org/forums/std/messages/1859.html\nA Pap test does not detect HPV itself. A laboratory technician uses a microscope to look at a sample of cervical cells for signs of abnormal changes that may be caused by HPV.

If there was very fresh, HIV infected blood on the knife, I would say the chances are high. But more than likely, if he wasn't bleeding and there was no blood on the knife from him, you'll be alright. Definitely, get tested after 3 months and then once again after 3 more months.

Remember, the HIV virus is what CAUSES AIDS. AIDS itself is not the virus. You have to be infected with the HIV virus FIRST before the onset of AIDS, and being infected with HIV does NOT mean that AIDS is imminent.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, the median survival time after developing AIDS is under 10 months. It is the progression from HIV to AIDS that can be anywhere from a couple months to 20 years.

natural course/ the stages of HIV infection:\ninitial infecton (when the virus enter the body) - no symptom\nacute seroconversion illness (when the virus multiplies and the body starts to fight the virus) - symptoms varies, include fever, rash, lethargy, swollen glands etc) - very non specific, could only be picked up by a very good doctor. - around 4 weeks post initial entry of the virus.\n"Asymptomatic" phase - relatively disease free, but the body is fighting the virus, trying to suppress it, while the virus is killing the immune system, establishing reservoirs of virus in the body, going to different areas of the body, including the brain. - this can be years.\nFull blown AIDS - when the virus finally gain the upper hand and kill off a lot of the immune system, the patient will suffer from diseases that otherwise will not affect normal individuals - called opportunistics infection, and AIDS defining illnesses. - usually 8-10 years after initial infection.\nThus a lay person cannot tell whether he/she has HIV unless he/she thought about it, get worried and go and get tests done.\n\nPlease discuss with your doctor regarding any of these if you have any query.\nHIV/AIDS kill. and we are losing our battle on the antiviral fronts.

AIDS usually shows up positive 6-12 months after being infected. Your friend is going to have to wait till then to get tested. I have been tested a few times, and all they did was take a swab from the inside of my vagina and send it to the lab. It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to get the results back (depending how fast the lab takes). They also might want to take a blood sample.\n\nThe doctor doesn't really ask you very many questions. She might ask if you think you were exposed to someone who had HIV/AIDS, how long ago, was it unprotected or not...things like that. \n\nUnfortunately there is no free test. If you go to your OBGYN or doctor it is usually covered by the insurance, if you don't have insurance it can be pretty expensive. Good luck to your friend!
