Question: I got a protected blow job on july 9th. If there was a microscopic cut where the condom wasnt covering whats the chances of hiv infection. Allso i took a hiv combo test at p24 antigen and hiv antibody at 27 days it wasnt ran untill the 28 day it came back negative at 52 days i did oraquick mouth swab it was negative. how acurate are my results.
Brief Answer:
Very accurate , nil chance
Detailed Answer:
Hello, This is Dr Matin ,answering your question.
Oral sex (called 'blow job' ) is a low risk activity for HIV transmission and under the protection of condom' it becomes even lower to negligible level.
Don't worry about microscopic cut remained uncovered by the condom (for risk of HIV ). However if your partner were to harbor Herpes virus at the time of blow job ( which is difficult to know by the look of the person, at times the persons may not show any symptoms yet harbor Herpes virus.) then there could be some chances of getting a STD (Herpes).
Your results are accurate and you are HIV negative for sure.These tests are 95% accurate at 28 days and 99.7 % accurate at 90 days.
Since there is negligible chance of getting HIV with protection and that too engaged in a lower risk activity, so you need not worry more.
Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
My answer remains the same -no risk
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your response.
HIV causes common symptoms like fever , loose motions . eruptions etc and thus can't be judged by the symptoms alone . It can only be diagnosed by the blood test .
Just to buy peace of mind , you may go for 3 months test (it is as per protocol too , since you had already gone for 28 days test which has to followed by a 90 days test ! )
There is no scare as far as HIV is concerned .
Be happy and keep healthy
Hope this helps.

so it that conclusive at 28 days
thought the p24 atigen test and antibody test was conclusive at 28 days
so it that conclusive at 28 days
thought the p24 atigen test and antibody test was conclusive at 28 days
Brief Answer:
There is protocol for the tests
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for posting your questions.
These HIV tests are very accurate and pick all the positives for 95% of infections at 28 days and 99.7% at 90 days. This is the standard protocol .
So my answer is at 28 days these tests are not conclusive Just for followup and to be peace with your mind ,I suggest you need to go for an additional test at 90 days.
Since you were engaged in a protected low risk activity (oral sex), so your chances of acquisition of HIV is extremely low , almost negligible.
So you can expect what to come at 90 days when the chances are negligible and you had already a negative test at 28 days .
Rest assured your 90 days test will too come negative( non-reactive),but as per protocol ,to declare some bosy conclusively negative you need to have a must negative at 90 days.
Hope this helps.
