Thanks for the warning, Turgid
[QUOTE=Turgid;2371181]I'm not knocking your idea but be careful.
[URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2v7jlIBL1A[/URL][/QUOTE]OMG! That is too funny! Thanks. Maybe I didn't explain my method clearly enough! LOL. No, I'm not promoting Erotic Asphyxiation! In all seriousness, I've never tried the method but thought it had merit. I've always used a condom, down under, but for some reason, I have tended to be cavalier when it comes to eating at the why even though I know it's risky with a SW. But, you've got me thinking.
Perfect and detailed reply!
[QUOTE=Amnesia;2371478]Not sure what you mean "to check out the baseline" but a rapid HIV test that early after an exposure is pretty useless. The earliest you can do a test is ca. 9-11 days after the exposure, and that would be a quite expensive HIV PCR test which tests the actual presence of the virus rather than antibodies.
Most rapid tests check for the presence of antibodies. Statistically, most people start to develop a detectable amount of antibodies by four to six weeks after an exposure. That's why taking an antibody test before that doesn't provide you a reliable information.
4th generation tests also check for antigen in addition to antibodies. Antigens would typically develop earlier than antibodies; therefore, a 4th generation test at four weeks may be considered pretty reliable and more than a 3rd generation antibody-only test.
If you're really panicking, get the PCR test and have peace of mind.
Otherwise most people have long taken Azithromyzin as a single 1 g dose (4 x 250 MG) when they noticed discharge from their cock. The alternative regime is Doxycycline 100 MG twice a day for 7 days. I have treated myself this way before when I didn't want to go to a hospital.
If you're not vaccinated against Hepatitis, do that as well. You'll have peace of mind then, and in case of a bacterial infection you can get antibiotics and are fine.
[/QUOTE]Amnesia,
I appreciate you for taking time for composing an elaborated post outlining about Rapid test, PCR test, 4th Gen Antigen test, possible bacterial infection, Azithromicin, Doxycycline and Hepatitis vaccine.
