Hey all, just got a 10 week negative back today. My exposure was protected oral/intercourse with a prostitute. Part way through the intercourse, i put on another condom. I checked the condoms to see if they leaked water after, and they didn't. Lasted about 15 minutes. You think im in the clear? I will take a definitive test at 13/14 weeks, but how many people test negative now then pos later? Thanks. God bless.

Any opinions? Nyxin? Anyone?

Not sure about false negatives, I don't think they are that common.
I'm 9 weeks behind you in terms of the exact nature of your escapade.
I had protected oral and vaginal like you with an escort. I'm torn up about it for sure!! I asked the girl in question and she said I had no worries, she gets tested pretty regularly. I also "leak tested" the condom with water and it never slipped off or broke on me.
I'd have to say from what I've read that there is almost no chance of us getting it from this one possible exposure.
My question is how did you put off your wife (I think you said you were married) for 10 weeks? Did you come clean?

No im not married. I have a loving gf for the past 6-7 years. And yes i did come clean. It was messy at first, but things are becoming a lot better. I just want to make sure i am healthy enough to be around her. I could never live with getting her ill.

I guess it is a little easier with a gf vs a wife.
I'm going to do the PCR testing in about 1 1/2 weeks (AIM says it is conclusive in 14 days) just to make sure.
I'm able to sleep now and don't have the "nervous stomach" I had a day or 2 ago. I'm not sure what I'll do about the wife, I might fake an illness or say I racked myself at work...
I'm like you, I see a million people say they had the same experience that we did and see that they were negative and I can't help to think I am the 1 in 400,000 that will be the exception.

Listen, come clean. I think its the only fair thing to do. You made a mistake, and i think you should owe up to it. Thats my theory. I could never put my loved one at risk, so i had to owe up to it. You are right, maybe its easier for me. But i have been with this girl for 6-7 years, which more than most people are married for. The only difference is that you have a certificate that designates her as your wife. Talk to her, she may give you support during this tough time. But the ultimate decision is up to you.
I thought like you before, i am be the one getting ill. But you know what, after 11 weeks, i am beginning to think all of us in our situation will turn ok. Just give it time. I am not 100% sure i am, hence my posts, but i am getting better. Good luck. God bless.
