Oral sex and herpes

Question: I am feeling terrible! For a momentary pleasure now I am suffering so much. I receive oral sex, and now I am plagued with worry that I have been infected with Herpes. What is my risk?


Answer: You should relax. Herpes is only very rarely transmitted by oral sex. The possibility of you being infected is very low. You should not worry regarding this episode. Only if you have any concerning symptoms I would recommend testing for herpes.

Stay safe!

False Positive HIV Antibody Test

Question: I did a rapid test in my home for detection of HIV. There was a faint line. Is it possible that this was a false positive?  Answer: It appears that the test was not done correctly. You should follow the instructions carefully when you do this test at home. At present, I would recommend a blood test in the lab or hospital. It is possible that this was a false positive. Since this test is very sensitive a possibility of a false positive result is always there. Love yourself!

The treatment of this condition is by behavioral therapy. You should consult a therapist who has experience in Acceptance And Commitment Therapy (ACT). This type of therapy has shown a very good result in treatment of this condition.
