Answers:
You wore a condom. You're fine. The chances of you contracting AIDS is low, and if you use a condom its even lower.
Other STDs like Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea are more common - but both of these are testable and treatable. Herpes is also very common. It is not curable, but managable.
They say that by 6 months most people infected with HIV will have the antibodies that they can test for - so if you need peace of mind just go get tested one more time after it has been 6 months.
There is no cure for HIV/AIDS, even if you catch this early, But seriously - you probably don't have HIV. Just always practice safer sex, and don't share needles, and you'll probably go your entire life without contracting it. Seriously. So don't stress yourself too much. I worry bout things like this too, and its always for nothing and I just wish I didn't cause myself so much stress.

Having used the condom you should be fine- the kiss- not a risk at all. I had just answered your other question, but with 10 weeks and having used a condom- you are fine.

its best to get tested than wait for symptoms as its very possible not to have symptoms....go get a blood elisa test (& if its positive then western blot)...you could start w/ the ultra-cheap saliva tests out on the market but its hard to say because of the 6-8 month window periodHealth Question & Answer
rapid weight loss
dry cough
recurring fever or profuse night sweats
profound and unexplained fatigue
swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
pneumonia
red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders
It is basically flu like symptoms that come and go. Your life is not over if you have it; there are medcines now that can help you live a longer life. Symptoms of HIV may take up to 10 years to show up and even longer for it to into Aids. I heard that untreated a person with HIV can live up to 25 years; if treated it is possible to live much longer than that. The most important thing is to get yourself tested every 5 years or when you have unprotected sex. Condoms are 99% effective so chances are you do not have HIV but it is better to be safe than sorry.Health Question & Answer
