Good evening, here is 25 for the good you do for people like me. I am still dealing with anxiety over the equivocal hep c test that was proven false by the RNA. I know  I could put this to end probably with another test but I know me. I would question that test and continue testing. I choose to believe the RNA based  your expert answers and myself knowing I have never had the exposures you described. Thank you for all you do.

I'm not sure why you are back, nor why you did not use the thread which was already open (now closed).  You need to move on. Let me point out-

1,  Your results were NOT equivocal, they were FALSELY POSITIVE
2.  You have been teste enough.  Further testis is a waste of time

Please move on.  EWH

Good evening, first I have browsed this site and gained a lot of knowledge. Some of the verbiage used by the doctors are somewhat different but all point the same direction. Can you please clarify some things: 1. HIV is only transmitted through penis/vagina, penis/anus or penis/mouth {rare if ever},  2. Mutual masturbation is considered safe sex with very LITTLE or no risk even with nicks, scrapes, small cuts on hand. 3. Genital to Genital rubbing transmission is possible for some STI, herpes etc but rare. Bottom line, for the most part, no penetration penis anyway is probably for the most part safe or low risk. Thank you for the last post I will make on this.

I think you already know the answers here:

 1. HIV is only transmitted through penis/vagina, penis/anus or penis/mouth {rare if ever}, 
correct

 2. Mutual masturbation is considered safe sex with very LITTLE or no risk even with nicks, scrapes, small cuts on hand. 


3. Genital to Genital rubbing transmission is possible for some STI, herpes etc but rare. Bottom line, for the most part, no penetration penis anyway is probably for the most part safe or low risk.

No question, just a simple thank you. No need to even reply really. I'm sure your group has better things to do. Take care and continue the good deeds
