(Look for my original post "Can HIV be transmitted via a nitrous balloon?")
Hi there,
Thank you in advance for reading...
I attended a "rave" like party on 8/21/10. At this party, nitrous balloons were being passed around. I took several hits...And now I am wondering if there is any chance I can get HIV from sharing a balloon.
I took an oral HIV test at Planned Parenthood on 9/30/10. It was negative.
I tested for other STD's, negative too. Pap smear was normal.
I have not had unprotected sex since 11/14/09. My fiance was a virgin, and we have never had unprotected sex.
I have read that HIV is not transmitted via saliva, but I'm wondering if there is any chance of infection if I shared a balloon with someone that perhaps had an open sore, etc. My concern is that I have a tooth filling that fell out...So if shared a balloon with an HIV infected person, could the virus enter through my tooth? Am I paranoid or is this a valid concern?
I made myself quite sick for 11 days prior to testing. I didn't eat, sleep, suffered anxiety attacks, nightmares, etc. You would think that after I got my negative test results I would be relieved, on the contrary, I began questioning the accuracy of the oral rapid test. And now I find myself crying and feeling nervous all the time. Please help.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Blessed to be alive!

Vanessa, sorry, but I'm closing this thread now because your inquiry was answered many times by many different people already. You did not experience any HIV risk by sharing balloons. Asking again won't change that.
