Thanks... I'll be sure to get us all panel tested.

But what about the incubation period? Isn't it 2 weeks? I really can't be sure my talent hasn't been out catching diseases for the 2 weeks AIM can't test for, right?

I guess what I'm asking is: Is there always a risk of infection, even if you have everyone tested?

Again, I'm sorry to be such an idiot here. I've just read too much stuff online and it all seems to contradict. I mean seriously... I've seen sites with MDs who say not to worry about oral sex. That's where I got confused.
