I recently gave a new partner unprotected oral sex (coz I've always known it to be very low risk)..... I have a cavity in one tooth, and had a root canal 8 months prior to this but my tooth has separated since.
I have learnt that he is HIV positive and undetectable, my teeth started aching 2 days after the act for about a week (including the tooth that had the root canal) but when I sucked on these teeth (to try and alleviate the pain) no blood came out, am I at risk?
Also I had unprotected sex with this partner (I know this is a high risk) so I need to know if these are ARS symptoms? When I got home the next day I had lost about 7kgs, my teeth were aching, I had night sweats (for about 2 days, but my sheets weren't drenched), then 4-8 days after the act I had migraines accompanied by a tense neck. Then 27-28 days after the act I had a dry throat (for about 30minutes), my forehead is warmer than normal during the day and cooler at night (don't have a thermometer to check my temperature) I have some swelling on the right side of my throat (I don't know if that's a Lymph node or not) it's not tender and I don't feel it when I swallow, it's about the size of a kidney bean
I plan on getting tested after the window period of course but if I've already seroconverted I might as well go now, that's why I need to know if the above indicates seroconversion. It's now been 30 days since the act, please help
That being said, the fact that you had unprotected sex with an HIV+ person warrants a consultation with an HIV Specialist or an Infectious Disease doc. You can test for HIV at anytime after exposure, it's the sensitivity of the test you take that determines when it is considered conclusive. At 30 days, you can request a DUO test (test for P24 antigen and antibodies) for conclusive results.
