Hi doctor! I am scared again about hiv infection
Hi dear doctors, I am so sorry to post a repetitive question for you but I cannot hold my anxiety. A few months ago, I performed oral sex to a South American guy’s penis for about 15-20 seconds. I didn’t feel his pre-seminal liquid but I am not sure if there was any. Moreover, I am not sure if there were any cuts in my month. I didn’t experience any acute-period-like symptoms, like fever, pains, rash...to my best knowledge. And I posted a question here and got the advice “no risk” so I calmed down. But, unfortunately, I did experience an horrible anxiety and depression for A LONG TIME imaging how scary my future would be if I had been infected the virus... but after rational thinking I could always calm down. However, these days I am expericing a very strange pain, which is always “moving”, sometimes at my fingers, sometimes at my left hand, sometimes at my knees....but only one place at one time. I got the advice from my friend, who is a doctor in my city in Japan, that longtime can cause subtle pains and it’s not unusual... but I dare not to tell him that I had sex with a male when I traveled to South America. I am so scared now and expericing the worst anxiety since I was born...please reassure me that giving oral sex to a guy, maybe with pre-seminal liquids, maybe with cuts in mouth cannot be a mode of transmission of hiv.... thanks for saving my life...give you my best respect!
But why my pains happened so suddenly... I am really scared of this strange symptom

You will need to see your doctor for diagnosis of your non-HIV related pains. This forum is for HIV questions only, and your pains are not related to HIV because you had no risk for HIV.

This is not an anxiety support group. You have been assessed as having no risk. If you're unable to accept this and move on with your life, seek a therapist with whom to discussing your irrational health anxiety.
You had no risk. If it helps take an hiv test.
Can anyone answer my question? :(
* longtime depression and anxiety can cause subtle pains
