Need help regarding hiv symptoms and testing

Hi Team,

I need help through your hiv expert experience. I had oral sex with a girl and that is my only risk exposure. She flooded her cum on my penis. I know that is low or zero risk behavior.

I have hiv duo test(in india it is known as screening antibody test) on 28th day with index value 0.1 .
I was still not re-assured so i retested at 6 weeks where the value came out as 0.2.
I am totally re-assured by that six weeks test and somehow started to move on. But suddenly my friends told you look thin and have lost weight. When i measured it i got to know i lost 8 kgs without any exercise.
My body too felt warm without fever as noticed by massage parlour girl(as she was the one pointed out...hey sir do you have fever????? i was like no.

I dont know whether it is hiv related or any other disease but since you guys look hiv patients daily so i guess there is nobody else other than you who can give me the best advice related to my health from hiv prospective.

Plz help.

You had no HIV risk and your tests were a waste of time - which is a good thing. it is abnormal to test repeatedly for a disease you are negative for and had no risk, so if you do further testing that indicates HIV phobia so you should seek therapy.  

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.

Your symptoms like this one "My body felt warm without fever " make no sense, so you are letting your imagination get the better of your reasoning.  Time to move on from HIV.

Also you need to distinguish between low risk and no risk, and not interchange the words as if they were the same thing.
