Do I need testing
Recently i visited a massage parlor and had a one hour massage. it was a dim light and you cant see your therapist properly. after the massage I had a hand job done and also sucked her nipples. As it was a bit dark, i dont know whether there was some cuts in her hand or nipple. I also had a pin and needle felling on the back side of my body immediately after the massage. My worry was i had a lip bite the previous day and had a bad cut on my lips. Now after 3 weeks, i have fever above 102 and severe sore throat. Very tensed now. Do I need to take a test before having unprotected sex with my partner?
You've written other posts. I think I even answered them. What is important is that you take in what I'm about to say so you can apply it going forward. Risks for HIV are specific and simple. Risks of HIV include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs. These are the only risks (as has already been explained to you). This applies to every single scenario you have now and in the future. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Therefore, applying that to the risk you have your current worry about, one would rationally conclude NO RISK.
