More Symptoms! Advice please...

I have had strange symptoms for a few weeks now. I know I have had people saying I was not at risk but I am still not sure what is wrong with me. I have had a lot of anxiety about the whole thing, I think about it 24/7 and it is crazy.

I had unprotected, brief, oral sex with a stripper. No ulcers on my mouth, no blood or anything from her. She also kissed the top of my penis.

A week later I have a red, spotty, ulcerated gum. Then I started to get a little ache in the groin, abdomen area. Since then my neck has started to feel stiff and tender, with a dry throat. Along with my armpits (two or three 'throbs' per day)I think it may be my glands. I have had a red patch and ulcer since, I am not eating much and sleep is sporadic. What is wrong with me? Are these symptoms of early HIV? It has been 4 weeks or so now and I still feel ill and very, very anxious. Can these symptoms be down to stress?

Thank you all for your time and advise.

Thanks all

Update - My GP puts it all down to stress. My Lymph nodes are fine (I thought they were painful!), she didn't think I needed the sexual health screening on my exposure. 'Take some time off work, relax and move on'.

I guess a sore throat and diarrhea for the past week doesn't change anything?

Thanks all,

You know realized that you where never at risk, and from now if you manage to control your anxiety all your symptoms will start to disapear, so move on and forget about this.

Indeed! Silly things do sometimes come back to cost us though. I have read everywhere on these forums that HIV is practically impossible to catch from cunnilingus or indeed from recieving a blow job. Other sites are not so generous though! The HIV helpline in the UK said the only cases they have known are from heavily menstrating ladies and men with ulcerated throats. I guess I can see how that one could happen. I just keep feeling my neck, thinking how dry my throat is. My GP didn't even think I should be tested for HIV (as this is the only time I have been daft).

Thank you all for the advice.

I wouldn`t mind breif unprotected oral with a stripper right now to be honest. I think you`ve hit the panic button too early dude.You`ve caught nothing. She`s probably cleaner than most women you know.

Whats wrong with you is anxiety. About every one of your symptoms can be caused by anxiety. Stifi neck, dry throat, sleep and appitite problems are definitely anxiety related. The fact that you even notice 2-3 throbs under your armpit definietly points to anxiety and the hyper awareness that comes long with it.

You werent at risk for HIV in the first place.

Move on. Your so called symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.
