First time! Please help!
Hello everyone,
1st: So in short about 2 months ago I visited a csw with whom I had unprotected oral and and protected vaginal sex.
2nd: 1 month ago I visited a bdsm csw. There was no oral nor sex. She did insert her fingers in my anus and was wearing a glove. Additions she used sex toys to penetrate me anally all of which were used with condoms.
I have been getting recurring ulcers in my mouth and spots on my back and chest since these incidents. I should mention that I suffer from acne.
I have read that one of the reasons for recurring ulcers is HIV and this I turn and got me very stressed out.
I always think of going and getting tested but the dreaded thought always stops me that the result will be positive.
Do I require HIV or std testing given the above? Are the recurring ulcers and spots a Sign of HIV?

Good news! This does not describe a risk for HIV. The risks for acquiring HIV include having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Oral sex will not result in transmission of HIV, protected sex is safe sex and glove in anus, none are risks. The issues in your mouth and acne are completely unrelated. No risk.
