Hiv scare
I posted before about an experience with a handjob and wiping of penis urethra with a towel that might orbit be contaminated. I've had symptoms of dizziness, loss of concentration and loss of memory (coming up with the right words), trying to remember little things. Are these symptoms of hiv? It's been exactly 4 weeks today since exposure

No one has ever been infected with HIV from a towel. You will not be the first. All of your symptoms sound neurological in nature so you should go see a neurologist for a correct diagnosis.
Thank you for your response. I appreciate your words.
Thanks do much
You did not have an HIV risk. Let it go. As for your symptoms go see your Dr. Because those symptoms are not HIV symptoms or HIV related.
I was told that I couldn't have contracted hiv from this events. And I do believe but then things like this happen and it makes me doubt a little. I'm usually very alert, energized and good memory. But I read that hiv csn affect all these things and that's when doubt creeps in. I fight these doubts well enough with the help of all the posts about the impossibility of hiv transmission through a hand job or towel. Sometimes I feel vulnerable.
