oral sex

hey
Please explain my situation and what I need and excuse my poor language. Two weeks ago, I had oral sex with a girl for one minute and now I suffer from a rash and sore throat, which is identical to the symptoms of hiv. If this relationship does not transmit, why are there symptoms and thank you

I agree with Anxiousnomore.  You do not need to be concerned about HIV from an exposure of oral sex. Air and saliva both inactivate the virus and people don't get HIV from giving or receiving HIV.  The only ways people get HIV is to have unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or share IV drugs.

thank you,,
I believe your words, but what terrified me was the presence of a rash on my arms and feet after exactly two weeks, and it is one of the early symptoms.  Did the presence of these symptoms change my description of my condition?
You had no risk therefore you are not positive.
Billions of negative people have rashes and don't think they are positive for a disease they can't have. You should move on instead of wasting any more of your life fixated on hiv.
No, your rash has to be unrelated because if you didn't have a risk, you couldn't get hiv.  I would see a doctor about the rash as those are uncomfortable but it is unrelated in any way to HIV.
The rash went away in a couple of days, I'll take your advice to ignore it
Sounds good, fiveguys5.
hey
I apologize for bothering you..
I was able to get over the symptoms, but I got distracted by another thing, which is that the girl was menstruating. Does this increase the concentration of the virus in her saliva so that it becomes contagious? This question makes me tired because the rash has returned again.
NO.  There is no "what if" that you can add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV.  MOVE ON.
I asked DR.HHH (Ask a expret)
and he told me to do a test for HIV and syphilis and he told me some symptoms agree with ARS I am very afraid of diagnosing it

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  (mouth, lips, vagina if she was the giver, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
Her status is irrelevant when you have no exposure.
You might have strep throat, flu, Covid and many other possibilities - no purpose adding hiv  to the list because you had no exposure. Time to stop wasting any more time googling hiv.
