Paranoid?
Hi all,
About a year ago I had unprotected oral sex with a male (I was giving). I don't frankly remember how long it went on, but I'm fairly certain I only had precum in my mouth if anything. I don't know his HIV status, but over the past year I've started to be sick more and more often inexplicably, and am very worried. I know oral carries a very small risk, but should I be tested? Im not sure what to do. Thanks.

If you are sexually active. Get tested every 6 months for your own health. Im not saying your infected but im an advocate of general std screening. Since its on your mind. Why not do it? Take care! And if with a new partner get tested together to avoid the stress of going through something like this. Aand always learn to protect your self. Stay safe!
Thank you, I've been worrying myself silly over this. Unfortunately many symptoms of HIV are very general and could easily be seen as something else, so I managed to work myself into a bit of a panic because HIV is so prevalent where I live.
I see no reason to be tested.
