I am very worried I contracted Hiv.

Hello everyone,

I am very worried that I have been infected with HIV and I simply just can't even sleep at night. A month ago I was very stupid and arange a meeting with a call girl.

I am sorry for describing my sexual acts to you but I dont know how else to put it so that you can give me some advice. We french kissed deeply. I masturbated her clitoris untill she had an orgasm and then she preformed unprotected oral sex on me 2 times. We never had actual sex.

Four weeks and 3 days layter I woke up with severe lethargy and Fatigue along with fever and painfull red throat with white spots on (pus?) on it. I also had swollen painfull lymph nodes around my neck. That went on for all day, I had fever up to 38.6 combined with heavy chiills to the point I was saking. I took a depon (paracetamol) and the fever went down to 37.5. After a few hours the fever went up again (38.4-38.5) and I took more of the Depon and again all the symptoms went down. That was the first day.

The second day I had milder fever 37.6 without taking anything all day utill it went up at the evening (38.00) when I took the paracetamol again.

The third day I woke up with no fever at all (36.7) and allmost no pain at my throat. But the swollen lymph nodes were there.

Today I wok up and there are no swollen lymph nodes nor painfull throat with white spots. I am sorry if I tired you with all the details. What I want to know if there is any possibility that this was the acute HIV illness. Can ARS last only for 2-3 days with only one day of severe symptomps and then reduced everyday?

I know that oral sex is not considering a way that HIV can be transfered but the timeline and the symptoms of my illness adds up the unprotected oral sex I had one moth ago. Do I need to take an HIV test?

Please any help would be a great deal for me.

Wish you all the best.

Oh I know. I have a history with this matter and I have used this and the anxiety forum to adress my problems for a long time. I was doing good and have accepted the facts. What triggered my axniety again was the damn timeframe and the symptoms of my illness that are in sync of what ars could be.
I know that you can not give an answer I havent read a thousand times on the internet. I have beat this anxiety thing again I will do it again.

I know that I put my self in danger when I practice uprotected oral sex (even not for hiv). Things in my life are not great the past two years and I guess it made me weak and I just did not resist. I cant blame anyone but me.

I copied and pasted almost word for word an answer that you yourself gave someone here 3 years ago. If you can't follow your own advice to get your HIV phobia under control in all the time you've been coming on here asking your questions about non risks then you shouldn't be giving other people any advice.

Your issue has nothing to do with HIV. It's a mental problem which requires help from a therapist. I suggest that instead of posting here you find a therapist to discuss your issue face to face. That's literally the only thing that will make any difference for your problem.

You need to start addressing your anxiety. We can't give you a satisfying answer to your question because we already have answered the questions. Your anxiety and fear does not let you see things logically. I suggest that you seek psychological help and fast because things like that can develop a more serious and chronic anxiety problem. If you can not believe that, then you will have to seek professional help. Good luck.

You have been long enough in the forum to know why we reiterate again and again they oral sex does not carry any risk of HIV infection.
Bro.. I say this out of kindness. You have known the risks you take when you have sex outside a monogamous relationship. Why not take precautions? Use a condom even for oral, it will cut down on your anxiety and unnecessary worries. Not to mention to lower the risk of other STIs as well which you might have exposed yourself to when you had unprotected oral.

Now to your questions, you had no risk with the kissing, masturbation nor the oral sex. You don't have to test for HIV. Work with your doctor to sort out your ailments. Its not HIV.
