Another hiv test to perform?

[CesarSlosse]

Hi,

I had several intercourses.I was receptive anal partner and he used condom. That was 14th January. Got tested 11th February and negative. Meanwhile from 23rd January till 18 February I had contacts. A woman rubbing with her wet vagina against my penis on 23rd January, a guy gave me unprotected oral on 5th February, I gave protected oral to shemale 8th February (didn't understand I asked for condom) . 10th February I had protected sex with female from Brazil. 18th February I was again receptive anal partner, he used condom and stated he was hiv negative. Since a month now I feel tired, enlarged lymph node under jaw (is gone now I think) and sometimes muscles in arms and legs hurt and feel heavy. Today cold chills and pain in neck. I just don't feel good. Reading through posts I don't get smarter but more confused. Could my symptoms be hiv related and that in the heat of the moment I got infected? Shemale and Brazilian csw were both from Latin America I think. Indication for retest hiv?

Regards

While we are sorry you are so anxious, your question has been fully answered.  You have been told by several people that you had no risk. Therefore, this is not an HIV concern.

You don't appear to have been exposed to HIV from what you've described.  In an adult, only unprotected anal or vaginal sex and sharing IV drug needles with infected users is a risk for HIV. You used a condom, which means you were not exposed.

Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV. Only risk assessment and test results matter. You risk was zero, making any testing pointless for you. If you're not feeling well, go see a doctor because you probably just caught a regular cold and it's nothing special.

hiv prevention is straightforward and you read the posts which all give the same advice Chima gave.
Perhaps the confusion arises because you are paying too much attention to the people who post that think they have hiv (so far I haven't seen anyone here in years who actually had hiv mainly because most posters had no risk) but you should only be following the knowledgeable people who post advice because this is a moderated board so any wrong advice is deleted.

What about fluids and some precum that could have entered my urethra or anus? I function but I think I have mild symptoms of an hiv infection

There is no can, could, may, might or shall, should that we can discuss here. As told to you before, your situation is straight forward - you never had unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse and therefore there is no risk that can be associated with your events. It's time for you to move on.

Besides, hiv docs can't diagnose from symptoms so no one here pays attention to those claims that worried people claim, because they may be due to coincidental timing. You shouldn't waste your time studying"symptoms" since hiv docs don't.

Thank you for the replies. Although I know that, I still got afraid somehow because my symptoms seem to last (about a month now or maybe longer). Sorry to bother.

The best thing for you to do is stop googling because there is no useful symptom diagnosis on google (or anywhere else.) If you stop doing that, you will stop thinking about this waste of time and will become happy again.
