Just to clear this up
I know that HIV can't be diagnosed through symptoms EVER. However; I have one question. The other day I had a low grade fever, muscle soreness, chills, achy body, and a headache. Later that day I found a swollen gland on my groin. All of this went away within 10 hours excluding the gland. Does this sound like a risk for HIV? Or does it sound like anxiety? I'm just worrying about it. I've also had dull pain on and off in my left abdominal/groin area. I'd love to hear your thoughts and your info.
I just got my test results back and I'm HIV negative. Thank you all for your information and support.
Thank you Teak.
No risk what so ever.
Even if rubbed on an open wound?
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
Thank you
There was no penetration--therefore there was no risk.
6 months ago a guy rubbed his **** on my hole bare. May have precum, and I may have had a slight and I mean slight tear on my arse.
Nothing?
