Possible risk

[Bartolop]

In 2008 I had unprotected oral sex with a sex worker that lasted about two minutes, I stopped her when I though the big mistake I was doing. Now like 12 hours later I had severe sore throat which lasted 2 days, like 4 hours of fever, diarrhea for one day, night sweats, fatigue and headache, after 2 days I was doing ok back and went to work just fine.
Now after 3 year I have 2 small lymph nodes under my armpit with swore feeling and I had strep throat, diarrhea that lasted one 1 week with re-occurrence of 2 days.

Btw I have also experience gingivitis last year with receding gums and bleeding which was ok after treatment at the dental clinic.


1. Now can ars symptoms show that early?
2. Are these common ars symptoms?
3. What are the possible risks to this exposure?
4. Why does CDC have this documentation on oral sex http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/transmission.htm ?

Thanks

Trust the experts,the CDC is ultra conservative and out of touch.They need to update their information.

[S_Griff]

Thanks bro! I have more faith in what you say over the CDC !! I know most of the **** on there is outdated its just scary that they are pushing false facts on people

[Teak]

At no time did you have a risk of contracting HIV.

[RainLover71]

The CDC says one thing about one HIV concern and then says another thing regarding another HIV concern,they just love confusing people.

[RainLover71]

1.Yes,clean them 2.YES 3.NO 4.YES 5.NO 6.YES 7.NO 8.NOT CLEAR 9.NO 10.NO 11.NO 12.NO 13.NO 14.NO 15.NO 16.That's absurd.

[S_Griff]

I believe this is the link from above post?? Im curious why the cdc says this ?? I copied and pasted?

Can I get HIV from oral sex?
Yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex, though it is a less common mode of transmission than other sexual behaviors (anal and vaginal sex). There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.

If the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through

the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis);
the lining of the vagina or cervix;
the lining of the anus; or
directly into the body through small cuts or open sores.
If the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.

The risk of HIV transmission increases

if the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat;
if the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or
if the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Not having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV.

If you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male,

use a latex condom on the penis; or
if you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used.
Studies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases."

If you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female,

use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam, or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.
If you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming),

use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam, or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high.  I would say they are effectively zero.  How much of his ejaculate or other genital  secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference.  EWH "
"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow." Dr.Hook

Initial symptoms were felt in 2008 and I can remember them since I have he doctors prescription and findings. What about the other questions on CDC?

It's 2012 and you never had an exposure.
