Massage session
I visited a massage parlor two months ago. I received a back massage for 30 minutes then she flipped me over and started manual stimulation. There was No other activities or exchange of fluids other than the manual stimulation.
After two days, I began to have liver tenderness and cought (bronchitis). Now it has been two months since exposure and I still have liver tenderness, slight jaundice (yellow pigment buildup on schlera), and a mouth ulcer.
I have had no diarrhea, ha, lymph node enlargements etc. I am awaiting a pcr test results for both hep C and HIV. I am vaccinated against hep B and neg. for hep A.
Do you think that I have any risk factors of acquiring hiv from my exposure above? If not, is the liver tenderness just a cruel joke by nature.....

Update and one more question at the end.
Here is a 12 week update post exposure/ low-no risk massage parlor catastrophe.
HIV DNA PCR- neg
Elisa w/ ICMA- neg
acute hepatitis panel- neg
Hepc RNA - neg
CMV ab - neg
Now if I had only listened to Teak, I would have 2 G's more in my pocket right now.
However, I am still experiencing strange symptoms which cannot be explained. RUQ tenderness, blood shot eyes (especially innervating a couple of pinguecula's that mysteriously appeared), fatique, etc.... I still believe I picked up some extra luggage from my massage experience.
Can I take these tests as conclusive? If there was a co-infection going on, would these tests have picked it up at this point (12 week period).
Thanks for you time......
