Hello, good afternoon to all. Please kindly advise a worried individual. About a month and a half ago I received oral sex from a woman i barely knew. No other sex at all. She told me she last had sex with a man she had been cheating on her husband with 8 days prior to our encounter. I must point out that I have HSV2 which does make one more susceptible to HIV. I also have been on longtime Valtrex for daily suppression of HSV2 would that have any affect of my 2 negative 4gen tests @ days 17 & 30?
About a week after the insertive oral sex, I started developing abdominal & chest pain, muscle & joint point that to this day hasn't gone away and fatigue. I've lost about 8-10 lbs. I feel my lymph nodes achey. I tested with a 4th generation combo test on day 17 & 30, both negative. But symptoms still continue and Dr HHH & Dr don't consider 4 gen tests conclusive until after 6 wks.
Please advise on my exposure, symptoms, 2 tests their accuracy when I took them.
I've read many posts about oral sex exposures on this thread and every single response from the moderators is the same "oral sex is no risk, no one has ever been infected from oral sex, no need to test".
This is true for INSERTIVE oral sex but it's NOT true for RECEPTIVE oral sex. There's scientific, documented cases of HIV transmission from receptive oral sex in the medical literature. Which is not my situation but just something to point out. I don't understand why the moderators continue to say no one has ever gotten HIV from oral sex when I'm certain they know it has, extremely rare as it may be. I don't know if it's to calm our anxiety but it really making matters worse because it's being dishonest. It's keeping people from testing who should otherwise test if they engaged in receptive oral sex. Again, these cases of transmission were RECEPTIVE oral sex, not INSERTIVE.
Thank you all for what you do on this forum. Sorry for the long post, just a very anxious & worried individual that wants honest advice.
