The lymph nodes in my pelvic area present pain every time i blow my nose or squeeze in my stomach.
Sorry to bother you again Teak but i got another question.
At the 8.5 week mark of the window period from the riskiest sexual exposure i described from my first post on Feb 13, 2014, I went to get tested at the sex clinic with the HIV standard blood test and testing for all other STD'S and they all came back negative.
Last week Thursday however i suffered a summer cold during the rain being outside with swollen lymph nodes in the neck with pain present and runny/stuffy nose and feeling tired for only a day. The lymph nodes disappeared 3 days after it began with the runny/stuffy nose remaining. Now I feel a swollen lymph node with pain on right side of my pelvic area that started yesterday and the runny/stuffy nose is almost gone.
What our your thoughts on what I described? I am still paranoid.
Fair Enough..... Thanks for the advice

We can't tell you what to believe, but we can tell you that our forums aren't a venue for debate over our stance that oral sex carries no risk for HIV. Our stance will not change unless we receive definitive scientific evidence to the contrary.
You don't need to test, and you are not in risk category at all.
Am i such a low risk category that i dont need to go test for hiv?
You are right-you are JUST paranoic. Really-no risk
HIV is not transmitted by oral sex and you have never had an exposure.
Hi Teak, just one last question
This woman who i last had sex with twice 2 weeks ago and twice 4 weeks ago (which consisted of always protected vaginal intercourse at all times and unprotected oral with me ejaculating in her mouth but she did not swallow 2 of those times ) is on her period and caught a cold yesterday with stuffed and runny nose and sore throat, maybe a little abdominal pain and she says she has NO SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES, NO HEADACHES, NO NIGHT SWEATS, NO RASH. she also says that her symptoms are a bit better from yesterday.
Should i be worried for her if i possibly pass on HIV to her? Sorry for the quesiton i am just really paranoid.
No and you never had a possible exposure.
Currently i believe i contracted another cold, my symptoms are stuffed and runny nose and a swollen lymph node. I don't have a sore throat or a fever as of yet. It feels that I may have another swollen lymph node underneath my right chin.
My question is... 1) are ARS symptoms able to reoccur again at 5-6 weeks from possible exposure.
and..
2) if i were to get tested, what would be the most conclusive and accurate test for hiv at 6 weeks
You never had an exposure.
And yellow or brown phlegm is now present when i cough it out
Currently, that dry throat has now developed into my left tonsil becoming swollen and i feel it when i swallow and when i touch it , my right tonsil has possibly become swollen as well and also feel it when i swallow.
What does this mean in terms of hiv after having those cold-like symptoms that started 2-weeks ago?

If you live in Ottawa then Stephen Harper might be the reason you feel unwell....but it sure as hell is not due to HIV!
You never had a biologically relevant exposure.
Thank you,
A few days before i started getting all those, i felt my lymph nodes being weird like they were about to become sore but for the next two days after that it went away and then that last night i was at the club and for a period of time, i was outside the club with friends without my jacket and it was very cold that night. Im just stressing how these symptoms originated, maybe due to the weather living in Ottawa or another virus?
"Since oral sex still does present a very little chance of contracting hiv "
It does not present a very little chance...it presents a zero chance .
If the night sweats were to continue tonight, is that something i should be worrying about? Since oral sex still does present a very little chance of contracting hiv
