Rimming, mosqiutoes, scared for HIV
I am sorry if i sound silly its just that i cant help myself but wonder.
2,5 weeks ago i was rimmed by a guy who´s HIV status i don´ t know. It happened in the woods (i know bad location) and there were a lot of mosquitoes around and so we both happened to be biten by more then 30 mosquitoes each. I know there is really low possibility of getting infected by being rimmed and also that mosquitoes dont transmit HIV, but i am really scared since they could have jumped from him to me in like 2 seconds. I read many articles of why mosquitoes cant transmit HIV but maybe because of my anxiety i just kinda see that it could happen. I am starting to get really scared cause i got sore throat and am really tired, but that may be just me thinking about this too much? Can anybody tell me what risk did i put myself in and if all this is just in my head? Should i get tested?
Thank you in advance
