Scared
To make a long story short Jun 06 I gave a guy oral sex for maybe 2-3 min. No ejaculation but couldve been pre-*** don't know. Had all symptoms even a fever of 100.9 one night. The guy supposedly had a test done at my request where they took his blood in a vial and gave him his results within 30 min. I never heard of that type of test where they would draw your blood in a vial and still give you pretty much instant results so it is hard for me to trust that. I had numerous tests done all negative thank goodness. My doc finally convinced me I was fine after 6 months and I could continue to be a blood donor to red cross like I had done before this ever happened (I have donated a lot). Last week I went to donate and I couldn't because my hematocrit was 36 and it had to be 38 I have never had this happen before so I look online and it says anemia is a sign of HIV. Then a few months back I had something that looked similar to Erythematous candidiasis on the roof of my mouth just for two days with no symptoms at all I just noticed it in the mirror and I just now saw that that is an early sign of HIV. I can't find any other thing it could be from other than the net keeps saying HIVI am trying to be strong but why are all these things signs of HIV. I have tested so far out and I am so scared because when I start to calm down and comfort myself I find something else that ties it back to that. Can someone offer any advice? Anything would be greatly appreciated! Teak any thoughts?
A test at 6 months trumps all symptoms...if you are a woman anemia isn't all that uncommon.
You are not dealing with HIV, but see a MD if symptoms persist or concern you.

1) hematocrit has to be 38? Not at all, 36 is the lower values for most labs for women>19 . Besides that it may be a symptoms of acute infection (few weeks after infection)
2) Erythematous candidiasis for just two days? Well, that would mean you have a very strong inmune system to fight it back in two days or... it wasn't candidiasis
