update on oral sex
hi teak and liz,
I already posted a question on poz.com where I was told that my risk was low because theoretical.
I engaged in oral sex with a man whose status is not know, twice. No ejaculation (do not know about precum. Anyway it was very little). All this happened at the end of July. Up to know I have had swollen lymph nodes, muscular pain and three months ago I started noticing a sort of rash on my feet and hands/arms (small little dots and on my feet something very similar to insect stings).
The man I gave oral sex to and I have talked about Hiv on our first dates ( he claimed he tested negative on October 2007 and never having had unproteced anal sex but always unproteced oral, never with ejaculation). I tested negative just a MONTH priore to these episodes (June 08)
1) if all the symptoms I experienced were connected to an Hiv infection they should have stopped by now or not (nodes and rash)?
2) do you think I should test?

Here is Andy's comment to you.."Anytime you sex other than with your own hand there maybe "theoretical risk." But in the real world of HIV we know it happens through unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. That is taken directly from your thread.
ok teak, no I know what you meant by writing that. Sorry but English is not my language...but in answering the world theoretical was taken into account.
Oki doki, thanks again for telling me I were not at any risk. Even if I licked into his penis opening at the top?

I do risk accessments in AidsMeds in the "Am I Infected Forum" and I posted to your thread and I also know what Ann and Andy and I replied to you.
I did post there, the nickname is also the same.
thank you for the quick aswer!!

You didn't post that question on AidsMeds and got a low risk answer. You were never at risk of contracting HIV from oral sex.
forgot to ask:
I also licked his member. If my tongue went inside the opening at the top of his penis would my risk be higher?
