hello, im very concerned....in november 18 i received unprotected oral from a sex worker, i know the risk is low but symtpoms worry me a lot....
las week of january i developed a balanitis in my penis, and i read candida albicans is common as a ars....this balanitis still doesnt go away....what are my chances?

thank you

Your reading way too much and freaking yourself out unneccesarily. Oral sex doesn't transmit HIV, and while it is true that candidiasis is common in HIV-infected persons, it only manifests itself years later after significant immune system damage has been done. It is never a symptom of ARS. You have nothing to worry about.

zero, zero, zero if that was ur only exposure. because it was protected.
but if u remain doubtful get tested plenty of time has past by.
if u r in this forum is because u have anxiety and if thats the case no matter what we tell u it won't make u feel better. but have been past the window period. so just get tested and move on with life.

ups sorry it was unprotected. but probably still zero chances.
but get tested

[guille]

thanks, but i read somewhere it was a sign of ars....dont know what to think

[gates85]

Nope, candidiasis is never a symptom of ARS. It is only indicative of HIV in the late stages of the infection. No if's, and's, or but's. Anyone who says otherwise is misinformed and plain wrong.

[completely convinced]

As far as I know (or I have been told) Once infected with HIV SOME ppl develop symptoms 2-4 weeks after all at once and they leave all at once.  After this you remain symptom free for years.  Yeast infections do not show up in early infection, only late stages of HIV usually.

Guille,


Receptive Oral Sex = NO RISK

saliva contains sugar proteins which eliminates the virus hence practically your risk was '0'

Your symptoms has nothing to do with HIV ARS, they are terry irrelevant

Take it easy, you don't even require any kind of tests.

Be safe

Mike
