anxious, depression of getting hiv
I am a male. I had a sexual contact with a boy of about 21-25 years old in the Netherlands. I met across him in internet gay chat.
The facts are:
0. He told me that he had no hiv and that he checks himself every 6 month.
1. We did mutual masturbation. I touched his penis, he touched mine.
2. No insertion sex, I mean no penis-to-anal or penis-to-oral contacts from either of partners.
3. I had a small wound (scratch like) on one of my finger. I am pretty sure that it was not bleeding. It appeared about 24 hours before the sexual contact and even that time it was not bleeding (at least I did not see the blood).
4. The boy did not have much precum, therefore I spited a bit of my salvia and wetted the head of his penis. So, I might have touched my lips with my fingers (and there potentially could be some of his liquid).
5. We did not have a french deep kissing, but touched lips-to-lips perhaps not more then two-three times.
6. He cummed on his stomach, then I cummed on his leg. I think my penis did not touch his semen, but I do not remember for sure.
7. I also put a condom on one of my fingers and stacked in his *** and massaged him for some minutes.
8. Now after 4 weeks and 2 days I have the following symptoms: a fever (I guess around 37.5C) for 2 days. Togetehr with the fever I had some muscle pain, pain in my eye balls when rotated and sore throat (pain when I swallow). After 2 days the fever has gone, but sore throat has not. Now it is 5th day. Sometimes (though not often) I cough with phlegm. No heavily running nose, but some nasal liquid which I swallow from time to time.
Doctor, what is my risk? I have already asked a doctor on this forum but I would like to get a second opinion. I am deadly scared because of my symptoms.
It is possible that in my description of what has happened, I missed some details. The only thing for sure I know is that it was not penetrative sex in any way.
Thank you!

Something to add about my sypthoms.
I would not worry but normally after a soar throat I have a heavy running nose. And the throat pain this time is not heavy, normally I have a bad pain. And what's strange, it continues like this for already for 4 days.

The issue of whether you need to be tested is inherent in the doctor's reply- you don't.
I know you said you won't return to this question, but please Doctor reply to me for the last time. Do I need to be tested?
Dear Doctor,
Thank you. Just last question if I may. The "burning sensation" that I have in my armpits, can it be ralted to hiv sympthoms? Now I have no fever (I had 2 weeks ago) and seems no other sympthoms, but only in my armpits. I am scared because I never had this before.

The answer to your question is that there is no risk at all of you contracting HIV in these circumstances.
I appreciate your statements about symptoms but there is no risk at all of HIV here.
best regards, Sean
ps I'm afraid I wont be returning to this question

Dear Doctor Cummings,
Thank you for your answer.
In fact I had to tell you that I have had TWO sexual contacts with two different boys, with about 24 hours between the contacts.
With both of them I had mutual masturbation, no *** or mouth penetration. With the first one I kissed (as explained above) and with the second one I did not kiss, but fingered him (as also explained above).
I did not write these details about what I did with either of them because the length of one question is limited (not all detailes could fit it) and because I thought this was not important since I had the same type of sexual activity and simply put all together in one question.
I am a bit scared that I did not provide you with the full information. Now you know all.
Based on this new fact, would your opinion change?
PS. I am still not very well - coughing, greenish sneezing. My family members are also ill - high fever, looks like flue. Perhaps they have got it from me.

Now the fever is back on me :(. About 37.4C. Still pain in the throat and some nasal secretions. Plus some pain when I rotate the eye balls.:(
One more thing.
I live in France and not yet speak french therefore it is difficult to talk to doctors here about my problems. I rely on this forum. Thank you for getting back to me.
No I have runny nose too. No fever.
