SCARED AND WORRIED 26 YEAR OLD MALE GOING CRAZY

[cheval123]

THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME

I only know my hiv status berfore i went to the club  2 months ago i was in germany visited a  FKK club or a a wellness centre a very clean place its not only for sex but also as a spa gym  the girls there do get tested before they work in there for stds but after they only get tested urine test every 2 weeks i asked the lady at the club and she told me that they have thier own in house doc for that i visited the clubs 3 times and had sex with 11 diffrent girls (once with each) the rule in the club is condom is always used in vaginal and anal AlLWAYS but not for oral thats y most of my 3 min oral was unprotected one girl deep throted me twice no ejeculation and no anal and most of the girls are pros and they seem to know what they are doing and they do clean them selfes after every customer so my only exposure was unprotected oral sex them perfoming on me i didnt perfom on them. plus i had a runny nose and sneezing in some encounters does that put me at risk of getting it more.

my symptoms:

1- 5 days after one of my second visit my right eye got swollen the doc told me it was from stress

2- 2 weeks after my third and last visit to the fkk club i noticed a single tiny small cut on my lip went away in a few days like 5.

3- 3 weeks later my last visit i was scratching my nose with a tissue cuz i felt somthing then little blood came out it was a cut inside my right nostril it hurts and it got crusted and went away in like 9 days

4-  5 and a half weeks after my last visit i felt some muscle aches back & legs

5-   6 and a half weeks after my last visit i got it all ARS ithink i got a high fever, headache , severe dry cough and muscle aches no lymph enlargments got better in 5 days

6- 8 weeks later the muscle aches came back and went away in 10 days

do you think i got hiv risk? was that ars ? igot unprotected once from 11 girls  so is that 0.11 in 10000 risk  help me doc please im going crazy. please explain

Short answer.  Near zero.  Stop worrying.

Longer answer:  As we say several times each week on this site, attention to symptoms is a bad thing to do.  Symptoms are non-specific and most people who have symptoms have something else, usually a community acquired viral infection which is not HIV or STD.  This is even more true for you since many of the symptoms you describe are not suggestive of the ARS.  

Furthermore, your calculation of risk might be correct if all of the girls had HIV.  The fact of the matter is that most likely, none of them did.  

You need to stop worrying.  You do not have HIV.  I have never seen a patient who got HIV from receiving oral sex alone.  You will not be the first.  If you must, get one HIV test,  you are now more than eight weeks since your last exposure and therefore are at a time when 98% of tests which would turn positive have done so.  then, no more test--again--you did not get HIV from the exposure you describe.  EWH

i have to say that this site is really amazing and i think your work is very good i wish you the best of luck in your life doc but my concern was only about the high fever i got 6 and a half weeks later and the oral sex i got from the girls and i think in one of my encounters my penis was in touch with her tonsils for a sec only (deep oral) so i thought that was risky plus in some of my encounters i had a cold while i was having sex so does that put me more of a risk since i have a cold.
