help about oral

Hello doctors,

my question is in regard of receiving oral sex, I have never given oral sex with a man and only one women in my life
I have probably received oral sex from 6 different people in the last 6 months, just receiving blow jobs,  I went to the doctor and they gave me doxycycline for 10 days , this was 3 months ago.

i met up with 3 different people in one night about 3 months ago and received oral sex from all 3 of them just very briefly, i know this was dumb but now im freaked out,

i think that after 6-7 weeks after exposure i had bad side effects to the doxy, i was sick but with no fever just no apitite and diharriha no energy, so i started googling and the first thing that came up was HIV , so then i really started freaking out about every thing

now alomost 4 months have past and i currently have the sysmptoms of a geographical tongue, i don't know if its from the doxy i took or the veltrex i take for cold sores, but its there
also a sensation from the knees down that's constant and always there,

im reaching out to you guys because i have a job interview next week that requies a medical completion and i don't want them to have to tell me that im HIV positive

i have only ever had unprotected sex with one person in my life and she was my girlfriend from when i was 14 til 21 and for the both of us we have never been with anyone else besides each other for that whole time we took each other virginitys,  i am now 22 years old.

1. should i be worrying about these sysmptoms of HIV???

Welcome to the Forum. You are worrying unnecessarily.  There has never been a proven case of HIV acquired from receipt of oral sex and you are not going to be the first.  When you take your HIV test as part of your employment physical the test will be negative, proving that you did not get HIV from receipt of unprotected sex.  

As for your symptoms, geographic tongue is not a sign of HIV.  Nor do your other symptoms suggest HIV either.

Anxiety and stress can certainly heighten sensations and leave persons experiencing sensations they might not otherwise notice.  EWH
