Hi hope all are ok for the most part. I'm generally stressed due to this situation and three others unrelated to health/sex. I would say this is likely the most I've ever been stressed out in my entire life.
My exposure is probably high risk? I really don't know how risk is qualified.
I had insertive oral (a few minutes), vaginal (10min or so), and anal sex twice about (8 minutes total). All interactions were "unprotected" with an HIV unknown status friend.
Some background to explain my lack of using the condom (I understand this is not a valid excuse). I have had many many encounters with this friend over the years and mostly unprotected. I've been tested for HIV and other STDs many times during the six or so years we have been active and I haven't developed any symptoms or had any issues.
All STD tests come back negative. (HIV and other common STD tests).
I'm Under a LOT of stress for reasons unrelated to this event. So I'm not sure how to judge my symptoms.
However, in this particular case about a week after our last interaction. I developed a mild sore throat. A few days later I developed bouts of diarrhea, sweating, fatigue etc and the sore throat kept intensifying. Meanwhile I'm not sleeping well due to stress with other things unrelated to this. I don't think much of it. Then my son comes down with Strep (which was diagnosed by a quick test) during the second week of my bouts with the soar throat I got to my GP and get amoxicillin prescription, based on positive result of my son and my own sore throat, with minimally swollen glands no fever.
I keep taking the medication and there is absolutely no improvement in symptoms of sore throat. Throat gets worse and worse, I'm on day 8 of antibiotics and my throat is in a worse state than it started at. I had a bout of cold sore on my nose (Herpes Simplex 1 that I got from my current live-in FWB). My son is almost done with his treatment and seems to be doing well. He has a little soreness still that can be seen with the naked eye but he says it feels a lot better. But isn't 100% gone, his lymph nodes in neck and under jaw seem pretty swollen still.
My other friend with benefits that lives with me started developing symptoms of sore throat, and general malaise, along with Herpes 1 break out on mouth, shortly after her antibiotics that she was taking for "womanly" issues finishes. Now her throat looks and feels exactly like mine. We have had unprotected tests.
So here I am on day 22 post potential exposure with friend #1. I had a 10 Panel STD test done a day ago Day 21 post exposure. I'm nervously, no panickingly awaiting results.
1. Chlamydia
2. Gonorrhea
3. Hepatitis A
4. Hepatitis B
5. Hepatitis C
6. Herpes 1
7. Herpes 2
8. Syphillis
9. HIV 1 & 2 4th Gen antibody/antigen
10. HIV RNA Early detection test
Based on the HIV tests that are being conducted will a result at this point rule out HIV or do I need to have same HIV tests re-done at 28 days or Antibody test at 3months?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
