Anxiety or real risk?

[Fredwebster]

Hi, I hooked up with 2 CSWs about 6 weeks ago. I used a condom (2 actually, one after another) but I am losing my mind thinking I might have HIV. I have sore muscles for weeks now, I keep checking my temperature, I am having hot flashes, instant sweats that go away quickly. I also swear I can feel a lymphnode in my neck.  I keep thinking I might have a sore throat coming, I am about to have mental collapse soon. What were my risks? I keep thinking the condom was too loose, kinda slipping during the encounter... Stayed on and didn't break though.

Help me?

No one said you did.

Tell me where did I write that oral sex carries risk for HIV transmission ?

[Teak]

Oral sex is not a risk with or without a condom.

If the condom was on you the whole time, and it didn't fail you had ZERO risk. All the experts even in thebody.com confirm that. There has never been a case of HIV transmission from latex condoms and it will never be, because condoms DO work.

No, now move along.

Your pretty confident .... I am quite a realist and find it hard to believe the timing of these symptoms and attribute them to anxiety...

I mean is a condom that foolproof? It says "if used correctly" how could you not use it correctly?

Have you ever been wrong? I am going to get tested regardless, but I just wanted to know my odds I guess...

Plus I have lost like 5% of my body weigh (hopefully from lack of appetite) I have a white toung some days (I smoke?) I haven't got really I'll yet, just all of these smaller things keep getting to be more and more.. Hopefully it is my mind playing tricks.

Has anyone on here ever used a condom and reported positive HIV results? Even if it was loose or poorly used?

Anxiety, because you never had an exposure, you had protected sex.
