i'm going through something similar. it must be one of the loneliest things to have to endure. i've almost gone numb now, just the horror that i may have infected my wife jolts me out of my mental fog. i plan to test next week, although i've delayed and delayed, so maybe i won't. i also have developed a white tongue, other symptoms are chronic rhinitis and recently an outbreak of moles (or kaposi sarcoma) on my body. my risk was unprotected oral and 'protected' vaginal. but i think the protected vaginal is what might have gotten me. no chance from unprotected oral - you are ok...i am sure of that.

I hate the name by the way I had a one night stand and felt horrible and I don't know if it's my mind playing games on me I understand how you feel as though you want to take back everything you did and you want the thought to leave your mind I took 3 HIV test and all negative I still convinced myself I was HIV positive so don't feel alone keep in contact with progress I'm here fighting with you ✌

"I need someone to talk to, anyone to talk to, everyone has turned on me, I have zero people in my life"  This is an existential cry for psychological help, which an online forum cannot provide. See a professional counseor ASAP.

Oral sex isn't a risk for HIV, so if these are your only exposures -- including one or more from known HIV infected partners-- you can be sure you don't have it and your symptoms are caused by something else. For reassurance, you should have an HIV test. Don't delay. You can count on a negartive result.

Regardless of HIV and your test result, do get professional mental health care. You won't regret it. Good luck with it all.
