Confused on risk and testing times

Hello everyone. I'll try and keep this short and to the point.

My risk was aprox. 1 minute of insertive unprotected oral from a pro. I understand this is very minimal or close to no risk. However I have been experiencing many unexplained symptoms from 9 days after exposure including the following:
Day 9- 1 swollen groin node (still remains)- goes away when I lay down??
Day 21- sore throat, and various leg muscle aches, lasted on and off a day or two at a time for 40.
Many different spots on skin.
I know I already had HSV-2, which I hardly ever had an outbreak but since this episode I've had about three.

My testing history is as follows:
10 days EIA Negative, 59 days EIA Negative. Hopefully this is ok.
1) Is this good so far or could this possibly change?
2) I would like to find out which gen. test it was but cant find out. cddmedical.com Texas is where the test was sent to be checked. 3) Where do the % come from and what would mine be so far at 59 days negative.
Thanks for your time.

Anyone else have comments on my situation. Also is there any one on here that has studies in this?

The past two days I have been feeling lousy, runny nose, sneezing, overall body fatigue, cant get ou of bed, etc.

I am at 100 days but have to wait for appt to test again. My last was at 8 1/2 weeks as i said.

I understand the Dr HHH says close to no risk but that still is not the same as NONE.

What are the chances my 8 1/2 will change?

And did anyone know what kind of test that lab may have used. I gave the name in a previous post.

Thanks.

Hi buddy,
I think you did not read what xhost told ya

blow job  = NO RISK
so far what i've read there's not even 1 documented case of acquiring the virus through blow job

Most of your symptoms are stress and anxiety related problems and the rest like the pain in your anus and etc are just irrelevant, please try and google 'symptoms of anxiety' you would find most of your symptoms there

and what are you panicking about?
You think HIV ARS is like just another pimple or something which comes and goes with out much trouble, ask them who've been through it, they'd tell ya about it's intensity, it can easily take you to the ER

I was tested in PA and blood sent to CDD Medical in Texas. cddmedical.com

Does anyone know what test generation they use there?

Also does anyone else have any comments on my case?

The other problems I didnt mention before are on and off irritation around the anus. No I never had any other exposure other then the BJ either.

And ifanyone could tell me about the 8 1/2 week percentages of changing from neg to pos I would greatly appreciate it.

Actually, the generation of test, relative to your "risk", does not matter in the least. In simple terms, I have never heard or read of anyone contracting HIV from receiving a blow job. So, your "risk" really wasn't much of a risk at all. In fact, most knowledgeable doctors would have told you that you didn't need to test in the first place, as you had no realistic chance of catching HIV from the scenario that you described.

Your "symptoms" are a sign of something, whether of anxiety or stress or whatever, but they are not, and I repeat: not, symptoms of HIV. I know that you are worried and anxious, which perhaps might lead you to attribute every thing happening in your body to HIV. I know, I've been there. But, given the encounter that you describe in your post, whatever you are experiencing, it isn't HIV related.

If you are worried about something going on in your body, by all means, go to a doctor and get it checked out. But, I believe you can put your HIV anxiety behind you.
