Drunken Mistake

[Marko1992]

I'm a bisexual man. About 11 days ago I had a unprotected sexual encounter with a man. Encounter didn't last no more than 10 mins. There was anal and oral sex. About 3 days ago I've gotten symptoms like a runny nose, pressure around my nose, frontal headaches, ear pain and ears being hot. I was wondering if those are HIV symptoms or what? Im going tomorrow to get tested. I don't know about his status Cause it was a random encounter. I'm just freaking out and my anxiety is through the roof. What should I do?

Oral is not a risk. Was the anal protected?

Symptoms aren't used by HIV doctors to diagnose since negative people get earaches etc. so it is best to not spend any time analyzing what you think could be symptoms. Besides, it is too early for ARS.

No it wasnt protected. Is it too early to go get tested? I plan on doing that tomorrow morning.

You have to wait 28 days for a duo test. Try to relax while waiting for the test result because there is no information pointing toward you having HIV at the moment.
You mentioned it was random so does that mean you can't contact the other person for info?

[Marko1992]

Ok. Well the encounter in general was random. Its like an aquaintice. I msged him and asked if he was clean but haven't gotten a response back.

Also do I just wait for the 28 day mark to go tested?

You could see if he has tested, then go from there.
