Enlarged Tonsils after Oral Sex

by VTStallion, Sep 30, 2006 12:00AM
Dr. HHH,

Please don't delete this question, it is my first real question as a new thread. I performed oral sex on a woman about two weeks ago. Since then, I have developed very large tonsils, possibly a rash on my sides and stomach, and a fever. The rash possibly started a week ago.I have gone to the doctor and they have taken swabs of my throat. The strep throat tests have come back negative, the first mono test came back negative (I am waiting on a second mono test), and I am waiting on the gonorrhea test.

I also had a HIV test done which came back negative, but I know it was too soon to tell me anything. I know oral sex is an extremely low risk, but I am concerned since my oral health isn't great and I discovered a canker sore soon after the oral sex.

1.) Are enlarge tonsils a symptom of ARS?
