Freaking out, Please Help.. Last Post

SO I met this guy who I liked.  WE hung out for 3 nights in a row and well we made out and KISSED HEAVILY and hard.  HE told me that he was HIV+ so I knew I coudln't handle that and wasn't mature yet to date someone with HIV.  WEll about 2 days later I started checked my temperature and I was running temperatures from about 98.6 to 99.3 but it would vary.  I would wake up in the morning and it would be like 98.1 so I wasn't worried, BUt i usually never runa temeprature.  So I was freaking out.  Last sunday night I got up in the night and threw up a couple of times.  This was 6 days after he had told me that he was HIV+.  Well I go tup to 100.5 that night, btu then it went down that next morning.  Well now tomorrow it will be 2 weeks ince I have found out, and last night I ran a temperature of like 100.5 to 100.1 but now I am back in the 98's.  So my question is should I worry that I have HIV?  I mean all we did was kiss? I asked him as soon as I found out if he had any cuts in his mouth or open sores and he said no.  Then I was like what about if you were bleeding and he said that he wasn't.  Should I worry that this is HIV, or just forget about it.  I mean all we did was kiss!  Please let me know what you think!

Amazing what our minds can do to our bodies. You're going to be fine. Relax. Kissing is not a means for transmitting HIV. Saliva is not an infectious substance for HIV. There is only 1 document case of deep kissing transmitting HIV and that was because both had massive dental and bleeding gum issues. There was blood within the saliva that caused the transmission, not the saliva itself. If kissing was a risk factor, HIV would be considerably more prevalent and we'd all have it. :)

You're going to be fine.
