HIV Risk

Risk of HIV
by tank912, 26 minutes ago
3 weeks ago I went with a sex worker and had protected oral and vaginal sex. I do not recall the condom breaking in any way. She also gave me a love bite around my nipples - I did not see any blood or cut on me but one tiny opening of skin I could see after. She also gave me some closed mouth kisses and one open mouth kiss where we touched tongues and she sucked my lip as she withdrew her mouth. I suffer from ulcers and bleeding gums. 2 and a half weeks later I have a sore throat and swelling around my throat _ I am scared this is HIV symptons as the internet is full of sore throats and throat swelling as a sign of HIV and the coincidence of my contracting a sore throat and swelling at this time seem to much so I can only presume it is HIV symptons

I want a test but believe I have to wait 12 weeks to be sure

Any advice would be appreciated as I am so ill with worry at the moment and can not eat without feeling sick

Hi Again

I am sorry to bother you again but I have been searching online and reading many different websites and all point to my sudden sore throat and gland swellen as a strong sign of HIV. I honestly can't see the heavy coincidence of me suddenly havign swollen glands when I have not had them since being a child and now I have them 2.5 weeks after a risk encounter. I know you try to put people's mind at rest but the facts are that I have had a risk encounter - sex worker with a condon - condoms are proven to be safe but not full proof, kissing with my mouth ulcers and bleeding gums - risk of blood to blood contact, and love bites on my nipples with the sex worker biting me and me having a skin tear as a result

I am driving myself crazy with worry and it is these swollen glands that are proving this to me

dont have a clue how long it takes for them to answer.

Thank you for your help. I also posted the same question on the paid forum - do you know how long the paid forums usually take to reply

My sincere best wishes to you and your family

Thank you

you were NEVER at risk from what you have described...and YES...i read your post in it's entirety.

Forgot to add- when I got home the love bite marks stayed for 24 hours and I could see a small tear in the skin around my nipple where she bit me.

Hi

I am worried that the love bites around my nipples could have entered blood into my system, also the fact I have bleeding gums and mouth ulcers and the Asian sex worker kissed me inside my mouth and sucked my inner lip as she withdrew. I had stopped worrying but the fact that after 2 and half weeks I suddenly have two clear signs of HIV - sore throat and swollen glands have now worried me sick. I used a condom for oral and vaginal sex and as far as I am aware it did not split but statistics show condoms still pose a small risk. Statistics show one documented case of HIV via deep kissing with 2 bleeding gum people.

putting your "symptoms" aside...exactly what part of your exposure are you thinking was risky?  i sure cant see anything.
