HIV symptoms appear, please help me!!!

I am a homosexual. several days ago I gave unprotected oral sex to a man and his pre-cum was in my mouth for seconds. I suppose he positive because he had all sex with others unprotected.
Now I have a mild fever.Temperature is 37~37.2 C. It last for more than 10 days. Other symptoms such as headache, rush, mild diarrhoea, muscle soreness all appear.

what are my odds I am infected with HIV?

I'm freaking out!!!

Hi keep_alive,

Nobody can justify if the things that people say on the internet forums are the truth. It may or may not be real.
But what we do know for sure is that Dr. Hook from the hiv expert forum advises often that oral sex is not a risk for hiv.

You certainly do not need to test from this oral incident. You don't have hiv.

If advice from this forum is not enough for you, and you need to test for a peace of mind, do so at least 6-8 weeks after the oral incident, whereby you know the results can be more reliable. A negative test then will give you the peace of mind that you need.

Take care.


May God bless

In a Chinese forum, I have found 2~3 guys stating that they were infected with HIV by giving oral sex. They are all gay and had pre-cum or semen in their mouths.

I wanna go to hospital for an HIV test. But it's only 2 weeks after exposure. Is it too soon to detect HIV antibodies?

mine is different. I had the pre-cum in my mouth! I'm not sure if there were cuts in my mouth.
And the symptoms really scare me!
In China, alot doctors tell me giving oral sex is dangerous especially when I have the pre-cum in my mouth.

So,,,,,,in your opinion, it's not necessary for me to have a HIV test?

oral sex does not transmit hiv.  there are over a dozen different proteins and enzymes in saliva that rendered it incapable of infecting.

here are some quotes from the hiv specialists here at medhelp:

by LIZZIE LOU , May 29, 2010 01:29PM
There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?  
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort).  DR. HOOK
