Help please

[Going mad with worry]

Hi, I know I am probably asking questions which have been asked many times over however I need re assurance on a couple of things:-

1.  I have had unprtected oral sex a few times over the last 4 months, i dont think I had any cuts or usclers in my mouth at the time however sometimes I do notice blood in my toothpaste when brushing my teeth, What I was wondering can I contract HIV even if any cuts?

2. The guy i was with was masturbating his penis against mine, can i contract hiv this way?

3. About two weeks later I had Diahorea for about 1 week and just recently I have had a minor sore throat and very faint headache and soemtimes aches in my neck and legs, are these symptons or just down to stress and anxiety?

4. The last exposure of this kind was 6 weeks ago however I had a test done which I believe to of included p24 at 3 weeks after the last exposure and it came back negative, should I be concerend?

I do hope you can advice me and please accept my apoligies if I am asking questions asked several times before.
PS  I live in the UK and had my test done there

As you've said yourself, you know that these questions have been asked a lot of times already. So you probably already know the answers you're going to get, which are (as far as HIV is concerned):  (1) Oral Sex is a very very low to no risk activity; (2) Symptoms mean nothing in diagnosing whether or not one has HIV. I totally understand your anxiety as I've been there. But believe me, playing guessing games in your mind is not going to make it any easier. So it's either you accept that you had no risk and therefore no HIV, or if that is hard for you, then get a 13 week confirmatory test, then move on with your life.

Thanks for the responses, the reason I have been worried is because of the symptons of headache, diahorea, and a couple of spots on my arm with a white head on the end, are these typical symptons???  I know I am probably worrying over nothing however I have had another test today which is 7 weeks since last exposure, trying to put my mind at rest but your comments on the symptons would be greatly appreciated.

Why would you be concerned when you didn't have a risk? You didn't need to test to begin with, so yes that would be a final test.

Thanks for your comment, however do the symptons sound like HIV symptons I also forgot to mention I have two spots with white heads on my stomach, should I be concerned???

Would you take my negative test result as final?

Thanks again

No risk

There is almost no chance whatsoever that anyone can get HIV from oral sex, or the situation you described in # 2. There are no recorded cases of anyone getting HIV from that way. Personally, I don't think there is any reason for you to be concerned at all.
