I had a risk?

Hello all!

I juat wonder if I had a risk for HIV. So will make ot short, unprotected oral (receving) and protected vaginal sex. I had all symptoms, I know symptoms mean npthing when it comes to HIV, but I will shate them just in case; fever, headache, chest pain, bone pain, lymph nodes in neck (still have them), cough, rash. I'm under heavy stress and anxiety, I had a quick oral fluid test at the clinic after 5 weeks and 4 days (39 days)  and it came back negative, they told me to come back in 2 months thats the 3 months mark. So is the quick test at ... Lets call it 6 weeks don't think 3 days up and down are a big deal..a good sign? Or its totally useless at that point? I just cant explain the symptoms I had... Also keep in mind as I know the condom did bot break or slip, never had a broken one...is it obvious? Anyway, thanks for reading!

You had protected vaginal and the condom did not break..............NO RISK NO NEED TO TEST (And when a condom breaks, you will have no doubt!)

You had oral sex which is NOT a risk for HIV but CAN be a risk for other STD's so you may want to test for those.

And since you know that symptoms are NEVER used to diagnose HIV, I won't bother to repeat that.

Your symptoms are/were most likely from a cold or the flu, but I'm going to guess the vast majority of them were anxiety driven. (Did you Google ARS symptoms?)

So, you had ZERO risk for HIV from both the vaginal and oral sex. It's POSSIBLE you MAY have contracted an STD from the oral, but your doctor can rule those out very quickly.
You do NOT need to test for HIV.
ALWAYS USE A CONDOM......PLAY SAFE

Thanks for the answer! Yes, I did the fatal mistake to google ars symptom... then y anxiety + stress did the job. But yea I will for sure check myself for other STDs thanks again for your time!
You're very welcome!
They need to rename Google the "Scare the Crap Out of People" search engine! Don't wait too long to check for the STD's.
