A guy performed unprotected oral sex on me 16 Sept. (MSM)
Only when he done I noticed 2 big lumps behind his ears.
I asked if he has HIV but he refused to answer and left. Before he left I also found out some injection holes on his arms. Looks even more suspicious.
Ive got some cut on my penis due to excessive masturbation.
Worrying that he might have HIV since he refused to answer, keep on thinking with all the possibilities, only after 2 days I decided to visit the doctor.
He advised that unprotected oral sex does have risk of HIV transmission but very low. PEP is not warranted, however, due to my anxiety, he prescribed me with tenofovir + emtricitabine & dolutegravir combination for 30 days as its 30 pils in a bottle.
1st dose started 50 hours post exposure 18 Sept. Last dose 17 Oct.
Not much of side effects but insomnia due to anxiety is real. And Im having loose stool since then.
Last week of PEP I started to have swollen lymph nodes around my neck and groin.
On the 17 Oct (last dose PEP) I re-visit the doctor and had 4th Gen HIV Test and base-line check. Result came back negative. He advised me to have another test after 2 months (3 months post exposure for conclusive result).
The same day itself I had a bad sore throat that my lymph nodes swell even more.
25 Oct (1 week post PEP), Abbott 4th Gen HIV Rapid Test Negative.
As of today, lymph nodes still swell and no sign of them shrinking. Loose stool remains and Im loosing quite some weights too. Even people around me started to concern if I’m having health problem.
Im new to this platform and unable to read through all the post. Hope to get some expert advice to ease my anxiety.
1) Is there risk of transmission if he is HIV positive?
2) Is PEP started 50 hours post exposure too late?
3) My negative test result by far means anything? Good indication or just meaningless?
4) How soon HIV testing post PEP deemed conclusive?
5) Can the swollen lymph nodes and loose stool is due to HIV?
Thank you in advanced for all the answers and advices.
