possible oral HIV exposure?
Hey doc,
I am 19 and met up with a random 25 year old guy on craigslist. I gave him unprotected oral and he did the same for me nothing else. Keep in mind I already have genital herpes. Judging by pic taken earlier that same day, I had a cut on my lip. Since then I have had the following symptoms.
Swollen lymph node under right jaw
Weird pimple like things on my face chest and thigh which scar everytime
Mouth ulcers on my gum right under a bottom tooth
Possible oral thrush with extremely swollen circulmvallate papilla
Dierrea since Sunday, it is now Saturday
Constant stomach rumblings
The exposure was on 12/10. Any advice other then to get tested? This tues it will only be four weeks.

You may be right thanks for the guilt Teak lol. In no way am I trying to be hostile here. It's just I get literally every ARS symptom except for fever. How do I randomly get dierrea, thrush, swollen lymph nodes, and mouth ulcers right after my first gay experience?
Your responses are very reassuring and I just assume it is a coincidence.

No matter what spin you put on your questions, the answer is not going to change. By the way, telling someone that you have herpes and still exposing someone else just because you told them doesn't excuse your responsibility.
Well that is what surprised me, I told him man. He knew all about it before we even met, so don't think I'm some herpes giving madman lol. It seems as though you are very strict and not willing to budge on your stance of HIV and oral sex.
Do you agree that even though my exposure was very low risk, or even no risk, the herpes could have increased that risk?

What matters is your mindset of transmitting herpes to someone else. You don't have an HIV concern.
Hey Teak. I have read your responses all over the internet and have a couple questions.
He was a heavy leaker, couldn't it have gotten into my cut?
I have terrible oral hygiene. Doesn't that matter?
