POSSIBLE HIV INFECTION
I am a man and one year ago I had Unprotected anal with one man. I don't know his status. He tried to insert his penis in my anus few times however he didn't able to penetrate and he left. Even if some penetration would have been there it would be just a small bit. Now after one and half year I am not well for last six months. My body remains warm , pain everywhere in the body also i had diarrhea for one months also very small blisters appear in my face and my face became dry. I have warm and burning pain in my both armpit. Does this means that i contracted HIV or how much possibility is there that it might be HIV?

But the answer to your anxiety is to have an HIV test anyway. The negative results will be more reassuring than anything anyone on this forum can say. It's pointless to sit around worrying when a clear answer is so easily available.
