Please Helpppp!!!
Please answer my questions as i dont know anything about hiv transmission. My risk was, someone kissed me in my sleep. It was a wet kiss for 10-12 seconds(open mouth).I woke up next morning and realized what had happened. This was in may or june 2014. i also had a dry cough that time that i got after a sore throat for 2-3 days.( i cant make out the exact time when this dry cough came).This cough eneded in september( i smoked that time).In October 2014 I read somewhere that you can have hiv and not know it. Thats how i started taking to much stress about it. So in november 2014( after taking stress for a month) i started having low grade fever in evenings ( 99 f, ) soon after that my tonsils swelled and havent gone down since then. My questions are as follows.
1. Can open mouth kissing transmit HIV when someone is in their sleep I.e. no saliva present. Because saliva is not produced in large quatities when you are asleep. and saliva is the thing that doesnt let hiv infect you.
2. The symptoms that I had(sore throat for 2-3 days and dry cough for 3-4 months that started in may). Are these symptoms consistent with ARS.( HIV initial symptoms )
3. Is the tonsil swelling related to hiv. Also the petechia. i occasionaly come up with petechiae in mouth . not palatal. but inside of cheeks I didn't happen until 6 months after possible exposure. Also I have a lymph node under my jaw which is 1 c.m. or less in size plus have 2 more nodes in my neck less than 1 cm ,say .5-.7 mm. The doctor said that this is because of the tonsil infection in your throat . I don't have swollen lymph nodes in other part of my body ad far as I can say. Is this normal?
3. Could stress have weakened my immunity which may have caused other virus i already in my body to relapse( like EBV,mono).?
4. How much blood should be present in mouth for hiv transmission to happen via kiss.
