Risk, acute HIV
by marciogomes, Nov 02, 2009 11:57AM
Hello.
I am a man who had oral sex with a man. He did not ejaculated in my mouth but I dont know if there was pre-material.
NINE days afer it I had fever (38,8ºC), less of apetite, fatigue, body aching and diarrhea. Suddenly I caught me worrying if I was having ACUTE HIV symptoms. Went to the doctor and had a blood count (CBC) - I'm not sure if that's the correct name: I am from Brazil and my English is not very good. The CBC came OK. But as far as I have read, an OK CBC doesn't mean anything.
These symptoms were almost gone next day. Had a body aching in the morning but in general I was fine. And then was completely gone.
I know oral sex offers extremely low risk. But that guy had a strange behave. He was handsome and strong, but he said he was drug user (none of them injectable, he said). And he kept making jokes about HIV all the time, as if it was a necessity for him to talk about it (he said he did NOT have HIV). After the sex, he had a more strange behave, I don't know if it was because he was drunk or what. I asked him if he was OK and he whispered "No". I asked him what had happend, and I don't know why he said something like "Don't tell me about good health". Creepy.
I had such quick oral sex. And he did not ejaculated. Well, let's SUPPOSE he was HIV positive. My questions:
1) Is it possible to have acute HIV symptoms NINE days after infecton? Here in medhelp it says 2-4 weeks. Source: http://www.medhelp.org/medical-information/show/3149/Acute-HIV-infection?page=0
2) Acute HIV can last for only one/two days?
3) An OK CBC (I am really hoping I'm using the correct term - in Portuguese we say "hemograma") during the acute HIV period doesn't mean anything. Or DOES it? If I was in acute HIV period, the CBC test would have shown a reduction of SOMETHING in the blood?
Ps.: I had oral sex with a few men previously to that. I know the risks are very low. All of them ware quick with no ejaculation. I was worried with none of them. But the behavior of this last one was CREEPY.

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV nor are you having ARS.
