Worried sick
I am a 21 year old gay male. Less than 2 weeks ago I performed unprotected oral sex on another male twice in a diration of two hours. The majority of the time was just kissing. He was performed oral on me. Three days later I woke up with a dry throat not necessarily sore. I then looked in the mirror and noticed that my right tonsil was a little swollen. At least that's what I think. I never look a my tonsils and for many years I thought my uvula was my tonsils. Also I noticed two small red bumps on the back of my throat. They do not hurt. They're just there. Another thing I was very thirsty and began drinking lots of water. Are these any indications that I have HIV? I would like to add that my two bottom wisdom teeth are growing in but they did not hurt at the time. I also did not swallow but pre cum could have been present. I understand that many people have stated their opinions claiming "no risk" and some say "extremely low risk" but I just don't know. This has never happened to me before so I am extremely worried. If you do not suspect HIV what do you think my symptoms indicate. Thanks in advance. What do you guys think? I'll definately get tested in a couple of months but I either needs words of comfort or someone to give it to me straight.
You have been answered. No every one who posts here is going to take time and answer questions that have already been answered.
you had NO risk from anything that you've described.
signs of early infection come at 2-4 WEEKS post infection...your symptoms are in no way hiv related. sounds like a normal throat infection.

This forum is about hiv. The symptoms are not an indicator for hiv. If someone had an exposure should test and wait for the results. Your incident(unprotected oral) is not considered as a way of transmission. Visit a doctor for your swollen tonsils. Maybe it is just anxiety
Are you sure? I'm getting so paranoid. And No I have never engaged in anal sex, so technically I am a virgin. What do you suggest are the swollen tonsils and red bumps? Do you suspect gonorrhea?
