Tongue kissing with boys and symptoms of suspected acute phase
On July 2, I had the following behavior with a boy:
1. Tongue kiss. I have a small, non-bleeding ulcer. I didn't feel any blood in the process.
2. Touch the surface of his anus. There is no fluid in the anus
3. He licked the base of my penis
Whole procedure less than 10 minutes, no oral or anal sex
After 13 days, the temperature was measured at about 37 degrees Celsius every night, and the highest was 37.35 degrees Celsius. Could this be the acute phase? I was scared.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air ( hand, maybe blood, maybe cuts, maybe fluids, anus, mouth, etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus. You can't get hiv when you use a condom.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.
Normal body temperature is usually between 36 and 36.8 degrees Celsius, so your fever was in your imagination.
No researcher ever thought you could get hiv from kissing UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, so your fear is 40 years behind the times.

Mos healthcare providers consider a fever to be 38 or higher.
Thank you, but what scares me is why my armpit temperature is always between 37 and 37.3 degrees Celsius at night. You said the normal body temperature was 36-36.8, so is this a low fever? And it happened exactly 13 days later
It doesn't matter what scares you. You had ZERO risk for HIV.
Whatever is causing your fever has nothing to do with HIV.

Maybe it's because my basal body temperature is high. In normal times, my body temperature is also around 37 degrees Celsius.
"You said the normal body temperature was 36-36.8, so is this a low fever? "
No, I also wrote, "Most healthcare providers consider a fever to be 38 or higher. "
Since your didn't answer the QUESTION, I'll do it for you. Answer> No there wasn't a penis in my anus when I was kissed and he didn't inject me with a needle during the kiss, so my fears make zero sense and I should move on, instead of wasting my life obsessing about my body temperature which is not even at a fever level.
