What risk am I at? Unprotected cunnilingus with CSW

Hi

About 3 weeks back, I (24 male) had protected sex and unprotected cunnilingus with a spanish female sex worker in Switzerland. Two weeks later, I got a mild fever with sore throat that has lasted 7 days and is still going on. No significant muscle pains. No swollen lymph nodes. My colleague with whom I spend about 6 hours a day in a 5mX5m office had the flu for a week, just prior to my fever.

I know cunnilingus is very low risk but I occassionally have bleeding gums. At the time of potential exposure, or previous 48 hours or so, I dont remember having any bleeding gum problems. Also, the condom did not break during regular penetration, or anything.

How worried should I be of HIV? Do I just have the flu? Or should I get tested?

I hope it doesnt look like I am pestering.

I usually dont get sick. For Eg: I get a fever maybe once in 2 years or so. This time I have this mild fever, and it has now lasted exactly 7 days.


Given this, do you still recommend no testing?

You don't need testing, your symptoms don't have anything to do with HIV.

So you're saying if my current flulike symptoms clear up, I dont really need to get tested?

I might get tested just the same to put my mind at ease.

Thanks and Regards
