hiv concern
concerned over a possible exposure I had 4.5 weeks ago. enganged in brief oral sex with another man who said that he hiv negative. thing there was exposure to precum. two weeks after the encounter I had nausea and diarrhea. 3 weeks later started with a sore throat ans swollen gland on left side of neck. sore throat has not been constant it comes and goes.
I am completely freaked and went to get a rapid test at 3.5 weeks which was negative. nausea and diarrhea continue off and on. have also had small ulcers that have healed in days. because the symptoms have continued I went back and had another rapid test at 4.5 weeks which came back negative again. I am now having hot flashes with sweats....I am really concerned.

hiv is not transmitted through oral sex...you had NO risk and can get off the testing merry-go-round. further testing is not needed.
I keep telling myself that but this seems too real. I keep seeing quotes from the doctors here saying that 90% will test positive in 4 weeks. but I am so scared ...
