Infected with an NSU noow i'm paranoid about HIV

[simon1482]

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice. I've been a complete idiot and now i'm worried sick that I have HIV.

Just under 2 weeks ago I had protected sex with a sex worker (condom didn't rip) and and unprotected oral. I started to have a few symptoms of an NSU /NGU 5 days later and got diagnosed with an NSU/NGU. I have had a few other symptoms since such as swelling of the gums (no ulcers) and tingling feet, I don't have a cough, sore throat, chest pains or rash but but the anxiety is killing me. I will be getting tested for the 14 days after exposure tomorrow. Can anyone please offer me some advice?

Thanks

Thanks guys, you've made me feel a bit better. I think googling symptoms is the worst possible thing anyone can do as it tells you the worst possible scenario plus there are websites out there that say you can catch HIV from unprotected oral sex so It really Sh!t me up

Let me rephrase that one: If your condom did not break, it's IMPOSSIBLE that you got infected with HIV.

Getting infected with STDs does not automatically mean that you're also infected with HIV. In fact, STDs are transmitted a lot more easily than HIV, which requires a nearly perfect condition to be able to infect. If your condom did not break, it's highly unlikely that you got infected with HIV.

Oral sex is not a risk for HIV.
