my situation

hi all,

had unprotected blow job and protected vaginal sex with a female sex worker. i had all the symptoms going. i.e- sore throat, fever, sickness, daiheria that lasted 10 days, flu/cold, night sweats and bad shortness of breath for a day. Haven't felt any swollen nodes and no fatigue though. had a hiv and std test at 34 days ( nearly 5 weeks) after this event and they came back negative.

do they sound like typical ARS symptoms? was i at high risk? is a 34 day negative a good indicator?

thanks

Lizzie is right, i should of read the note more carefully, i thought it read unprotected vaginal sex.since it was protected you are not at risk, and no one ever got hiv from getting a blow job. but you should be screened for othe std every year if you are sexually active but hiv is not your problem.

symptoms dont matter, lots of people have no symptoms and its flu season. 34 days neg is good, go back and 3 months and collect your negative conclusive test
