night sweats

Hi

I've had three nights of night sweats and have had a fever and sore throat. I had an encounter with a bit of oral with a guy and he gave me unprotected oral for a few seconds and I did the same to him after he had ejaculated.

The online sites say if you have night sweats its a symptom of HIV.

Is this always true??

your night sweats are not hiv related.  as you were told in your first post here...oral sex does not transmit hiv.

Everybody can have niight sweats, not only HIV infected individuals. Oral is not a risk for infection.
