hiv docs can't diagnose from symptoms so you should stop trying because it is just wasting your time. What was your risk, oral, anal or vaginal and did you use protection?

Oral sex and after 9 days : sore throat, rashes on face, night sweats. The following days were fungus on foreskin, tight foreskin, dry skin on face like dandruff,pelvic pain following with pain in foot associated with Peripheral Neuropathy. Loss 3 kgs in one 2 weeks. When having bj, the boy cut my foreskin with his teeth accidentally, continue and ejagulate in mouth. Now vibrations in the body when moving.

UNPROTECTED oral sex
Oral is not a risk for hiv, so it is good that you posted your question here, so you don't waste any more time. Only sex risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal.

See doc so he can diagnose you. It is possible that some of those symptoms are the result of fear of a disease (that you don't have, namely hiv) but only doc can figure out if you have any problem.
Did a FBC test and lymphocytes are 24.10 ( Range 20% - 40 %). This is stressing me a lot :(

and what about the cut and if ever the boy was positive?


and we do a frottage also. What if his precum entered my urethra?
The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

NOTHING else you can think of, including this event, would put you at risk for HIV.  The only way to acquire HIV, sexually, is to put an unprotected penis inside a vagina or anus.
@curfewX Thank you for the information. Maybe my symptoms are indicating another thing or disease.

@Anxiousnomore Thanks too
just to have peace of mind, can anyone comment on the lymphocytes level plz? Last year it was at maybe 31 and now its 24.10
Talk to your doctor about your blood test.  This forum is only for questions about HIV, and you did NOT get HIV from your no-risk event, so your lymphocyte level, and any symptoms you are having have nothing to do with HIV.
Hello CurfewX,

As you told me, I've consulted a doctor yesterday and he told me that all the symptoms are directly related to HIV, especially the fungus and the peripheral neuropathy pain. He requested a pcr HIV test and ELISA test. What do you think please? Im very stressed when he announced me that.

For info : id never had anal and vaginal sex. I had a bj only 2 times in my life. Please can you clarify :( ?
He also mentioned that people with HIV and peripheral neuropathy had vibrations in the body as i am having right now. In the last week i had blood blisters in mouth and a gastroparesis. Yellow drool on pillow when waking up.
You need to find a new doctor.  They don't know what they are talking about.  You had no risk for HIV and your symptoms are not related to it. That's the only answer you will get from this moderated forum guided by HIV experts.  NO one has gotten hiv from oral sex and you aren't going to be the first.  So, again, you're 'doctor' has given you bad advice. Perhaps you were so nervous and over the top with anxiety he gave into you and said test but I can't think of a single doctor that would think yellow drool, etc. is a sign of hiv. Good luck but you really need a new doctor.    
Dear GuitarRox,

As you have told me, I've requested for another doctor at the clinic. He examined me and found very small watery blisters on my body and splinter hemorrhage on one nail. He then said that taking into consideration the fact that i had unprotected oral sex 41 days ago and having all the symptoms after that, he is wondering of a STD. But a full test have been done and all were negative. I was still having the peripheral neuropathy issues ( foot in right foot, numbing, pain radiate to hands, palm). Then he examined my penis and saw the dry skin on the foreskin. He tried to pull back the foreskin but it was still tight. He said this is strange but all these symptoms( rashes on face appeared 10 days after exposure, sore throat, night sweat and chills,peripheral neuropathy,blood blisters,fungus on foreskin,splinter hemorrhage on nails) are pointing directly to a HIV infection. He told me that I will have to repeat the test at 8 weeks ( 4 weeks (pcr hiv 1 test & ELISA) and 6 weeks (ELISA) not detected and NEGATIVE)

These doctors are driving me crazy! and the symptoms are killing me! WHICH IS WHICH!
You need to see a new doctor.  No one, in the 40+ year history of HIV has ever been infected from receiving oral sex.  If your doctor does not know that, your doctor is not very educated about HIV.

IF you had had a risk (you did not), and you were having symptoms, your previous HIV tests would have been positive.
