please advise

so I posted before and everyone said no risk french kissing, but alot of other sites say rare risk. I had all classic signs
Aug/Sep, 2 weeks after exposure. I started feeling better and then this month continued fatigue and extremely bad dry mouth that wont go away. Im going to get tested soon and was wondering why zero risk? IM 99 %sure this is what it is and am really scared.

Hey the risk is not small,its non existent. I was recommending the am I infected forum on poz. Symptoms you describe , most of it is in the mind. If you actually had ars fever it wud hav been the worst fever ever. Even if it was the case symptoms are no help in diagnosis. I understand your feelings . I went thru the same. But in d last week before testing I got pretty convinced that it was a no risk activity and thats how I mustered the courage to get tested.
There is nothing to worry. You dont need to screw 3 months of your life over this.

Ok, I hope so, but I had every symptom for a month. Started with headache and burning throat, not so much sore and sore groin and stiff neck. The following week add a red rash witch was symmetrical on both sides exactly with small red non itchy bumps, plus above symptoms. This was before I had any things about hiv. In September all went away. Since then I have been tired and have had severe dry mouth and that it. I never had a temp that I know of, but my temp is normally 97.9 and for a few weeks it was 98.6/8 which to my body is a small temp. I know the risk is small and try to tell myself noway, from what everyone says, but its very odd. I have red poz forum and the positive people have alot of the same issues I have had. I'm scared to test and if poz it was from french kissing a Thai massage girl. I never had sex and actually had a HIV tests June 19 and was negative. This episode happened 26 July. I think alot of folks don't actually know if they pass during kissing because they do other things too or they are on HAART. I know for a fact that if this girl had it she wasn't on hard, because in the country I was in you will be deported if poz. I never had dry mouth and it feels like toopast slobbered in my mouth.

I have been in your shoes. There is no risk as everybody at forum.poz , medhelp and various doctors say.
I am quite sure this will not bring down your anxiety. Since u hav already made ur mind to test, b4 that dont google stuff.if at all read posts on forum.poz and medhelp. There reasoning will help u with the anxiety. Trust them they know wat they talk abt. Relax U ARE 100% FINE. As per my discussions with several doctors and reading infinite articles on hiv transmission. Cuts , sores, ulcer , few drops of blood does NOT put one at risk. Saliva is uninfectious, saliva in both ur mouths kills hiv , mouths mucous membrane is not conducive for hiv latching.no one has ever been infected via kissing.

The body fluid that would have been involved is saliva which is not a fluid that transmits hiv , unless both parties had a cut or sore in their mouth which still poses as a low risk . Kissing cannot transmit hiv .
