All the symptoms...

So lm bisexual.

Ive had from what l can remember only oral sex with men at a bath house in Toronto, lve had perhaps a cut on my gums where it seems a wisdom tooth is coming in and also sometimes may brush my teeth too hard, l can only remember having anal once and am beating myself up to remember if we slipped it in for a minute before getting condom on...sorry to ramble.
So lve had every real symptom of hiv to my understanding...lve had 2 blood tests and the second of which is 90 days after exposure but perhaps 100 days from exposure.
The whole blood tests were negative, however, lm still having symtoms like pain, lymph node pain, white tongue with white taste bumps, lump in throat and temperature changes daily, and more.

Now l know l should be happy with the results but lm worried l may be one of those rare people with one of those rare metabolic birth disorders but never known about, as through the times of perceived symptoms also had alot of nerve pain all over, burning muscles as well and lost muscle mass a bit in hands and elsewhere...this all occuring from Jan-april.

So if l had a metabolic disorder, would you be able to tell me what the chances are that my tests results were correct?

lm so depressed. Please help.

Or is it more likely that if l have an autoimmune disease that the blood test would at least say indeterminate?

If is not something we play around with because IF we do it leads to more and more "what if's".

Thanks, that does make me feel a bit better. But l did say l had anal sex once doesnt there and not sure if it was slipped in without a condom at first and if so would my results be accurate even if l may have a metabolic disorder or perhaps another disorder that may be present like even neuropathy, ms or some kind of atrophy?

Thanks, there are perhaps some complicating factors in my case and just try to find reasonable answers...sorry if l sound like a nut, lm scared.

You never had an exposure and you don't have to worry about antibodies or anything else to do with HIV.

"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow." Dr.Hook
HIV is not spread by oral sex, giving or receiving, even if sores, gum disease or blood is present

Thank you, Teak. As l had mentioned though, l believe l did. The metabolic thing may have me worried, also information read that if your body was fighting something else that hiv antibodies might not show in the results. If l were having what l believe were through and true symptoms would any factors ompede my results, lm affraid that l may ne a rare case but hope not.

So that understand your answer regarding oral sex, are you saying that even if l had sores, cuts on the gums or maybe even the tongue from brushing too hard that there is no way?

I really appreciate your Thought on these matters as l can imagine youve answered questions on these many times, thanks again.
