sacred to death

on the 19th of january i gave a guy unprotected oral sex (no ejaculation) and also recieved oral sex, after roughly 1week i developed a minor sore throat with slight pus near tonsils, pus in lower eyelid. Then between then and now swollen lymph nodes in neck and possibly in chest although i did keep on feeling around for them, also i have experienced nausea, waking up in slight sweats twice, pain in lower abdomen, pain in chest, stabbing pains around body and pins and needles especially in little finger of right hand, also experienced fatigue on and off i think caused by stress, i have one lymph node which is noticeably swollen in left side of neck only small but once again i keep on playing with it so i am probably stopping it from reducing in size, i tested two days short of seven weeks with a fingerprick hiv1/2 test which was negative but i am terrified to retest, i have got myself in a right state over this and even thought about ending it all, what are my chances of still been positive. . .

Risk of HIV with the incident you mentioned, is too negligible to suggest any kind of testing. Your 7 week test is enough for reassurance and it will not change whenever you decide to repeat. Move on

Though chances of HIV are almost non-existent, however I would suggest you to get yourself tested for other curable STD's, transmittable via unprotected oral sex.

Hi there,

For your incident, you need NOT test in the begining.  So a 7 weeks test is a good indication that you are not infected.

thank you for your quick response i have been told by the nurse at the hospital to get on with my life i havent got hiv, and initially by the guy at the testing centre, but then when i called him back up just to make sure i was clear he started backpedalling with what he initialy said and started stating the 3month window period and said he thought i said 11 weeks instead of 7 which must have been rubbish as i also gave him the date of exposure which was obviously not 11 weeks i had sang another branch of vid testing centre so i am wondering if they may have called him and told him not to tell people they are ok before the window period is up incase they turn out positive later

Hi there,

Basing from this account given, you are not in any risk for HIV infection.

Further testing for this incident itself is not required.

Your 7 weeks after exposure test resuly is very encouraging. If you are still worried about the contact that you had, you can conduct a test at 12 weeks from exposure to allay your fears. The result is not going to change.

However, I would suggest testing for STIs, including HIV, for all sexually active people yearly.
