scared
I went to asain massage parlor in Houston five weeks ago yesterday. I had protected oral and vaginal sex with with masseuse. At week one I had lump in throat and I had diarrhea. Week two it felt like coming down with cold and diarrhea. Week 4 sore throat , bad headache. Fatigueand dripping in back of throat. I entered symptoms on google HIV popped up. I am racked with anxiety. Condom didn't break. Had missionary for about 5 minutes. When withdrew condom intact. I'm worried sick have wife and also donated blood at blood drive last week. Am I at risk. Took oraquick advance finger prick and oral yesterday at five weeks both negative. Help me please answer.
The blood center just called to pick up donor card and scheduled a plasma draw for December. Theyyested for HIV using Nat and sis at 32 days post. I know everyone says I didn't have exposure but if I had these tests together at that time are conclusive. This will be last question.
I appreciate everybody's feedback. I'm scared, I have never informed myself about HIV I am ignorant .
You can't get infected that way.
HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.
HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug abusers

She took condom off with towel could she infect me that way but accidentally touching my penis that way
She took condom off with towel could she infect me that way but getting vaginal fluids from towel on to my penis.
Thank you. I know I made a mistake but they made it seem like now I could regret it for the rest of my life. I'm trying to calm down but I'm freaked out, they even told me my symptoms sounded like they could be ars, so hence need to test further. I haven't slept in three days.
That hotline is full of s#it,you had protected sex & therefore have nothing to worry about.Don't call HIV hotlines again because most of them have people on there that don't know what the hell they are talking about.
The hotline was obviously wrong! You had PROTECTED sex which is exactly how you avoid HIV. There is nothing you can say that will change that fact so quit freaking out over nothing.
