Aa
think i'm infected
in june last year i had unprotected oral (briefly received and gave) and protected vaginal. This was with a csw in Myanmar, a country with a high hiv rate, especially in csw. I didn't know that at the time, but anyway, i might have rubbed lube onto her vagina before wearing the condom, so i could have transferred some vaginal fluid that way. Whilst having the vaginal sex i was struggling to cum, as i was somewhat drunk and she suggested i remove the condom and continue bareback. No way was i going to do that, in fact that disturbed me. What i did do as far as i can remember was removevthe condom and masturbate over her breasts.
A couple of weeks later i had developed a sore throat with pus at the tonsils and a high fever. Antibiotics were administered and i was better after a dsy or so. This didn't strike me as ARS at the time as there was a sore throat going around the office st the time. In fact, i totally put it out of my mind until 3 months ago when i developed chronic rhinosinusitis which has persisted to now. I' ve been seriously worried and sleepless, as i had sex with my wife unprotected after the sore throat invident. She had a patch of dry skin on her head causing dandruff which made me think was a sign of hiv, plus i know am developing new pigmented patches on my torso which are freaking me out - it's like kaposi sarcoma - appearing overnight. So now it looks serious and i will have to go for a test. My last test was nov 2012...what do you think of my chances? My poor wife...
