Dear Teak,
I am 32 yrs male,married with one 2 yrs old daughter.I need to travel a lot for my job purpose.Nearly 18 months ago I had a sexual encounter with a Russian sex worker in Dubai,UAE during intercourse the condom broke and I stopped almost immediately.The total time without condom was not more than a minute and I didnt ejaculate as well.I panicked and washed my penis carefully after that. I monitored my health very carefully since then and did not develop any sort of STD/physical illness within next 6 months. Presently I am having fever with low temp (99 deg F) and muscle ache for last 4 days. The highest temp monitored is 100.4 deg F.There is no other physical illness/symptoms.I never had any swollen lymph nodes/ night sweat/cough/mouth sores.
Can you please tell me what is the general fever symptom for HIV,meaning how much body temp is generally noticed from HIV patients? When I should be worried about the fever and get the test done? How much chances are there to get HIV infection by the exposure I had? How much chances are there to get HIV infection by unprotected oral sex?
Thank you in advance and will be waiting for your kind advice.

if you tested and it was 18 months ago, you are HIV negative. whatever symptoms you have its not about HIV anymore. See a doctor for your concerns.
