Mouth ulcer

Hi,

Just looking for some guidance.. I had unprotected anal sex with a girl only for about 15-20 seconds....then realised i was being unsafe and put on condom.

afterwards, when i got home... i noticed i had a tiny abrasion on my penis, and have been freaked out ever since.

Would it be possible for HIV to transmit in such a short space of time, would the cut have to be deep for that to have occurred? also it would have had to have touched with her blood for it to transmit? The cut may have occured during the condom putting on/pulling off phase, i am not sure...

3 weeks on i have a mouth ulcer, and am freaking out a little....no other ars sides, just a mouth ulcer...  would it be possible that this could be an only side affect or would it be accompanied by other however i know sometimes there is no sides at all...

any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Do not go off of symptoms. I had a scare from not ever being at risk and convinced myself I had been exposed. My "symptoms" were candida, rash, blood spots, headaches, sweating, fever, nausea, mouth ulcers, vomiting, and fatigue, and guess what? No HIV

i do, but ...i thought this site was somewhere we could come to ask questions we are unsure of.. I understand you are very knowledgeable teak, which is great as you have helped many ppl on here im sure.... I dont think i am asking such a stupid question, so is that right?

also would a mouth ulcer only be linked to ars?

Cheers.

You're saying you don't know how HIV is transmitted and the disease has been around for almost 30 years?

You had unprotected sex and put yourself at risk. The only way you will know your status is by testing.

Your risk is much lesser than someone who would have engaged in a longer period of unprotected sex.
You had a risk and a test will give you the answer. 3 months seems to be the standard.

Chances are you were not infected but get tested just to be certain. If you choose to get tested, get one at 6 weeks and then one at 3 months.

but i had unprotected anal sex for about 20 seconds with her... i pulled out after 20 seconds than put condom... is it possible that blood could have gone down the uretha in that short time?

so the cut is completely out of the equation? there is no risk there?
