this is what has happened

-i recently recieved oral sex from sex worker in shanghai and am really paranoid and scared i have got something. i notice small cut on my penis afterwards and am terrified. day after i feel slighty burning sensation n hands then nothing for a few weeks maybe slighty sore glands n neck and my hands appear to be slightly speckled though im unsure if these symptoms are due to anxiety and other symptoms just due to climatising to the heat here. 3 weeks on i am very scared. i don't know what to do being in a foreign country

i now notice a small blister on my arm few weeks ago

now i am struck with bad cold/flu but my temp is not higher than 37 degrees celcius

i have some sore on my cheek..maybe canker sore?

i have been stressing very much..can this be stress caused? and symptoms all coincidence?

everytime i tell myself i am ok and that i don't have anything a new symptom seems to show itself and worrying me much



oh and have had mild muscle aches with short sharp disapearing pains sometimes. this

Oral sex, even with small cuts on the penis, is not a risk. HIV cannot be transmitted outside of its host. Your "symptoms" mean nothing in regards to HIV because there is no way you could have gotten it from this scenario.

Stress can most DEFINITELY be causing all of your symptoms you are experiencing. When you are so anxious and worried, it takes a physical toll on your body.

Please do not worry any longer. You had NO risk. You're fine. :) Relax and get some sleep!
