Freakin' - pre-cum and Thrush ??

I had a homosexual incident in mid December.   Long story short, I had some pre-*** on my tongue for about 10 seconds.  I think I spit it all out but not sure.  No ejaculation, no anal.   In Mid January I noticed a dry white tongue...  Sometimes a creamy coating with strange taste would be on it early in the mornings.   This has continued to varying degree till today.   I also have slight pain in my groin area...not sure if it's lymphs or testicals.   One night a week ago, I had fairly severe pain in my right testical that seemed to go down my right thigh.  Today, my throat is more raw and redish color.  The back of my tongue has white bumps - looks like swollen white taste buds to me. No larger cottage cheese looking growth like many thrush pictures.  I've also lost about 8 lbs.  Similar to many others on this website, my mind is getting the best of me.  Is it logical to think I could become infected with HIV with this one incident with pre-***?  Why would my mouth be messed up?   By researching thrush, it mentions the cause could be a compromised immune system....What else could it be besides HIV.   I know I need to get tested...just scared.  Let me know your thoughts Doc....thanks!

Hi there,

Basing from this account given, you are not in any risk for HIV.

Your symptoms are not HIV specific.

If you do wish to test, I recommend to go for a blood test at the 3rd month after exposure for a conclusive result.

I personally would not test for a 1 time incident like this.

I would suggest testing for STI, including HIV, for all sexually active people every 6 monthly or yearly.
