Worried about risk
bi-curious guy here that has had multiple oral encounters, usually received unprotected but also had many mutual oral unprotected. Did anal multiple times also with use of condom (provided by guys I met up with). I removed condom each time when done and never appeared to be broken, sometimes a little stretched. Just wondering the risk?? Ocassional get night sweats and a sore on tongue/mouth, but also think it may be linked to drinking heavily the weekend prior....still freaks me out. Haven't experienced excessive fatigue just general from normal school/work stress. Lymph nodes might have been a little swollen and sore throat last week but nodes not really tender just thought I could feel them...am I freaking myself out here? Or do I have some concern?
As a general rule, sexually active people are advised to get screened once a year for all STDs. But none of the things you say have ever put you at risk for HIV. And if you continue this way ((correct and consistent use of condoms, and water-based lubricants for anal/vaginal intercourse)), you will probably never have an HIV concern.
