Hi everybody. Guilt ridden and worried

I guys I really appreciate what this site provides and it already has brought me some comfort. However I am really scared still. I  received unprotected oral sex. ( I know what your gonna say teak, but please read on. ) It was from a male, started as masturbation with his spit as lube, he then sucked me for a very brief period of time and then finished up with his hand. Almost 2 weeks later to the day I started to feel this really weird sickly pain in my neck. It worsened over a couple days as it bread over my entire neck and shoulders blades. It appeared to trigger swollen gland feeling in my throat and an excrustiated pressure headache. These three symptoms have literally not subsided for 2 1/2 months now. Everyday, every second. I tried not to worry about them and tried to mind over matter these ailments but there is simpley something going on. Also over this same period I have started to get sores? Theres like 8 of them. Red bump on each leg ( symmetrical ) no pus or pain. One under each man boob ( im fat, lol ) and a couple on the back of my neck. I also started getting cancker sores and dry peeling lips. Diarrhea, stomach ache and heart burn. Im not making this up. Its not in my head. I havent went for a test because it hasnt been three months and i know ill second guess the reult if its negative. Please don't one word answer me. I could really use some support and advise.
Thanks

Mike

I wouldn,t consider a few individual bumps a rash and also an ARS rash would also cover other parts of the body.People may claim to have aquired Hiv via oral sex but that,s all they are just claims and nothing substantiated.If it were me in your shoes i would feel extremely safe that i did not aquire hiv.All the best.

YES...you are having physical symptoms.  what most ppl dont understand is that anxiety can cause very real physical symptoms.  anxiety will cause you to see things on your body...NORMAL things that have been there forever...but now they are basically under the microscope.  anxiety can cause you to keep your body in a tensed up state, which in turn causes muscle aches.

and the list goes on...

what you need to understand is that you are NOT suffering from ars symptoms WITHOUT having been exposed and infected.  this did not happen ! ! ! !

Thanks my friend. It does help. 2 more questions and then no more. Could individual bumps ( which are on torso and limps ) be considered a "rash" or do they mean like more rashy?(lol) I guess my only concern is I keep reading that there have been no cases recorded but there have been some claimed. And of course you can't help but think? Well those people that claimed they got it from oral sex sure seem to think you can. you know what I mean?
Thanks again, its just nice to talk to someone.

Ok,To begin with you had no risk from the oral sex because several studies prove that oral sex is zero risk for hiv transmission,so you are safe there.ARS symptoms if one were to experience them would appear 2 to 4 weeks after infection and last from 4 days to 2 weeks.They are very high fever,very sore throat and rash on trunk--torso and limbs that does not itch.They don,t come and go.I hope this information has helped you to relax and put this incident behind you.Saliva is not infectious.
