afraid of HIV infection

[psutom]

I am 23 years old, gay.

Always had oral sex with condom, only oral, no others. Had oral sex without condom on Nov.22. Afraid of being infected of HIV.

Tested on Dec.1, and it showed negative.

Felt uncomfortable behind my left ear. A small thing is there, I am not sure it is an enlarged lymph or not.

Is it a symptom of HIV infected? No fever, no other symptom.

Thank you, I appropriate, a rapid test can be carried out though  a swap from the mouth or the from a pinch of blood taken from the finger. I actually wasn't aware that urine could be used in such a test, many thanks

HIV tests can be oral or done with urine not just blood.

Please buddy if an uncomfortable feeling behind your left ear was a way to determine your HIV status there would be no need for antibody blood tests.

HIV cannot be diagnosed through the amount or lack of symptoms you may or may not have. Nor can it be diagnosed through self examination. It can only be diagnosed one way, through a blood test. Given you absolute zero risk exposure, any test you may wish to take now or in the further will be negative.

unprotected oral sex, giving or recieving does not carry a risk for hiv infection. You can test now for an accurate hiv test, and i expect it to be negative. But for future reference discuss status BEFORE, as well as be aware of STD's.

ORAL SEX = NO HIV RISK

You have no HIV worries

Hope this helps
