Still suffering from possible symptoms HELP

Hi guys just an update , as you can see from my previous threads I had protected vagunal sex 5 weeks ago with African csw in Uk . Condom did not break but I was at the time suffering from nsu and asymtomatic genital herpes but my main concern was there was a bit of baby oil on my penis from handjob at the start . Anyhow had fantastic replys from teak and lizzie Lou and other members saying that I was at no risk but very worried about my symptoms which go as follows . 14 days start of sore throat which is still present at 5 weeks post exposure , headaches started at 21 days and come and go daily , sore armpits started with headaches and also had a very painful glan under the jaw , have post nasal drip but no congestion in nose or chest,. No rash or  fever ever been present . What made me worry more was that 2 weeks after I had unprotected sex with my Gf she came down with a fever for 24 hours and sore throat that lasted 3 days . I suffer from anxiety and am on meds but I just find it strange how these symptoms came within the 2-4 weeks ars window period and then my gf also having the short illness exactly 2 weeks after sex . Could all just be coincidence but any info would be much appreciated as I am slowly going mad worrying about it till I can test at 3 months.

He did that to protect himself from any legal liability.

But tests have proven such acts to be of no HIV risk.

Tests aren't warranted.

Thankyou Sandra , just worrying when you have such symptoms so close to having a risk even if it is a low risk situation.

protected vaginal sex = protection from hiv

simple


so no risk, however, there are risks for other stds, and for those questions to be answered refer to the std board, honestly relax and stop self-diagnosing
