Kissing after using toothpicks
May I kindly request your evaluated opinion on my situation. I recently engage in a french kissing with an HIV positive lady for days. The kiss was really deep and I remember inserting my tongue into her mouth and her's into my mouth. She told me that she's positive after days of kissing. During the kiss I do not recall tasting blood from her mouth. I'm just stressed and continuously ask myself "what if blood was present but I just did not taste it. I recently contact her and asked her what medication is she taking for this virus and she told me that she's only taking vitamins and other medication but NOT ARV's. She also told me that she just checked her VIRAL LOAD and she was told it's very low and her CD4-count is still high.
I'm so stressed and so scared. About 3 weeks ago I've been feeling weak and my body was very itchy for days. I would have a mild headache, Diarrhea, night sweat as well muscle pain. My feet and hand become numb during the middle of the night.
Do you think I've contracted the virus from repeatedly french kissing her and whether do I need an HIV test?
Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you Teak, Let me start to believe that I did not have an exposure then everything will be fine. Many thanks.
Hi. on the 27th of Dec I got myself tested and the result were negative. That was 45 days from the exposure. Do you think this is conclusive or I really need to go back after 12 weeks. Eish, my back is burning and today I saw a block spot on my body that's looks as if I've been burned by fire of boiling water. I'm so scared, for really!

Vance2335, its so hard to convince myself that Im was not exposed in the first place due to how I'm feeling at the moment. you see if i was ok then one would say I'm being paranoid. No matter how hard I try to keep myself calm I'll see these symptoms.
Another thing I did not mention is that "on the last day we kissed, 12 Nov 2013, I went to the bathroom to spit and rinse my mouth and as I do that I noted that my saliva was mixed with blood. That actually told me that I had a bleeding gum during the kiss. Does this increase the chances/risks?

Hi Teak, I forgot to mentioned that after kissing this lady I went to see the Doctor who prescribed medication call ATRIPLA. I took this medication only for 2 nights. I'm not feeling well at all hey!
Nothing more to tell you, seek a therapist to help you with anxiety over a non risk issue.
I really appreciate your help Teak, but at the moment I'm so scared. I must say that I'm no longer feeling weak and the numbness of my feet is also gone. However, what is of concern to me is the peeling skin on my forehead and diarrhea. I sometimes feel blood run in my vain. It's not been 5 weeks after I kissed this lady. I really blame myself for messing around with her. What if I'm infected, what am I going to tell my girlfriend. Eish, what was I doing!!!!!!
Teak we also kissed after we both used toothpicks. I've never felt the way I'm feeling at the moment. My muscles and vain moves and jump (I just don't know how to explain this). I guess this is the end of the road for me.

We can't help you on this forum. You never had an exposure and asking the same questions over and over isn't going to change our answers.
There is a day wereto be I kissed this lady after we used toothpicks. Do you think that pose a risk to me? Do you honestly think i need be tested.
Hi Teak
Sorry I know I've this question before. The thing is I'm panicking so much, I can't even sleep peacefully at night.
