Oral Sex

I gave unprotected oral sex one year ago, at the time, i also had mono. I don't know the guy's status. I recovered from my mono by last november. Then, suddenly, in early january I woke up feeling extremely fatigued and it has not gone away since. I have a few other symptoms once in awhile like nausea, headaches, and severe depression. I got tested for hiv 4 1/2 month after the oral sex. My doctor called me over the phone and told me it was negative, but I never actually saw the results. I am so scared that I might have HIV. SHould I get tested again?

You didn't have a risk so your symptoms don't have anything to do with HIV.

Well I went to an infectious disease doctor today to talk about my persistent fatigue that just won't go away. She insisted that I get tested for hiv, but maybe that's just a standard test when you go to an ID doctor. Could I be having symptoms of HIV this early? I know it's probably just chronic fatigue syndrome or something but it bothers me that she is making me get tested, she made it seem like there was a possibility i had hiv

You didn't have a risk to begin with and your negative test is conclusive.

  you think that your doctor is lying? for what you went to visit him?
You are OK? 4 1/2 months is like phoenix said it is beyond the window period.
You don't need a doctor to tell you that you are ok because you are ok.

If you tested negative with the Anti-Body test at 4 1/2 months, you are fine.  It is beyond the 3 month window.  I wouldn't worry.
