Possible std infection?

[Tyrantrave]

Hey there, About seventeen days ago I engaged in low risk behaviour, performing and recieving oral fro another man. Earlier that day my throat was beginning to become sore, but after that encounter y throat has been sore for the past seventeen days and I've had some pain in my knee as well as swelling in the muscle near the webbing between my thumb and index finger. I've been tested for a whole range of stds, but nothing has come back positive yet. I was wondering if this could be possible signs of acute hiv infection or a sign of soething else, such as anxiety about the act?

I'm trying my best to, but there's always that worry that I've messed up and I can be putting others at risk because of my own failings, mistakes, and vulnerabilities, y'know?

I don't think you require mental help.I think you just need to accept the fact that you had no risk.

[Tyrantrave]

Well,thanis for that, Rain. You've helped set my mind at ease for now. Now I worry if it's my mind or something else causing this. Time for mental help?

[RainLover71]

Yes, for real.Symptoms don't really mean much.You had no risk and you won't infect your partner because you have no virus.

For real? I've read all over that it could and these symptoms are driving me up the walk. What's more, I'm involved with someone now and I'm worried about possibly hurting them or losing them.

Oral sex does not transmit HIV.

A bit of an update. My doctor has ruled out strep throat. He thinks it may be mono or something along those lines. My concern is that it my be acute retroviral, since the lymph nodes in my groin have also started flaring up.
