as advised...you had NO risk.

if you've lost weight...you've eaten less than normal.  anxiety can cause someone's appetite to be decreased, resulting in weight loss.

You are not going to contract HIV from oral sex because saliva inhibits transmission.

I have been going to gym for the last 1 year in which I am unable to lose even a single pound. After getting blow job from a HIV positive girl, I am in real anxitey and I even stopped going to gym since then. In 20 days, I lost 6 pounds which is kind of strange.

6 pounds in 20 days means nothing--you have already been advised that you never had a risk.
