Risk with Symptoms

Exactly four weeks before coming down rapidly with a high fever 103+ for four days with immediate loss of appetite and significant weight loss I had unprotected oral (penetrator) male with male in a sauna in NYC. Other symptom was a short lived cough and no phlegm. The whole episode lasted about 8 days. I am fine now but so worried.

You had ZERO risk for HIV, move on.  Many things can cause testicular pain.  HIV, by the way, usually does not.

An exposure to HIV does not mean automatic infection.  Wether you have had symptoms related or unrelated.  Get tested for piece of mind.

Hi there,

Ypur symptoms are not ARS specific.

The fact is, receiving a "blow jobs," is not an efficient route of HIV transmission . There has never been any documented case.
