please help
i went to thailand recently on a holiday on the 1 st of this month... had sex with 3 different prostitutes during the stay..i used condoms in all the sexual acts..but there was this one time where the hooker gave a blowjob for about a minute without a condom.maybe 5-8 strokes .i had passionate lip kisses with 2 of them , didnot use tongue though.after i came back to my country i had a party about 2 days back where i had a lot to drink..the next day i got sore throat,difficulty in swallowing,light fever ,a little sweat,headache. then i googled and found similar symptoms of hiv..is there a possibilty that i might have hiv???could anyone be kind enough to please respond.i have taken all the precautions..except for that blowjob that she had given without a condom.please help!

thank you somuch lizzie lou...i really appreciate ur service ..god bless you .bye!
yes i did...but im just paranoid if what the condom tore during the act cause of the symptoms i have..
and a hypothetical question--what is the probablity that i could get hiv if the condom was torn or if u had sex for less than 10 minutes without a condom..
so r u suggesting that i might have had all these symptoms because of my binge drinking in the club?i have an uncut penis...phimosis is the technical term for that where i cannot pull the foreskin back..does it put me in a safer spot?
FROM THE HIV EXPERTS HERE AT MEDHELP:
"As you know from other posts about oral sex, our stance is that giving or receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV. Some others suggest that there is an appreciable risk of HIV from oral sex however, there are no convincing scientific reports which support these statements. The presence of a burn in your mouth, or a sore, or ingestion of blood does not change this. Still no risk an no reason for testing." DR HOOK
"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow" DR HOOK
There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANDSFIELD
"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANDSFIELD
"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort). DR. HOOK
"With regard to the question you ask, I will repeat, as I’ve said more times than I can think- there are NO credible cases in which persons have acquired HIV through performance of oral sex- none!!. The chance that you will be the first is ridiculously low. You are more likely to be hit by lightening while reading my reply to you. DR HOOK
