Aa
afraid of symptoms
Hi guys,
I'm a straight male, 24yo.
I've been a guy that stick to hygiene. But last year, I gave my first sex to a "friend" from Internet. She said she's my schoolmate but later I found she's not. Another guy told me that she had had sex with many guys.
I used a condom from her during vaginal sex but the condom didn't seem sound. Later I found the condom was overdue..... Also I received oral sex without protection....
I have had jock itch since 2 months ago which tortures me a lot.. I saw the doctor and tried many ointment but it doesn't work. I read something about opportunistic infections from the net and think my jock itch is very similar to its features.
What should I do?

So, all I mentioned still has nothing to do with HIV because I never had a chance of catching it? Is it all of you knowledgeable helpers' conclusion?
have no clue...this is not a diagnostic forum.
if you are having health concerns, continue to work with your dr to find the cause...it's NOT hiv.

I want to not consider HIV but my symptoms just couldn't let me get rid of it.
I have a series of dental problems recently. My ulcers on my lips have lasted for 2 weeks, and part of my lips and tongue get swollen and red. Plus, my teeth on the left side are sore when I brush them. And my lymph swollen and sometimes aches.
As the dr said, all my symptoms point to a weak immune system. These year I've been experiencing many many symptoms that I seldom experienced before. They just come one by one or together.
If I am completely free from HIV, what could it be?

So even if I still go to the massage parlors and receive hadjobs only(sometimes maybe with scratches on my limbs/genital), I never have a risk of HIV?
hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child
hiv is NOT transmitted through receiving a hand job

Many thanks, LIZZIE.
I have another concern about HIV. I find a job and my boss often asks me to accompany our business partners to have massage in local massage parlors. The parlors are legal and their most dangerous thing I think is handjobs(the massage girls never take off underwear or have sex with their guests). I received hand jobs from time to time. Is my behavior playing fire and one day I may be punished and get burned?

you dont have to pour water in a condom to see if it leaks.
condom failure is catastrophic. it basically shreds, exposing your penis.

I really appreciate your reply!
But how to tell if a condom failed or not? I forgot to check if my condom had leaked by pouring water into it and see if some water went out through its tip..

being expired weakens the integrity of the condom and can cause it to fail...BUT yours didn't.
you are NOT experiencing opportunistic infections...you had NO risk

but as I mentioned, the condom was overdue, so I don't know if it's intact when I used it. If it's not, am I at risk of catching HIV?
