Sorry, just pretty worried about the slip off. Can I ask if touching the blood is no risk? Ive had a sore throat for about 2 months now and seems kinda crazy since I never have had that before. Ive been traveling every week around the us through airplanes etc so just feel weathered.  I will keep it posted.! Pray for me! Im going in soon

Have you really been reading what you were told? You never had a risk. Why would we talk about symptoms?

Well I had protected sex with a hiv guy a while back... like june. The condom slipped off and was sticking out of him when I pulled out. I also fingered him a lil after and noticed slight blood on my finger. I bite my nails so they were kinda short (???)... . about 1-2 weeks later i had a sore throat after the cholrine thing and I spited out blood. Had a stuff nose for as long as that also. Could the yellow tongue be from the amoxicilin or other antibiotics? it was one white spot on the thing that hangs down (tonsil?) on the right side of it. I go home in a few days but wanted somthing to ease my mind before I went and tested. its been weeks/months that ive had a on and off sore throat. Doesnt hurt when eating etc just somtimes notices it. stuffy nose aswell. and then yellow tongue... I

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

you NEVER had a risk and do not need testing.  any "symptoms" you are experiencing are not hiv related.

if you are having health concerns...see your doctor...it's not a concern of this forum since you did not have a hiv exposure.

I also notice a yellow tongue in the morning that goes away after I wipe it off with a towel, Im not sure if its because of drinking say tomato juice before bed... Dont notice swollen nodes or loose of weight. The sore throat kinda is gone and when I smoke it will come back. I dont know when I will be able to test.... :( Maybe not for another 3 weeks... How fast does someone get the yellow tongue?

Well I had sex and the condom slipped when pulling out a while back and had blood on the condom. A few weeks later is when My job situation with the chlorine being high and I spitted out blood that night. A few days after that I noticed a sore throat... Doctors gave me amoxicilin, and after that dose I went back and they did a xray and said bronchitis gave me meds for that and the sore throat went away with meds but after the meds.. it came back. I dont feel the sore throat but if I smoke I feel like it would come back. I check my temp now adays and dont notice a fever... I know I just need to get tested but im in canada and im american. Anyone know how that works?

You can't get HIV from oral sex- period. It just doesn't happen. Your symptoms are NOT indicative of HIV because you didn't get it from oral sex. As long as vaginal/anal sex was protected with a condom, then you were never at risk.

they will tell you and ask for permission before testing you for hiv..go see a doctor fr the tingling sensation..not due to hiv

What about the tingly? I had a blood test for the sore throat and they said it wasnt strep or whatever other throat test they do... After the results I asked about if it was hiv and they said it didnt look like hiv... Would they of tested it for hiv? I figured that you would have to ask for a hiv test... I dont have a regular doctor and I travel alot

Ok another question, Sorry im going to canada tomorrow and dont know when I can test

My legs going to sleep and tingly, Lips went tingly the other day, Sore throat for a month even after amoxicillin and bronchitis meds, No fever or lost weight,

I read that oral is a low risk... I guess its a high risk if you've got a sore throat and you swallowed it?
