Testing Question - Unprotected Oral + Protected Vag

[juicypinkkk]

Hi,

I posted last week about an encounter I had where the day before I had a scrape on my knee (was bleeding the day before, was like a cut from a sharp objct). I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal. I just got tested with rapid testing today and it was negative. I was wondering, do you suggest I come back at the three month mark based on my theoretical risk?  My concern is with the vaginal fluids getting into any cuts I had on my body (specifically, the cut on knee, which was kind of scabbing but half still open on the day).

See a doctor if you are concerned it has nothing to do with HIV.

Thank you Teak for the reply. The timing for the symptoms is just right What else could explain my symptoms which havent disappeared yet ?

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Hi! I have a dear friend of mine who is HIV+, about  2 months ago i was at her place and i noticed she had white patches on her face(it looked like very dry skin), so i said to her you have some white patches on your face. She ran to the bathroom mirrior to see what i was talking about. i followed her to the batroom where we were standing very close to eachother, face to face(very small bathroom). As she was talking to me i felt some of her spit landed on my lip, it must've got inside my mouth too as my mouth was open. You see my friend and i both have peridontal gum disease(we both have bleeding gum). Long story short a month after that incident i got a lot of HIV symptoms such as goosebump like rash on my arms that itched, black,brown and red spots on my body, flu like symptoms, sore throat, sore/white lesions inside mouth, night sweats, chills, hot flashs, fever, diareah, heavy feeling in my chest, tight/lump feeling in my throat, swollen glands on neck and armpits,sensation of something crawling on my skin, and sleeplessness... To make the matter worse my friend sow my goosebump like rash and the brown/black spots and said they look like the ones she had also she said she experiences the same crawling sensation and sleeplessness. I had the fever for more than a week. Most of the symptoms including the rash and brown spots havent disappeared yet and its been a month and  half. I am just so terrified i dont know what to do i am losing my mind right now and i am so scared to go to my doctor. Could i have got hiv do to the fact that we both had gum disease and that her saliva had blood?? please help me . thank you in advance!
