Worried Guy HIV Exposure
I had sex with a Brazilian prostitute I met at a club in Portugal. She seemed healthy although I know looks hardly decide anything for HIV. We had protected sex and condom did not break anytime during the sex. However there was some unprotected oral sex involved i.e. she performed it on me. Now 4 days later I am experiencing some swelling in my left cheek on my face and am not sure if my lymph node is swollen or not. Am I infected by HIV? I know I will have to take test after 3 months but just for consolation what do you think?
I would get checked out dude if you are having swelling, it could be. But it could be alot of things
You never had a risk and do not require any testing.Your penetrative vaginal sex was protected and oral sex is zero risk period.Your safe.Put this incident behind you and move along.Your symptoms have nothing to do with your encounter.
