Worried about HIV, Please help after knowing my situation
Hi everyone, these days i m going through hell. i always think i hav got hiv. 2 years back i had sex with one aunty, i used condom but while removing condom some fluids and her blood touched my penis. and i have been meeting some gay. I had oral sex with them, never anal, but never anal. i used to ejaculate in their mouth. Its been 2 year i left everything but now i m extremely worried as i feel fever and chills sometimes. Plz help and guide me. Should i get tested ?? but what will happen if i found positive. i m totally worried
You had no risk so testing would be a waste of time.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make your encounter a risk for HIV. No one got HIV from the situation you encountered in 40 years and likely no one will in the next 40 of your life, so there in no more likelihood of HIV transmission happening than of you getting hit by a meteor as you read this.
You claim that you "feel a fever". The correct way to tell if you have a fever is to take your temperature and if it is high you have a fever, but if not then likely it is just in your imagination from fear.
