Do I have a risk?

[Justwondering40]

So I come here very anxious. 3 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex with a Man I met online. We sucked each other and kissed. He rimmed and fingered me for a few seconds. He also rubbed the tip of his penis against by anus. It stopped there. We both released on his chest. I am terrified that I have contracted hiv. I know bite the dry skin off my lips before I met him because I was nervous. Can it enter there?

I check my lymph nodes every hour almost. I am convinced my armpits are swollen. My throat has hurt for 3 weeks. I think this is from heightened acid reflux from anxiety. My muscles are tense, but they go back to normal if I calm down.

He has assured me he is negative several times. I just keep convincing myself he is lying. Do I have anything to worry about?

How come to the doctors in the expert forum state the risk as VERY LOW and not zero like you all?

You're "what iffing" yourself into a frenzy.

We can't continue to repeat the same things...you didn't have a risk, you don't need a test.  End of story.

Mental problem not HIV problem. Seek professional mental help.

I know everyone said I have no risk. I am just freaking out. Both my Armpits hurt. I honestly think I bruised them by poking them so much. I just keep telling myself WHAT IF they are swollen. And I feel like the nodes on my right grion/leg are swollen. I still have a sore throat (although us does feel different than a "sick" sore throat).

I jut can't get it out of my head. I noticed I have a large sore on the very back of my tongue. Not sure if it was there a month ago when I performed oral sex. Could it have gotten in there? It doesn't hurt.

Are y'all sure I have nothing to worry about? I am thinking I am that one person who will be the exception.

you have a sore throat...go see your dr.  it's NOT hiv related.

[Justwondering40]

My throat pain seems to be getting worse. I shouldn't go get an hiv/std test just to rule this out?

[Justwondering40]

Thanks everyone. Just trying to shake the anxiety.

[Justwondering40]

Thanks everyone for your answers. Why am I so anxious?

[joggen]

You don't need to test. You should not give this a second thought and should just move on with your life.

[Justwondering40]

Thank you. I think I am going next week (will be 4 weeks) for a peace of mind test.

No risk.

[Justwondering40]

What if my lips had small cuts from where I bite off the skin?

[LIZZIE LOU]

no risk = no test

[Justwondering40]

Do you think a test at 4 weeks will be needed?

[Justwondering40]

Any other thoughts?

[LIZZIE LOU]

nothing that you've described put you at risk for contracting hiv

Your current symptoms are form anxiety. As for your nodes...most people don't even know how to find them and often misidentify other things, but poking at them can make them swell some.

You did not have a risk from oral sex.
