hiv or stress?

hello. i received unprotected oral sex and had protected sex 4 months ago with a female. with intense make-out sessions.
i never had any symptoms that may have led me to think that i had been introduced to hiv.

about one month ago i started noticing my neck feeling tighter and felt it pulsating from time to time. and about a week ago i started feeling a burning sensation on my tongue that leaves a bitter after taste to anything i eat. i have no visible spots or marks on my tongue that are out of the norm.


around that same i lost my job and apt and was living with my grandmother. i was extremely stressed with constant calls from banks and constantly worried about my financial problems. i had trouble sleeping because of anxiety and ate very poorly for the past 4 months. but it seems like the more i read about hiv symptoms the more it feels like i may have it witch adds more stress.

im going to get tested in 2 days. how long until the results come back?

Hi there,

Your test in two days will confirm what I am about to post to you. You were not at risk of an HIV infection.

Nobody can diagnose you on line, what can be offered is an assessment of your risk. Based on what you have posted I would honestly say your risk as zero. Your tests will prove this.

Regards Kevin.

You didn't have a risk and don't need testing. You don't have an HIV concern.
