Dr. HHH Please help? (unprotected oral and protected vagina)

I had unprotected oral sex and protected oral sex with a sex worker. 7 days after the even I started to feel tired. I had painful bruise on my arm. And then 3 weeks after, I had shooting pain on under my armpit and groin not swollen. I have mild fever that comes and go. I went to the doctor and did some blood work. I have high absolute lymphocyte. Took 4 gen test at 30 days negative and at 5.5 days negative. I still have fever as of today 10 weeks and my head is spinning. I lost conscience yesterday and fall at work.
1- What is wrong with me?
2- Is my 4 weeks and 5.5 weeks test false negative?
3- My doctor does not know what is wrong with me and said it anxiety and I am afraid for HIV.
4- Do I have a late seroconversion?
Thanks for reading.

As stated by our member, oral sex, protected or unprotected is NOT a risk for HIV.  The only risk factors for HIV are unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse and sharing of IV drug needles.  As you did not risk HIV, your concerns are not related to HIV and therefore, we are closing this discussion.  We wish you the best of health.

Thanks AnxiousNoMore. Do you consider my 5.5 weeks 4 gen test conclusive even though I have high absolute lymphocytes. What are the risk if I have HPV. I am asking because my girlfriend have HPV.  Based on your experience, do you consider 5.5 weeks 4 gen test reliable?

For good advice on HPV, you would have to go to an HPV forum or maybe the std forum deals with HPV.
Time to move on from HIV so reread the part about the 40.
Based on your experience, do you consider 5.5 weeks 4 gen test reliable?
Have you seen a 4 gen test at 5.5 weeks turns positive?

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from oral. It doesn't matter if you and they were bleeding at the time of oral either because it is effectively dead. You don't have any risk for HIV so didn't even need to test once, so a third test will be a phobia, considering also that your doctor has given a different diagnosis than HIV.

Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with so you had no risk.
Even with blood, lactation cuts, rashes, burns etc saliva and air do not allow inactivated virus to infect from oral. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make it a risk. Late seroconversion is an old myth.

This is not a diagnostic forum for non-HIV issues, and whatever you have has nothing to do with HIV, so continue to work with your doctor.
