oral sex scare

I received oral sex from someone who I highly suspect of having HIV, he blocked me so I wouldn't be sure.Im not aware of his oral condition but his breath was not plesant. Over the past month and 2 weeks I've had gradual symptoms and I Never get sick! I've had Every symptom except sore throat, fever, and fatigue. I think I have a lymph node on my neck that hurts and I've been having a dry mouth very constantly I'm scared and don't know what else to do. I tested for all stds at 16 days all negative but I know that was really early.  What should I do?

I made an account on a different email and I saw the guy that blocked me!!!  So I confronted him and he basically confirmed he had it and blocked me again!! This means I kinda HAVE to get tested again, oral sex is a risk so  scared !!

thats just the thing, i might seem crazy but really i am not stressing or going through anxiety, as i type this now im very calm and im with family, these symptoms pop up, I try to ignore them but they are very bothersome! all my emotions are in my head, i dont display them. All the signs are just not looking good for me. I pray its something else.

Did you read the link Worriedguysks1 gave you?

You are a day under 7 wks. Get tested now with a 4th gen combo test.
Even a 3rd gen AB test at this time would be close to conclusive. ( 3rd gen will require a 3 month follow up to be considered conclusive. 84 or 90 days post event)

Fear and anxiety can harm your immune system causing "symptoms" you swear is HIV. Test now with a 4th gen combo test. Waiting is not in your best interest considering your high level of fear and anxiety.

Hello ,

I have a similar experience , but you must know symptoms can never imply you have hiv, since symptoms of HIV exist in many other condition. I understand your feeling , however you should know that Oral Sex is very low risk in terms of HIV as to an extend experts say its Zero Risk.

Take a test at 28 days duo just for your peace of mind . Take care
