My encounter is as follows:
- on April 14th I had a sexual encounter with another man where he performed oral sex on me "not risky to my knowledge". On two occasions he inserted my penis twice inside his rectum without a condom and I pulled out very quickly, I got mad and left his place. He mentioned he is clean and that his last encounter was 4 months ago with another man.
Symptoms as follows:
- April 29 or so developed knee pain on my right knee. It was painful enough that I had a hard time going up and down the stairs. I went hiking on April 24th. I wasn't sure if this related since the time span between the hike and the pain is a bit too long which is 5 days. The pain kept switching between my right and left knee for about 2 weeks but NEVER experienced the pain on both knees at once.
- May 14 severe watery diarrhea lasted about 5 days and always mostly in the morning after waking up and after eating.
- Some time in mid-May I had drenching night sweat for one night. Had few other night sweats but very lightly. 3-4 times in total.
- NO FEVER OR RASH
- I'm aware symptoms are not an indicator. Are these ARS symptoms?
- I'm going to get a blood test on June 7 for HIV and STDs. Is it too early for HIV testing?

Ok. I can wait a bit longer for the tests if thats the case.
