Oral sex

I want to know If i'm having complications from untreated HIV because about 6-8 mos ago I had oral sex with a guy and a few days later had nausea but it went away.. Now a few days after Christmas I fell sick with extreme nausea and headache and occasional body aches and have went and been looked at and told it was acid reflux and or a stomach flu.. But those usual both last up to a wk and it's closing in on that and I'm still sick.. I hhave periods were I feel fine and energetic but at the same time very sick .. Could this be HIV?

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV. If you feel unwell see your doctor, it's not an HIV concern.

My amount of nausea, fatigue and sweating was very high when I had HIV anxiety.

Well if this isn't HIV related then why did I become nauseated out of nowhere?

hiv is NOT transmitted through oral sex...

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?  
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort).  DR. HOOK
