wow please help me
Ok, I posted a few days ago and got some "no risk" responses which made me feel much better. I have had PROTECTED anal sex with another man (me receiving) for the past month or so. I did however give him unprotected oral sex briefly, with some pre ejaculate involved. I have gotten some flu like symptoms...AND cold symptoms. I have had night sweats, aches, etc. Plus a runny nose, sore throat / phlem in my throat. All around sick feelings. I attributed this to me living in a dorm with almost everyone else being sick, but now today as I look in the mirror it looks like im getting a rash on my chest. There are red ares here and there...and as I look harder it looks like I can see more. I just went tanning for the first time in awhile about 2 hours ago, and I noticed these spots afterwards. But I don't think it's a sunburn because it's in sports not in one area. I am REALLY freaking out here...heart pounding on the verge of tears...
is there ANY risk in getting HIV from giving oral sex without a condom? any other comments on my situation?

I have always thought of myself as being a rational person. And generally, I am. especially when giving advice to other people I see the rational side of things. But when it comes to my personal health, I tend to get irrational. Even though I know that there is only a "theoretical" risk of acquiring HIV from giving another man oral sex, in my mind I feel like I am going to be the ONE person that gets it.
and this is the SECOND time this has happened to me. This summer I was with another guy for the first time in my life, and the following three months were the worst three of my life worrying about getting HIV from giving oral. I don't know if I am not mentally stable enough to be intimate with someone or what....I just need help

ive been there hey do this look up anxiety and stress on google and look at the list of symptoms there i bet you have them and thats why your mind has gone crazy hiv is way far from your problems
but this isn't like small pimples its just small red areas on my skin.
and it's so much easier said than done to stop my mind from running. All of these symptoms are pointing to HIV/ARS in my mind.
it's like my heart is sinking in my chest.
