Have I put myself at risk?
A couple a days ago I had an unprotected blowjob with an escort. I didn't do anything else. Have I put myself at risk for HIV or other deadly deceases? Or other deceases? I was also wondering is this forum is a real medical kind of forum? I'm really concerned about my own safety and that of potentiel partners I could encounter know. It was the first time I ever did such a thing and It will be my last time to. But I'm still very concerned.
Thanks for the help.

Ok, AJ you're not the only or first person that's reacting so strongly against me. I know you're doing it to help me. I will try to let it rest but it's hard everytime I feel something on my body I link it to HIV wich is probably totally wrong of me. I do hope you don't mind that I keep everybody updated in this threath, in the long run I hope I won't have HIV offcourse but his thread will provide a very clear answer for people who have done the same thing like me. I know it's totally wrong of myself to think the worst but maybe until I have a 100% sure proof I'll keep doubting wich is probably a very human reaction. I also have to say that i'm going to my doctor thursday morning and he'll examine and explain everything to me again. I really think he'll give me a lot of information and a pretty clear answor on those "symptoms" I'm feeling. After that I'll try to let the time pas by. Nevertheless I still have to thank you very much for the advice you give me.

Dr. HHH has told you, I've told you, your own doctor has told you - you aren't at risk for HIV.
I don't know where you are reading that these are HIV symptoms - they aren't.
If you must test - and I see no reason for you to - you can test now. At 6 weeks, an HIV test is between 90 and 95% accurate. If this is negative, you can relax.
Its time to see a counselor. I know you are resistant to it, but your reaction suggests strong anxiety to me, which is something that Dr. H also mentioned.

Ok, I don't really now what I'm going threw now, but I'm very scared the last couple of days. I've been to the doctors forum and asked the same question like I did here.
You can watch it here: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/699949. I have done a lot of research about HIV and I'm still in doubt, I'm very worried about the safety of my girlfriend and ofcourse myself. The last couple of weeks this is what I'm going through.
Week 1: Made a big mistake and felt tired that week.
Week 2: I was very scared, and felt a little flu like.
Totaly in panick I went to my normal doctor and a specialist and told them my story. They said I shouldn't fear but should do a test. My normal doctor said in three months and the specialist said I should let them take blood right away and then again in three months. Wich I did, Stil felt a little flu like, and had some musclepain.
Week 3: The bloodtest came back negative, but I developed some kind of rash. I went to the doctor who said it was a fungal infection. I got something against it and started to use it. (I was a little bit more comforted.)
Week 4: I still used the product and my rash got less, but it's still not gone.
Week 5: I'd started totally to panic. I have red dots on my thighs wich I think I have had in the past before week 1 and is just a form of acne, But I'm not so sure. I'm also feeling a little bit irritated under my armpits but that could be due to my clothes or me sweating. The problam is, I read on the internet about HIV and I think these are symptoms of HIV infection. Now everything I wrote in those two stories you can find here are exactly the thruth. Now Am I making myself sick? By poundering to much? Or is it good, I'm so watchfull? Could I have HIV? According to AJ and some others like my own doctors not from the activity I did. (I really want to believe you guys.) If I have read the doctors comment on the forum right: He thinks I shouldn't even test for HIV and can have regular sex with my girlfriend, therefore he probably doesn't think I'm in danger of getting HIV, am I right with that part? Fact is today and yesterday I was/am panicking a lot more because of the red dots and iritation under my armpits. I must say the red dots apear on my right and left thigh and like I mentioned before it's probably a form of acne. I had red dots on my thigh in the past wich was acne. As far as my armpits go, I don't see anything visible on them, nothing red or big like that. It's just feels irritated. In case you are wondering I do wash myself everyday offcourse but since I know I have to wait three months, I'm checking my whole body a couple times a day. Today I was so scared I wanted to visit my doctor but I couldn't reach him. These three months are really very hard to go threw. Hopefully other persons will read this story and don't do something as stupid as I did. It's totally not worth it. Can somebody please give me some more advice?

I think and also hope you are totally right AJ, I do have a flu or cold coming up now. I guess the only thing I can or should do is keep away from sites with information, live my life and work as good as possible and do that second test to put my mind in peace.
Thank you for all the help AJ, I do hope it's going to be february soon.

That link I gave you explains why there is no risk for HIV from oral sex.
I don't see anything to worry about here at all, and I'm glad you are starting to see that. You were never at risk for anything that would last a lifetime.
I think what you are feeling mostly is guilt and anxiety, and that's what is causing this fear.
