Fat loss in one cheek bone and oral thrush
I am a diabetic and had an unfortunate encounter with a female from Slovakia who is now living in the UK whilst on holiday. We gave each other oral sex and there was genital contact but no intercourse. 1 day later I had tingling testicles and it burned slightly to urinate, I also started to have ulcers on cheek lining and a white tongue. As the days went by the tongue got worse but the tingling and ulcers got better. My cheek lining became swollen and rubbery. 4 weeks post event and I have not experienced fever or rash but the most alarming thing is that the fat on one cheek bone has almost disappeared and my face has got thinner. The fat on one cheek bone is ok but not on the other, this is completely new and isn’t apparent on any photograph taken before the event. My blood sugar is difficult to control now and I get cold easily and shiver on occasion even though my body temperature is normal. My tongue still hasn’t completely cleared up. Is this anxiety related?

There's nothing to "analyse", except to accept that you don't have HIV.
That will be all for this thread. No more comments, please; I will have nothing more to say.

So sorry for being irritating ealier. So what can we analyse from these results other than they are negative after 5.5 weeks?
Thank you for all your thoughts.

Hello
Received my test results back today after a full test and after 5 and a half weeks post the event, they have returned negative.

What exactly do you not understand about that???

Booked to see the doctor at my local GUM clinic. So will let you know about our discussion. Occurrences appearing since you last posted include, pus filled spots on my back and empty tiny dry white dots that have opened on the top layer of skin on my palms. Symptoms of ARS? Thank you for all your help.

Facial wasting in HIV is primarily a symptom of anti-HIV therapy. If it could possibly be due to HIV, it could not happen until someone was infected for at least several months, probably for years. White tongue occurs in hundreds of medical conditions; HIV/AIDS is one of the least common ones. No other STD is a likely cause of any of your symptoms.

Thank you for your reply. Is it likely to experience facial wasting 2-4 weeks post exposure and a White Tongue the following day?

Welcome to the forum.
These symptoms are not consistent with any known STD, either in the nature of the symptoms or the timing of onset following sex with your Slovakian partner. I cannot comment on your self-assessment of a possible change in the consistency of your cheek and whether it is ocnsistent with a change in fat composition of your cheek. My advice is that you visit your GP, or whatever provider manages your diabetes; or consider a visit to your local NHS GUM clinic. I'm betting that your symptoms are not due to an STD (including HIV) and that they are unrelated to your recent sexual encounter.
My only other thought is that when a person suggests his or her own symptoms have a psychological origin ("Is this anxiety related?"), usually that is in fact the explanation.
But I have no way of judging this in your case.
Let me know the outcome after you have been professionally evaluated and perhaps I will have some further advice.
