Hello doctor,I received a blowjob (without a condom) from a lady who’s HIV status is unknown. It was about 30 seconds long before I ended it. We did also deep kiss for several minutes. I came down with a fever about two weeks later. The fever lasted almost a week. Since then, I have had muscle aches, light headaches, and unexplained fatigue. This too went on for another two or three weeks. I have not felt 100 % since and have a general sense of malaise. I also currently have a dry cough, and it has been about six weeks since the event. Finally, I am noticing red veins in the corners of my eyes, my eyes are also watery and have discharge and crusting. I do not know what her oral hygiene or health was. I cannot say that I do not believe I had any open wounds on my penis, and I did not notice any blood on in her mouth. I have read lots of mixed messages on the possibility of getting HIV.Everything from no risk, low risk, to risk dependent on viral load. What STDs have I likely been exposed to? Does this include HIV? What are the chances of catching the HIV virus from insertive fellatio? Do I have symptoms of HIV ARS, or symptoms from something else? Maybe this is all just from stress.
Hello. I have noted your concern. Unprotected receptive sex from an HIV positive female (insertive fellatio) carries a very low risk of passing the virus and perhaps it is impossible to get HIV that way unless of course, she had oral sores or bleeding gums. The symptoms that you have are non-specific and may be experienced by someone with the seasonal flu. Since it has already been six weeks since the event, you may get screened by a 4th generation HIV (antigen/antibody) screening test which would be conclusive. Other STDs that you may have been exposed during fellatio are herpes simplex virus, syphilis, and gonorrhea. Regards. For more information consult an HIV AIDS specialist online -->
