Hey, I'm a guy who about 6 months ago swallowed after performing oral on another guy...Ever since I thought about my actions, I've not been the same for thinking that I've been infected with HIV even though the guy told me he had nothing. Ever since the summer, I've been constipated badly, and the past few weeks I've had recurring sharp pains in my abdominal area, my sides, and even my back, and the constipation continues. What's going on?? This has been eating away at me for months now, and I'm extremely nervous about going in for a test.

try to take more whole wheat product such as whole wheat bread, cereal. And drink a lot of water, I am sure the constipation will go away!
Believe me, i try!

constipation has NOTHING to do with HIV. take the other posters advice and get more fiber in your diet.

HIV can not live in saliva or stomach acid. the risk for infection from oral sex is just about 0%. i would say you are fine.

constipation could be from stress/anxiety. high stress levels can lead to IBS, IBS with constipation, etc. I used to be regular, my entire life. When I started going through the years of high stress levels, I developed constipation. It's always worse when Im stress/anxious. drink more water and take some extra fiber. :wave:
