hi. i'm a 31 year old straight male who just recently had unprotected oral sex with man who said he was "clean" about a week and a half ago. this was a "curious phase" and don't endeavor to do it again. he didn't ejaculate in my mouth and there was no form of penetration either and the oral lasted less than 10 minutes. i am not sure if he was gay or bi but he said he was clean. and now reading into the symptoms of hiv, my mind has me totally convinced that i may in trouble. i have body aches, i havent been eating much in the past 5 days and my stomach hurts from not eating. there was no fluid exchange to my knowledge and am concerned about the psychological stress my mind is putting my body through. i have taken 2 hiv tests because im scared out of my tree because the results arent in yet. again, my mind must be convincing my body about the symptoms and my anxiety is through the roof where i'm sick to the stomach. reading about symptoms on the internet is a bad thing to do is it not? i need help with this please!!

this is your mind getting the worst of you. It's all dillusional thoughts that making you sick. I do it all the time. Stop reading. Relax and wait. Once you forget thte time will pass by and you;ll notice whatever you are feeling was nothing but anxiety. Believe me it's not easy to become infected. I read a story of a gay couple in the US, one was infected the other wasnt but wanted to become because he wanted to be with his partner for life. 5 years after unprotected sex he was still negative. So you are fine. There are married couples where one is + the other - ... STOP READING the symptoms. You know how people eat with their eyes then overeat...well...same stuff, different menu :)
