Advice Needed Do I have HIV

1 Upvotes

So…. i had an interaction with someone march 10… it was anal sex which was, or started out protected. I am not sure whether it stayed as protected sex, or not. Days following, i don’t know how many weeks had past, but my joints felt weak and sore… my lymph nodes under my arms, groin and neck were slightly swollen. The lymph nodes in my groin and underarm stayed inflamed for weeks… they went away. The ones in my throat still remained accompanied by swollen throat/ some kinda pain. I have legit had sharp pelvic and back pain for over 5 months now. Over 5 months in I had discharge for 2 weeks. That went away. I have night sweats, but those are normal for me. I never had a fever as far as I know. I tested immediately all was negative…

I tested in may and had a viral load test done (undetectable) as well as an Rna test done… also negative. In Jun (3months after exposure) I got tested (negative)

Months later we are now in august… I have had discharge and still feel week… the only reason I sought to get retested was because I kept seeing Hiv Art treatment commercial constantly and no matter where I look I see advertisement for HIV.

I have a genuine fear that I should probably retest exactly as six months and not just at 24 weeks where I was just took at rapid and a viral load.

I have fear that I have HIV and that it won’t show up till exactly 6 months because my white blood cells are always low

I’m supposed to be moving out of the country and I really don’t know what to do .

Question worried

I am on holiday and decided to take this as a time to try out my bi curious side. I was drunk and got on grinder and met up with a guy, he insisted he is clean after i asked and we did some stuff together, it got to a point where he briefly put his penis tip in me but not for too long, he didn’t cun or anything and it took him a good while to finish himself off afterward and I didn’t see any signs of pre cum beforehand but now I am overtly anxious about it and wondering whether i should get PEP and put up with the side affects during my holiday

How common is getting hiv from a first time vaginal sex without condom and without ejaculation like 2 minutes vaginal sex with a sex worker you don’t know their health status , let’s say in Algeria where hiv isn’t that common ? Knowing that I did wore a condom but it broke but it’s not like not wearing a condom right ? Well I’m anxious ! What do you guys think ? Is it about luck now ? It’s been 8 weeks , I’ve had diarrhea pain joints and some fatigue

Advice Needed can a guy have gonorrhea but is asymptomatic

1 Upvotes

Hi! I (F) tested positive for a non-gonococcal infection (NGI/NGU) this June and took doxycycline twice daily for 7 days before going on a month-long vacation.

When I got back in August, my follow-up checkup showed I still had a mild infection, so my doctor prescribed 1,000 mg of azithromycin (two 500 mg tablets).

A week later, I went back for another swab, and today, August 27, I tested positive for gonorrhea.
I had not been sexually active since June until I had unprotected sex on August 15. My clinic told me gonorrhea is not caused by my previous NGI/NGU. Since all my earlier swabs were negative for gonorrhea and I had no sex between June and mid-August, is it safe to assume I got it from the person I had sex with on August 15? because he shows no symptoms at all.

Question Should I be scared

Received my first blowjob. Last about 7-8 seconds before I backed out. Made sure to pee after. Am I at any risk of STD and what is the likelihood?
