Symptoms after csw sex
« on: June 21, 2024, 03:17:57 am »
Okay. Why am I worrying... Because of a sore throat and mild dry cough.

Had protected oral and vaginal sex with a Vietnamese sex worker from a telegram pimp, 7 days ago.  As far as I could tell at the time - there was no need to examine the condom too much so I guess it was in tact. The next day I went for a body to body massage and a girl sat on my penis (no insertion) in the bath and grinded me before HJ and protected oral. On Monday/Tuesday a started with a mild sore throat and 2 days later a mild dry cough. Felt sickly but no fever or body pains.

What if hiv fluids entered my penis... Or even through my scrotum. I'm just worried.

I keep doing this to myself. The symptoms are real and not anxiety. However my brain says I was protected but my other part says hiv got through the condom in vaginal or oral sex

Hiya,

I read your post three times with care including all the "what ifs" and scrotum concerns.

You received a handjob, oral sex and used condoms for intercourse. You had no HIV risk from what you posted here.

On Monday/Tuesday a started with a mild sore throat and 2 days later a mild dry cough.

This has nothing to do with HIV from the encounters a few days prior. See your healthcare provider and treat whatever is making you feel unwell. Please don't mention symptoms again, thank you.

Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV and get vaccinated against HPV, Hepatitis A & B.

Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.

Kind regards

Jim

Thank you for reading my post so thoroughly and for your comprehensive reply.

10 days post my protective insertive vaginal intercourse… I know you said not to mention symptoms… but just to share my feelings…

Sore throat
Dry cough
And I have 4 pink raised spots 1cm size on each lower leg that are itchy and slightly raised.
Nausea.
Im A bit tired.

I’m wondering if that is sounding suspicious because all the websites keep saying early HIV gets such an itchy rash and sore throat and cough and nausea.

I’m sure the condom did not break but there was some forplay. Could fluids have been exchanged in foreplay be a risk or when the condom was taken off?


Thanks

But nothing, I said don't!

"Your feelings" also have nothing to do with HIV

Your left testicle and arm could drop off tomorrow, it's not HIV from the concerned encounter.

If you mentioned symptoms (feelings) again or ask me something I've already answered, you will be getting a 28 day ban.

Asked and answered already. You mentioned grinding against each other already and I didn't presume you would still be wearing the condom 10 + days later.
