Need Help with Kissing situation

[BackTurn]

Hi everybody, my name is Jordan and actually I'm really anxious.

It all started in the beginning of February. I had a deep kiss with a girl no more than 5 min. At the end she told me she went back from the dentist. I was suspicious because I don't know her status and normally after a dentist consultation you end it with some blood. I didn't feel any blood in my mouth.We only kissed nothing much.
2 weeks later I went back and we kissed again. After this situation I felt sick with nausea, diarrhea, sore throat and rash on my shoulder. Despite being sick I decided to pay a visit and asked if she had any std...Obviously she said no(which I know it's irrelevant).I kissed her again, but this time her breath wasn't smelling good.

2 months later I still have abdominal pain with sore throat ,conjectivite and stress on my leg articulation. I did a determine combo vih test 4 weeks after the first time we kissed it came back negative. The nurse told me to come back in 3 months and that we can contract HIV while kissing if both of you have gum disease/sore.

For some reason I don't know why I'm still losing weight and I have a hard time to eat I don't feel like to eat anymore. I read about your advise in the forum and I would like you to analyse my situation (especially Jim and Ann).

HIV is transmitted by unprotected anal or vaginal sex; or by sharing injection needles.

Sorry to hear about the symptoms you were dealing with but none of those are related to HIV as you had no risk. Please continue working with your doctor to determine the cause of your issues.

Have a great day,

Reducing Your HIV risks:
With no exceptions, use condoms correctly and consistently for anal or vaginal intercourse
Talk to a healthcare provider about PrEP as another layer of protection

Get tested yearly for HIV and other STIs.
If you don’t use condoms and/or PrEP, test more frequently

Some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other more easily acquired STIs. It is possible to show no signs or symptoms from an STI so testing is the only way to know.

Get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.

What’s the ONLY way to know if you’ve been infected by HIV or an STI?
Get tested.

Salvia has enzymes that disrupts HIV from being infectious. Unless you were both gushing blood into each other's mouths (eek! And gross!), there was no risk.

Leatherman I want to thank you for all your advice you provided. It's not easy when mentally you're unstable. I decided to do a test to vanish all my suspicion.

As i said before i did a alere determine 4th test 4 week after the kissing situation which came negative.

I did a immunochrommatographic 8 week after the kissing situation.They took the blood from my veine.It came back negative.

I was wondering with all my test can the result be conclusive?

You had no HIV risk from these kisses, and no testing was needed, it was already conclusive as there was no exposure and we are not going to pretend otherwise as that would be a disservice to you and the wider community.

Sorry to hear that you have challenges and I wish you well. Work with a therapist.
