Title: Oral sex with prostitute unprotected(receive 5 min,give 10sec), flu 1 week later

Chances I got HIV? I haven't had a flu for like 8 years, but this one knocked me out for like 4 days.

I got a fever exactly seven days after the interaction.

This was a clean looking higher priced prostitute, not that this means anything.

My doctor gave me tamiflu and an antibiotic (I didn't tell him about this.)

You were never at risk and this is not an HIV concern.

Read our lesson on HIV transmission. There's a link to it in the Welcome thread which opens this section.

Getting oral from anyone is absolutely not a risk for transmission. No guy has ever been confirmed to have been infected in that manner. It's safe to say you won't make history by becoming the first. As far going down on a woman, the risk is strictly theoretical. In the real world of HIV transmission just doesn't happen that way.

Unprotected intercourse whether vaginal or anal are what you need to be concerned about. And as long as you always wear a condom for those it doesn't matter if you are with a civilian or the Whore of Babylon. You will be well protected. Condoms do the job.

You are worrying needlessly. This is not an HIV situation. Period.
