Can HIV Be Contracted Through Protected Sexual And Oral Intercourse?
Question: Hi Doctors, My Problem is about corcern of hiv. I have been with a CSW(escort) lady in Hungary. The sex was protected(intercourse and oral) however prior the act, I shaved and trimmed my groin area.(I do not remember any cut). I have developped a major anxiety since the new year. (Shaking, night sweat, 3-4 hour sleeping).
Since then I did 2 combo test (on 6th Eclia, and on the 24th Abbott Architect after the possible exposure). Since first of January I have flu(cold) symptoms, swollen lymphs 3 weeks now on the neck and mild sore throat(I can eat, drink only I feel a discomfort). And I feel a pea sized lymph in my armpit, sometimes with shooting pain(I am a very skinny, 65 kg and 190 cm). In the HIV checkpoint Center they told that I am negative, the Doctors say I am negative. My Question: Is it possible that all my symptoms what I have is through by anxiety, I ruined my immunity against normal cold viruses with my anxiety?. I am living in Denmark, I did the Abbott test here. I am sorry if I am confusig, but I cannot get out from this flu like illnesses. I am eating C vitamin 2000mg, drinking a lot of Camomile tea. I dont know What Should I DO Now. Thank you a lot Doctors.
