What Causes Dizziness After Oral Sex?

Dizziness is not due to HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
First of all, Oral sex carries a low risk as mentioned by your HIV counselor.
Earliest manifestations of HIV can occur only after 4-6 weeks after the high risk contact, if there is HIV infection. Not earlier than that. HIV disease gets established in one's body 72 hours after the entry of organism. So your dizziness following next morning of the oral sex could not be due to HIV at all. Early morning dizziness may likely be due to fall in your blood pressure or spondylosis of your vertebral column. You may have to adjust your dose of Amlodipine as per the guidance of your physician. Your doctor will take care of everything.
Rule out HIV with a blood test 12 weeks after the last high risk contact.
Get well soon.

Diabetes to be ruled out.Antigen test rule out HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
There is nothing serious to be worried so much.
Burning feet and pain over the lower half of your body are not earlier symptoms of HIV disease. You have to rule out Diabetes Mallitus and you have to stop smoking immediately if you have that habit as these conditions can produce burning feet and pain over lower half of the body. Consult your physician, he/she will help you in this regard.
There are tests available to rule out or confirm HIV 1 infection (99% common) by 3-4 weeks after the risky sexual contact, with antigen based test. Thereby you can get relieved from your mental tension.
There are alternative good drugs for hypertension. You can try with the guidance of your Physician.

I have one more question how long it takes after a person is infected to feel the symptoms and if all symptoms have to be the same because I heard you said that dizziness and feet burn are not HIV symptoms.
Symptom appear after 7years,vary with immunestatus
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
As you are going to visit ER Today, most of your problems will be solved.
Earliest HIV manifestations can occur 4-6 weeks after the high risk contact, if one had HIV infection. These manifestations could be like an ordinary viral fever or FLU like syndrome. It is very difficult to suspect HIV with these symptoms.
Then after recovery from these symptoms within a 2-3 weeks, the individual will remain symptomless for not less than 5-7 years by which time his/her immunity goes well below normal and then the individual starts manifestations of AIDS symptoms of right from mouth, skin, Gastrointestinal tract, Respiratory tract and Central nervous system etc. The spectrum is very large and severe according to the stage of immune loss.
