Does Kissing A Hiv Positive Cause Sore Throat And Headache?
I am a 42 year old male and I recently kissed an HIV positive girl. I dont think I had any sore in the mouth or bleeding gum at that time and i am not too sure about the girls dental hygiene then but i did not taste blood in her mouth at the time. The kiss lasted for only a couple of seconds but i had an allergy that was constantly producing phlegm in my mouth at the time. I started developing a sore throat 36 hours later and before the end of the day the sore throat subsided and i started developing a mild headache. A week later the mild headache persists and i also started developing pains in my left tonsils whcih later transferd to my right tonsils a week later. I have done the rapid test 2 weeks after the exposure and it was negative. Do you think i could have contacted the sickness? We are in the period of the year where people normally come down with the flu and malaria
Your symptoms are not due to hiv. Yes you definitely contracted some infection but its not hiv kissing for cojpld of minutedon't spread infection. so forget about it. But you have upper respiratory trzct infection due to some oyher agents. consult physician and take treatment for that.
No kissing hiv positive peson does not spread infection. But you have some other upper respiratory infection. Hiv canbe caused by sexual contact or blood to blood vontcat. Kissing for couple of minutes doesnot cause hiv. So consult doctor and take treatment of your infection. be relaxed. Forget about hiv.
