Had Protected Oral Sex With A Sex Worker, Had Chapped Lips Later. Am I Infected With HIV ?
I had protected sex with a sex - worker around 2 months back. I kissed her on her lips many a times and was about to perform oral sex on her and touched my mouth on her vagina for a second or two, but quickly restrained. Immediately. After 2 days I had chapped lips and after 2 months, I now have fever and sore throat. Does this mean that I am infected with HIV?
