I had a friend stay over at my home a month ago (6-9 june). He told me that he had unprotected receptive anal with a stranger (man) as a hookup 2-4 weeks before that. I had a lot of casual contact with him- shared meals, beverages, slept alongside, etc. Recently he caught the flu and I too have been having flu like symptoms. I am having severe panic attacks since a few days thinking about his hiv status which he still hasn't confirmed. Reasons i'm worried: - he had a big scab from an injury on his foot when he came home. He kept scratching it and touching me afterwords. - I saw him biting his lips in the afternoon and I too had chapped lips, and we shared fruit juice in the evening from the same glass. So i'm worried about some blood being present in it. - he had sex only 2-4 weeks before that, which means his viral load would be extremely high if he caught the virus. I have: - fever - throat swollen from one side on the inside with a whitish patch) - extreme fatigue - sores and itchy scrotum - I simultaneously developed some sores inside my mouth and on my scrotum a week ago. The mouth ulcerations have subsided but not the scrotum ones. It's itchy and a little scraped. - mild muscle aches i'm terribly worried about contracting hiv. My physician knows a little about this and he said that it's not a risk. I've been tested negative after 1 month, but I am showing symptoms now and I read that antibodies are detectable after sometime. Please help me alleviate my fears. :(
