Hiv fear

Hi One and half year ago I received a blow job and hand job from Russian prostitute. She put condom wiht her mouth and then she gave me brief blow job and after that proceeded to hand job. Couple of weeks after I had some burning sensation during peeing but It went away. About 10 weeks after I had some strange influenza kind of sickness but it went away after one week. Now one and half years after I have had lots of symptoms and I'm afraid that I have caught HIV- My symptoms are: White coating on tongue and mouth pain nail fungus lack of sweating and dry mouth mouth ulcers hand shaking I have been really stressed during two last months and I have done four antibody tests: first in the beginning of April and last in the beginning of May. First one was antibody test and three others DUO tests. I can't stop worrying and seeking symptoms from my body and from the web and it seems that every single symptom matches.

Welcome to the forum. The important information in your question is the negative results of your HIV tests. Test results always overrule symptoms and exposure history. Even if you had a high risk exposure (you did not since oral sex rarely if ever transmits HIV and hand-genital contact for sure is zero risk) and if your symptoms were typical for ARS (they are not) your negative test results prove for sure you do not have HIV. The reason that "every symptom matches" HIV is because HIV symptoms are pretty much the same as those of hundreds of other common medical conditions. Symptom lists are to be ignored. It is the pattern of symptoms -- how and when they occur with and without other symptoms that sometimes can suggest an HIV infection. But the individual symptoms never do. So my advice is that you stop searching the web about this. Accept the scientific evidence both of your non-risk to start with plus the test results and stop worrying about HIV. If your symptoms continue or you otherwise remain concerned see a doctor about them to learn the cause and possible treatment. I repeat that they definitely are not due to HIV.
