One month ago I met a girl from a dating site.  We went to her apt after diner.  She gave me oral with a condom.  We also kissed.  I had a raw canker sore in my mouth at the time.  I also fingered her with a cuticle issue.  No vagianal or anal sex! 

6. Would the body aches in ARS be more generalized than just my legs.  

Doctor,

Welcome to our Forum.  Thanks for your questions and your implied confidence in our service.  I'll be glad to comment.  The encounter you describe did not put you at risk for HIV.  Your encounter was condom protected but, even more important is the fact that there are NO proven cases of HIV acquired from receipt of oral sex, as well as the fact that her recent negative test makes it impossible that she could have transmitted HIV to you (If she had HIV which could be transmitted.  Similarly that a canker sore and an irritated nail cuticle in to way changes my assessment.  Her test several weeks would have been positive).  The symptoms you describe are non-specific and do not suggest HIV.  ---

Dr.  Hook-

I should have mentioned the node of possible concern is in my neck.  Hopefully that doesn’t make a difference either.  I’ll save my follow-ups unless you think it’s important to comment.  

Thank you for the additional information however, this does not change my assessment.  You did not get HIV from the no risk encounter. I should also add that many of these questions are quite similar to questions that have been asked and answered in the past. As a result, the answers are the same. I think you were worrying entirely too much.  This is not HIV. EWH.---

Hi Doctor Hook,

As I mentioned the arm muscle aches are a new thing I never experienced.  

7. Lastly can I just ignore my arm muscle aches and just hope they go away?

As you know, we provide up to 3 responses to each client's questions.  These will be my final responses and then the thread will be closed.  It's disappointing that you are unable to accept the no risk nature of your encounter, the fact that it has been proven that your partner did not have HIV and your negative test results.  This patter resembles your difficulty in accepting that you did not get HIV in the exchanges you has with us two years ago.  You should consider why.  You apparently have a flu-like illness.  These sorts of symptoms can be caused by many different processes of which HIV is one of the rarer causes.  Other common causes of symptoms such as yours include COVID, influenza and the numerous other viral syndromes that peole get from time to time.  Further, your symptoms are not those of recently acquired HIV which typically include high fever, and severe sore throat as well as muscle and joint aches and, occasionally swollen lymph nodes.  ---
