These sexual exposures carried little if any risk for HIV, which is more rare in women (in the US and other industrialized countries) than you might think; because condoms are highly effective; and because the average risk of HIV transmission for a single episode of vaginal sex is roughly once for every 2500 exposures (and that's without condoms). Exposed razor cuts do not significantly elevate the risk; the important thing is that the condoms covered the head of your penis and the urethral opening.

Second, none of the symptoms you mention suggests a new HIV infection. Even though many of the individual symptoms could be caused by HIV, individual symptoms are not nearly important as the pattern of symptoms. And the immune deficiency of HIV does not increase the frequency of gastrointestinal infections or colds; and when HIV causes immune deficiency, it is only several years after catching it.

So all things considered, I see virtually no chance you caught HIV during the exposures you describe over the past few months. But the answer to all this of course is to have an HIV test. (I have to wonder why you haven't done it already.) Based on all you say, you can count on a negative result. Go ahead and do that, and then return and let me know the result.

I hope this has helped. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

As for "I am just very fearful and guilty", that's not the same as HIV risk. Do your best to separate your emotions from the objective, scientific reassurance I have given you.

And do get HIV tested. That does not mean I believe you really are at significant risk; it's strictly for the anticipated reassurance of a negative result. I look forward to hearing the test result, but I suggest no other comments or follow-up questions until then. There is nothing more that will come to mind that would possibly change my opinion and advice, and you have only one more follow-up comment and reply coming before this thread is closed. OK?

March13-17 which is 11 weeks after my first protected encounter, far too long

March 23-i had my second encounter in which the woman started her period and got blood on me I finished and from what i recall condom was fine

4 weeks after 

April 19- i developed chills, vomit and diarrhea overnight and was gone after i evacuated everything. Night of heavy drinking and ate rare meat

May 3- same exact thing , nauseau and threw up had some chills the next day-light drinking ate rare meat

May 15-fever of 100 vomited 3 times diarrhea twice-ate seafood, dad also got sick

Your test result tomorrow will be negative. I'm feeling generous about the forum rules, and threads normally are closed after two follow-up comments and replies. But I'm still going to leave this open so you can post your test result. But if you post anything more before that, the thread will be immediately closed without further reply.

Assuming you had a blood test and not an oral fluids test (OraQuick®), the result is conclusive. If it was an oral fluids test, it's highly reassuring, but can take up to 3 months to be truly conclusive.

That concludes this thread. Take care and stay safe!
