To recap previous discussion: 9 days ago I received an unprotected blowjob from a white female here in Texas who I found on rubratings.com. Approximately 6-7 hours before the encounter I shaved my penis. Immediately following the blowjob I wiped my genitals with a warm rag of soap and water. I then rubbed hand sanitizer all over my penis including my urethra.
Both Dr. Hook and Dr. Handsfield assured me this was a ZERO RISK encounter for HIV that was no cause for testing or concern. However, in the past day or so I have had a slight, very mild sore throat, nasal congestion, and a tender lymph node in my neck. Does this change your previous assessment? I am worried. Thank you

It doesn't change my assessment no.

- As you can see from Terri’s additional response, all of us on the forum are unanimous that the exposure you describe was a no risk event. It is cold and flu season and Covid rates are rising rapidlyc. Any of these is a far more logical explanation for your current symptoms than the nonexistent possibility that she required HIV from the exposure you’ve described. Nasal congestion is not a symptom of recently acquired HIV and one persons experience symptoms from recently acquired HIV these symptoms are characterized by a high fever, a severe sore throat, and widespread muscle or joint aches. Please do your best to control your anxiety. If you cannot do that yourself, I urge you to consider seeking counseling to help you move forward. EWH

Thank you for responding. Last question: on day 4 after the event, I noticed a tiny red bump on the shaft of my penis. It ended up turning into a white head and was gone completely by day 8. Chances this was a syphilis?
