Answers:
You are overreacting. Please consider the followings and you will go to sleep after that :-)

1) Symptoms are never indicators for HIV infection as the symptoms are not HIV specific. Most people do not even have symptoms when they are infected. To summarize, symptoms mean nothing. They are most likely related to other medical conditions or in your case could be very well due to anxiety.

2) The chances of contracting HIV from a single episode of unprotected oral sex is estimated around 1 in 10,000. Some professionals even believe it is no risk. We are going to be conservative and saying 1 in 10000, which is very very low.

3) You do not know if your partner was infected or not. Most people ARE NOT, specially if you live in industrialized countries.

4) For other STDs, it is possible to get them from oral sex but the risk is still very low. oral sex is not the best way to transmit STDs. I would check for STDs to make sure. But I think your concern is more about HIV.

Put them together, you have very little to be worried about HIV. Go back to sleep, test around 6-8 weeks after exposure and then confirm it with a 3 months conclusive test. It will be negative.Health Question & Answer

first of all calm down go to your local clinic they will do some sdt tests you will not get any symptoms of hiv for at least 3 months so they cant do a test until then but they will be able to give you some advice to but you at ease it i highly unlikely that you have hiv if no bodily fluids were exchanged the clinic will be able to give you all the advice you need that's what they are there for maybe you will be a bit more carefull next time Health Question & Answer

burning does not suggest hiv, however you could have contracted thrush in your mouth from oral sex, go to the drs and get it checked out, i shoukdnt think there would be a major problem Health Question & Answer

1) No
2) Yes
3) Lower than regular sex
