About three weeks ago i had protected sex with a guy I met at the gym. For the first 30 seconds i was giving him oral while chewing gum but it got in the way so i swallowed it. Now i'm getting ulcers in my mouth.
I've been pretty obsessed with working out lately and I've changed my diet drastically, working out 7 days a week. It's been also pretty stressful at work for the past month and I've had to work some days 12 hours straight. Also, last week i began taking Lipo 6. Is it possible that all my HIV symptoms (mouth sores) are due to my hectic lifestyle? I'm freaking out!!! I had an ulcer last week and now i have geographic tongue and swollen gums.
PLEASE HELP!!
 
HIV symptoms? I thinking the worst. It takes 6-8 weeks for HIV antibodies to be detected in your blood.

Your biggest problem is that you are freaking out. Calm down!

STD's can be treated. I don't think enough time has elapsed for HIV to show its symptoms. The risks are very low to contract HIV through oral only.

The only way to be sure that you are clean is to get tested. You will need to wait 6-8 weeks from your exposure for the HIV test to detect any HIV antibodies. For STD s, be sure to get your mouth swabbed and your ass too if you had receptive anal sex with him.

The important thing now is to stay calm.
 
Yes, stay calm. Get tested. I have ulcers in my mouth/geographic tongue a lot (particularly when stressed around exam season or after eating certain foods like beef/pork/acids/citrus), and they have zero relation to STDs. I have ulcerative colitis, which isn't an STD. Plus, geographic tongue is of unknown etiology, with no known relation to HIV/AIDS. Stop stressing, get tested if you're losing sleep.
 
Thanks for your help! It's really calming me down to know that i may have mouth sores for reasons other than an HIV infection. What really concerns me is the fact that i swallowed that stupid piece of gum that may have had precum. I know i should get tested, but i have to wait about a month so that the results are accurate!
 
I also read that the lymph nodes swollen after HIV infection. I'm happy to say i haven't noticed anything swollen around my neck. How long does it take for this to show?
 
Lymph nodes can swell for any kind of infection. I once got strep throat and my lymph nodes around my neck were slightly swollen.

I am not a doctor, but all of your symptoms are most likely caused by all your lifestyle/dietary changes and your stress at work. Stress can cause hell on your health. Make sure you're getting enough sleep, relax your body, and take your mind off of work.

Also, unless you had an open sore in your mouth at the time, swallowing a bit of precum shouldn't be of any concern. Your stomach is such a hostile environment that the virus will probably die the instant it gets there.

You did not engage in high risk behavior for HIV transmission. Also, not everyone exhibits "HIV symptoms" during the early infection phase. Freaking out over very vague "HIV symptoms" that occur with: colds, flues, mono, strep etc... is not worth stressing over (learned through experience.). To ease your anxiety, have an HIV rapid test at 8 weeks.
 
I'm POZ and I haven't had any health issues other than reactions to some forms of medications. I stopped taking them and/or switched with doctor approval. I've had dogs, cats, and bitten by a bunny and haven't had any issues. though I'm a worry wart I try to relax and meditate to de-stress. My daughter had chicken pox when she was younger n I had her that weekend with me. I helped her get better n I didn't succumb to anything. If you worry less than I do and don't party too hardy you should be OK. Don't limit yourself and your endeavors. I hope I helped out.
 
How are you doing? I hope that you're not free king out any more no matter what. I've been POZ since 1993 and have had no issues to speak of. I felt like I only would make it a few years after diagnosed but I'm still here. I've been active sexuslly and working a regular job. Now n then I get some depression but nothing therapy or meds can't fix. I've been scratched by dogs and cats and bitten by a bunny I once had and no issues. My X (he past away, not HIV) never became infected and I didn't contract anything from him and I know he messed around. I hope I helped you out. Do let me know bud.
 
your mouth has natural enzymes that destroy viruses including HIV. it would be very very rare to get HIV from oral sex. the anus has receptors that can transmit HIV; that's why anal without a condom is so high risk
