I had unprotected sex with a girl i hardly
know several weeks ago. and oral sex
occured both ways.....
I know symptoms are totally unreliable to
go by but i am FREAKING out....
All i have is swollen lymph nodes, which i
know can be attributed to anything, but i
have had them for over a week. If i had
other symptoms such as a sore throat, i
may even be more relieved, as i would have
something to attribute the swelling to
something else. Since there is nothing
else though, it leaves me to conclude that
it can only be due to AHS.....
Additionally, my joints may be achy... but
i cant tell if it is psychosomatic from me
being paranoid or if they really are...
Besides telling me to get tested, what are
my chances of recieving HIV from her?

It would be difficult to give you exact
statistics on that. It depends on a lot
of things. It depends on if she even has
HIV, what your immune system is like to
begin with, if she had her period, and
even where you live. It is estimated that
people have about a 1 in 1,000 chance of
getting HIV from unprotected sex from a
random partner, but like I said, your
chances can be a lot more or a lot less
than that depending on a few things.
That's just an average.
When it comes down to it, you know what
you have to do. You have to get tested
either way, no matter what statistics say
that your chances are.
