Worried about a possible exposure of hiv. I received oral from female and have abrasion on head of penis due to oral. I also placed finger inside female vagina and had dry blood on finger nail area. Now its been 23 days and I am worried. What are some symptoms that I could possibly experience. I am having trouble breathing, a quick pain underneath left armpit, and left side right above collar bone is a little soar. I also have a red bump on tongue that is a little sensative to touch. please advise if I was in high exposure to hiv.

Oral sex and fingering aren't high risky activities, but, it is still possible to get infected with HIV when performing them.
The risk is bigger when there are small skin or mucosa tearing and blood.
The most common early symptoms of HIV infection are fever, fatigue, and rash. Others include headache, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, feeling achy, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and night sweats.

Ask for tests such as the p24 antigen test and HIV PCR test that can give accurate results within three weeks of infection.

Best wishes!
