I've had small red blood clots on the
inside of my cheeck and one close to my
wisdom teeth. They will open up easy and
release the blood by applying slight
agitation and the torn tissue will heal
normally within a day or two. They
usually happen after eating. I'm worried
because I have takin some serious risks
over the past couple of years sexually. I
haven't had any other symptoms besides the
flu which occured after sleeping under a
fan for several nights. Do these sores
sound like the symptoms associated with
hiv infection.

First, the symptom you described are very
minor and are unlikely to be a warning
sign of hiv/aids. You don't get any
immediate symptoms with hiv/aids. You
even have to wait for about 6 months until
after the exposure to see if you caught
hiv/aids. It takes that long to affect
your immune system. And then you have
catch something.
I'd only be able to guess at your risk if
you actually indicated the risky sex that
participated in.
Not using a condom in itself is not that
risky.
The odds are about a 100,000 to one
against you catching anything with
ordinary unprotected sex with a new
partner, provided you are cirmcumcized or
practice good sexual hygeine.
If not the risks go up.
If you have an open sore the risks go
up.
If you practice risky types of sex the
risks go up.
If you have sex with prostitutes, you are
at higher risk,
especially if they are intervenous drug
users, or careless about using a condom.
You have to consider the risks every time
you have sex.
And as I said the odds get higher and
higher the more often you take a chances
with risky sex.
Maybe you can give a betterr idea of what
kind of sex you had?

Clean people and circumsized(sp) people do
get aids! There is always a 50% chance
with sex that you can get aids!
