Q: Paranoid Maybe For Nothing. Please Help

Hello. I am currently going to college in japan. I have an american friend who's gay, and with my being bi-curious, we went to a popular gay area in tokyo. While there, I met a japanese man whom I spoke with for awhile. I was drunk, and since he wanted to have some fun, I didn't refuse. I told him I was afraid of stds, especially aids, and he said that he was pretty sure he didn't have anything because he always used condoms. Anyway, I ended up giving him a blowjob. There was no ejaculation, and I didn't taste any precum (there might have been a little though). Nothing happened besides that. About 2 days later, I got what seemed like a cold (i just got chills and a runny nose, I don't believe I had a fever). I realized that I probably just unfortunately caught a cold then, but nonetheless i'm quite paranoid. Can anybody tell me something to ease my mind? Thanks.

Hi!
I am asuming you didnt use a condom whilst giving the blow job? If not you have put yourself at more risk, but I wouldnt have thought alot! Oral sex carrys a low risk of contracting hiv and considering he didnt cum it is even lower...However you may as well go and get teasted in 3 months to put your mind at rest! But I am pretty certain it will be negative...Try not to worry and take care! X

Risk?
As 1summer states, the risk is low, especially when no ejaculation is present. If a condom was used, their is no risk at all. Indeed there are only a handful of cases of hiv being transmitted in unprotected receptive oral sex. You will be fine, i'm sure, but for your peace of mind, have a test 13 weeks after your last unprotected event.

Additionally:

- please remember that 'aids' is not a virus. It is hiv that is the virus and that is what a person is infected with. Aids is a term to describe someone's advanced hiv status after some years of living with the virus. You do not become infected with aids, you become infected with hiv.

- to experience symptoms after two days is not characteristic of ars (the process of turning positive), as this usually happens about 2 to three weeks after the encounter. Two days is far too early.
