Question
I kissed an HIV positive man
23 February 2008. Related: All topics.
I wanted to have a baby but I didn’t have a husband and I was getting older. I asked this guy i know very well, to help me make a baby. We dated ten years ago and I guess we still like each other somewhat.My fertility doctor told me if he (the doctor) provides the donor it will be much more expensive so i asked a friend. He said yes .
So my doctor tested both of us and his was HIV positive. We hadn’t have sex in ten years but we had been French kissing lately since we started talking again.
I went to my doctor and told him that i had been kissing this guy. The doctor said that the risk is BASICALLY zero that I had contracted the virus. He said he will do the test in three months just to ease my mind. I am waiting but I can’t sleep in the meanwhile.
Lately, I have been having all the signs of a person going through seroconversion. Two weeks after exposure I developed an earache and I still have it after one month. My lymph nodes are swollen in my neck and in my thighs cough and cold.
I had the flu and while I had that I had a fever, chills and night sweats.
The doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia after a chest xray. I took all the antibiotics and it went away.After the flu went away( in one week) my nodes are still painful.I still have the earache.
My doctor had just did a test on me a month ago because I had decided on infertility treatments.I WAS NEGATIVE.
The doctor said this is the worst flu season and I shouldn’t worry myself. I don’t feel well at all. I can’t wait for three months.Why are my nodes still swollen.
What am i to make of these symptoms I am experiencing? Is it all in my head?
Answer
I am more concerned for your friend who is now dealing with a real HIV positive diagnosis, after having agreed to help you with your wish to have a baby.
You surely know that if HIV can not be caught by kissing, confirmed by your doctor, that you can not have caught HIV.

Hi Rina,
i-Base doesn’t have resources to anser questions about risk and transmission. Please see this link.
I had a sex with sexworker(transgender) and I was too drunk too remember but I believe I did without condom once. Later I asked him if he’s clean or not but says he’s clean. Should I trust him?
My concern now is after five weeks of exposure I lost my appetite all of a sudden out of nowhere. And I had a early morning bowel problem too at this point I was deadly worried , few days later i cut my finger since I’m working in a cafe I didn’t wanna expose blood so I kept wearing latex even while doing dishes and days later I had a patchy skin on my palms a few days later I found out that my lymph nodes were swollen(not painful even when I press hard but stiff neck while move) and I had a neck injury before one month.
What sacres me most is I’m eating well now (after one and half week of terrible anxiety) lymph nodes seems to get smaller too Due to some difficulties, I haven’t been able to check up and I’m still worried to death.
hey there just don’t be terrified , your psychological status could surely develop illnesses , just relax and abide by your doctor’s statements , hiv cannot be transmitted by a kiss or french kiss or whatever :)
Hi Ambrose,
Oral sex is generally a low risk activity. It is likely to be zero or close to zero in most circumstances. Please see this question here.
is a woman’s cum or a man’s HIV contaminated, in other word is oral sex safe with a HIV possitive person?

Hi Napoleon. Firstly, you haven’t had sex so are not at risk. Secondly, the test shows you are negative. This link might be helpful:

Otherwise, please speak to a docto about your symptoms, but they are not linked to HIV.
I kissed a lady but I never had sex with her. she went to hospital with her new guy who they had sex and their result is positive. since that day, as I continue to think about it that I might be a victim, I have been having fever,pain in throat and headache. please what can I do to do away with this thinking that is having negative impact on my health. I am afraid, the more I think about it, the more it get worse.
