Should I get tested for HIV?
Hello, 3 weeks ago I met a girl from companion website. We did not have penetration at all but all we did for 30 minutes was deep french kissing and she gave me a BJ. One week later,I started having sore throat only on right side of the throat. It has been 3 weeks and the sore throat still persists. The soreness is moderate and it only feels more while swallowing food, water or spit, not while sitting idly. There is no scratchy feeling in throat or cough or fever. There are no other symptoms except sore throat on one side. Do you think its an initial symptom of HIV?
yes
