HIV Risk Assessment
Hi,
About 6 weeks ago I had an encounter with another guy. For quite a bit, he stroked my penis with his rectal fluids on his hand and definitely touched my penis head. I took an early detection HIV RNA test at 13 days and 36 days post potential exposure and a 4th Gen Combo test at 24 days and 36 days post potential exposure. All came back negative. In the meantime I have developed symptoms of swollen lymph nodes, headache, prolonged sore throat, back/ neck pain. What is my risk for having acquired HIV and what would the advice be for any next step?
