Question : Me and my boyfriend had protected oral sex. When he took off the condom he had pre cum on my chest. He then grinded on me but I had underwear on. And he then fingered me after he wiped off pre cum with his hand. I got a hiv 4th generation test and a hiv rna test at 5 weeks and a 6 week rapid hiv test. I am scared because now at week 7 I have a sore throat and sore lymph nodes. Can I have hiv?
