What Are The Symptoms Of Hiv?

Hello, I have a two-part question. Here s the back ground: Two weeks I had protected sex with this girl that I met at the club. During our evening, I went down on her and performed cunnilingus. At this time I had a cut on my lip, I am not sure that if it was scabbed over or if it was still open . I get these cuts because I bight my lip at night when I sleep and at the same time I had a canker sore inside my bottom lip underneath my gum line and I am not sure if it was scabbed over. She also went down on me and sucked my scrotum (balls sack) I had a scratch down there from scratching and I am not sure if the scratch was scabbed over. My questions are as follows: 1. If she is HIV + could of I contracted HIV when I went down on her either via the cut on my lip or the canker sore in my mouth if they weren t scabbed over? 2. If she is HIV + could of I contracted HIV when she went down on me if my scratch wasn t scabbed over. I am really nervous now, since I am in a foreign country. I asked her all the questions if she was a sex worker (she said no) and if she has aids ( she said no) and I asked her about her past sex life, she said she got tested two months ago but she s been in this country for 3 months, but I asked if she had HIV and (she said, what is that?). I asked her to take a and aids test on 4-1-2011, which was saturday but I am not sure if she did, she said yes she did but still I am not sure. I asked her for paperwork with the results but I am not sure if they give that out. So those are my questions any assistance is greatly valued.

Hi
If she is HIV + and the sore in your mouth is not healed then there is a chance that you might contact HIV and remember if only she is HIV + then there is only a chance of you contacting the disease.

If she us HIV + and you have cuts on your scrotum then also you have a chance of getting HIV and once again only she is HIV+ and then also there is only a chance of getting disease.

To rule out the disease you can undergo RT-PCR( reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) which is most sensitive test.

Hope I have cleared your doubt
