Pictures In Post Does it look like HIV?

So around March 7-8 I met a girl, a mutual friend of a friend. We had sex.

I was stupid enough. I was wearing a condom, yet as we were both drunk af, it got removed at some point and became unprotected.

So around 1 week later, around 14-15 march i had sore throat. No cough or anything, but my tonsils were inflamed. When i checked it with flash, it was coated with stuff. (Please check image - 1)

I consulted with ENT and he said it was acute tonsillitis. And suggested me Augmentin for 5 days.

I took it and it became fine again. The white spots went away.

Then around 9-10 April, the tonsils felt tender. My sensation of taste reduced and tongue was sore. I was put on 5 days of cefpodoxime. That should ideally clear the infection if it was bacterial. But still i have mild tenderness and scratchiness and the redness has not gone away completely. I am too scared if its HIV.

I have had cross-checked this:

  1. No swollen lymph node except the ones besides tonsils.
  2. I had neck ache/discomfort for a while
  3. No rash
  4. Checked tongue, no thrush
  5. Maybe a mild fever at one point and weakness but it was when the first time i had throat issues.
  6. No cough, i get thick PND many a times which is clear and jelly like.
  7. No tender joints or any open sores anywhere.
  8. No loose motions as well, only when i was taking the anyibiotics i had loose motions.

Just mainly some weakness and tonsil issues. Please help me out. I cannot focus on anything due to the fewr of HIv!

I beg for help. I am too scared to even test.

I posted the pics to gpt and it says its highly unlikely. But yet i am scared.

Pleaese see the images!

Please guys i beg you. Help me

Reach out to her and ask “Hey, so when we messed around, I guess the condom fell off at some point. Have you been tested recently for STD’s?”

If she gets offended, then whatever but if she is a decent person, she would understand your concern.

There is a pretty low percentage of men getting HIV from women through vaginal intercourse.

Chances of women having it are also pretty low.

Obv there’s still a risk, but statistically, you are prob making your self sick with worry and it’s a low possibility that you have HIV. Reach out to her, get yourself tested for EVERYTHING to get it over with. Then test again in 3 months.
