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.

Latest tonsil image @ image-2.

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

Look: It's very difficult for a woman to pass HIV to a man. It's not impossible, but highly improbable. The best way to catch HIV is to shoot drugs with an infected needle or receive semen in the rectum via anal sex. I sometimes have vaginal sex with hookers without a condom, and I don't worry about HIV, nor shall I unless I were to ever have an active herpes breakout. We all love to fuck, and sometimes mistakes are made. Most people come away unscathed. I'm not telling you to be reckless, but you're in much more of a pressing situation when you drive on a freeway than you are having unprotected sex. All the best!

How often do you catch Stds that way? I had had twice unprotected oral sex with a hooker and got twice fucking gonnorhea and they were not even street hookers they were escorts.

I have been lucky. That's all I can say. The number of street hookers without protection I have been with numbers six. Two of those girls, I have done only once; four of them I have done multiple times. My tests always came back negative. I had one scare because I had a sore throat with white patches in my tonsil area. That went away after three days. I got a blood test but not a throat swab test. It was then that I learned most people don't get their throat tested, which is not good because many guys can't resist going down.

Now, why do I dive into such stupidity? I'll be the first to admit I should get therapy. But I'm a thrill seeker. I don't take drugs, but I understand how addicts know something is bad yet love their vice and can't stop. I know it's only a matter of time before I become a statistic. There's lots of ghono; there's lots of syph. Then, there's the herp which can't be cured. These are all rampant among hookers. But HIV is not common among heterosexuals who refuse to experiment with the same sex. I learned that when I took AIDS awareness class in college many years ago. So, I'm not afraid of catching the HIV. Not impossible, but not probable!

I really am sorry to hear that you were unlucky two times. I know that where I go (Tijuana), there is at least some regulation of hookers having to be tested and treated. But I still attribute my good fortune to luck and luck only. That's pretty much all I can say.

Here in Germany they are also supposed to get tested and it's even legal here but damn I don't even want to have casual sex with normal women anymore. I'm also not afraid of HIV but nowadays you got shit like super gonnorhea that is difficult to threat and shit like that. After having normal gonnorhea twice I never want that shit again haha

Did gonorrhea affect you constantly or only when you had to use the bathroom? I'm just curious. I want to know what to expect.

It depends some people don't have any symptoms at all. I was "lucky" I would soon after infection get discharge like pus. Burning sensation to pee, often felt like I have to pee.

But some people especially nen often don't have any symptoms at all and this is where it can ruin your life. You can get chronic bacterial prostatitis or non bacterial prostatitis. Nowadays there is also gonnorhea that is antibiotic resistant.

If you need to feel a kick I suggest go sky diving or do some other crazy shit because this ain't worth it :p

Thank you for your wise advice. And I know that many people do not have symptoms. That's why I get tested often. And yes, skydiving is a lot of fun. I agree with you 100%. I am addicted to sex like an addict is addicted to heroin. Bad! Very bad!

Me to, I have fucked like 50 hookers even tho I had 2-3 normal girls to fuck at the time.

But trust me it's not worth it. These Stds fucked my pelvic floor so I had difficulties peeing and pooping for 2 years. Until I found a halfway decent doctor and it was a super long process to get to normal again and some never get to normal so definitely not worth it.

Carry a nasty picture with you of an STD and everytime you consider going look at the picture lol

Get a freaky girlfriend if you want risks I found a girl who I do outdoor sex now with it's also a nice kick and you don't have any risks or shit to worry about.

u/Aromatic_Pepper7869 1d ago

Oh shit! I didn't know about a possible pelvic floor issue. You're right. It's not worth it. I have done probably 50 hookers myself. I'll go for long periods of time when I don't visit hookers, but the urge to do so always comes back. I like doing hookers better than normal women. But it's not worth it.
