Not at risk: If this is all that happened, there's no realistic reason to be afraid. It's common for young adult men to explore like this with friends, and whatever direction this takes you, I hope you'll choose to love safely and well. You may have arthritis from some other cause -- perhaps even parvo B19 or new-onset rheumatoid arthritis -- and you may wish to be seen by your physician.

No HIV Risk: I appreciate the worry, but this is not how HIV is transmitted or contracted. There is no risk in this scenario. And, I can promise you that your symptoms are not in any way a symptom of HIV or any other common STD.
