A member asked:
Had oral sex a week ago. having flu like symptoms. could i have hiv or simply the flu?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold: HIV is rarely transmitted from oral sex. This sounds like a cold combined with some stress and anxiety related to sexual activity. HIV is most often transmitted by infected blood or sexual secretions; however, some cases of oral transmission have been reported also. I suggest getting an HIV test to put your mind to rest.
