Brief Answer:
Breast sucking has negligible HIV risk.Symptoms unlikely to be due to HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
HIV concentration in Breast secretions are very much less when compared to blood or semen or vaginal fluid. Even with regular feeding for more than six months by an infected mother, only 25-30% of the babies got infection through breast milk. So sucking the breast has a negligible risk for HIV. Then there is a possibility for her being uninfected with HIV so far.
Moreover it is just 11 days past your encounter with that girl. Earliest HIV manifestations will occur only after 3-4 weeks after the infection, that too, not with all who infected(around 70%). So the symptoms present with you within 10 days could unlikely be due to HIV. All your symptoms can occur to anybody without the presence of an HIV infection due to any sore throat of viral or bacterial origin.
So nothing to worry about HIV.

Brief Answer:
Your chances for getting HIV is unlikely through breast sucking.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
All the commercial sex workers are not HIV positive. Only 30% are HIV positive.
1.Rashes might be due to either drug rash or due to an exantheme (associated with viral fever). Some other allergic rashes like food allergy, contact with some insects, plant allergen,dust or chemicals.
2. HIV enters into the body and the infection gets established only after 72 hours. Then only it starts multiplying and the symptoms start occurring after few weeks only.
Don't get confuse yourself. Your chances of getting HIV infection is very much unlikely through the above mentioned act.

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are not specific to HIV. Test could be conclusive.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.
Don't get panicky and get depressed.
Tiredness can occur even for a child. Sore throat is a very common illness for every one. You could mistook something else as oral thrush. Such symptoms can not occur in early HIV.
However much I would try to convince you, the only way to get rid of all your doubts is to get tested for HIV. Just wait for another 17 days to get a more conclusive result.
You will be happy to see a negative HIV result.

Thanks Doc. I have already given HIV DNA PCR test will that be conclusive? i am worrying bcz i am getting some related problems , also something itching from morning in left lips corner. Just say , as per my exposure , i wont be at any risk right? if no, why i am getting these symptoms? i am getting some nail pinching type rash , like when you pinch some one , they will get some line with wound right? like that i am getting.when itching comes , i scratch , after that line comes. started burning. leg behind thigh is paining , couldn't able to stand but sometime i didn't feel the pain.
Brief Answer:
Infection can occur through air born or due to skin contact during intimacy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
HIV DNA PCR can detect the presence of HIV infection as early as 1 week. But becomes more conclusive only after 4 weeks. It will rule out only HIV 1 infection (99% prevalence) but not the HIV 2. Both can be tested by antibody test which will be more conclusive by 12 weeks.
Your symptom can occur due to any air-born or skin to skin contact infection during intimacy during sex play (Hugging, kissing). Otherwise some allergic reactions could manifest like that. Only the examining doctor can arrive at the diagnosis.

I re-emphasize that the chances of getting HIV/STD through just sucking of someone's breast is a very remote possibility or negligible. The symptoms which you had,are in no way specific to HIV alone but can occur in many other common infections also. There is nothing to worry.

There is nothing like specific to HIV rashes. There are many skin conditions that can manifest with rashes including drug and insect bite allergy, seborrheic dermatitis, viral fevers etc. Those rashes may be exaggerated in HIV infection. But these are all not early HIV symptoms. Early manifestations can mimic the rashes of measles. Reddish uniform thin granules like lesions (not an isolated one) over most of the body.
Yours is not such a one.

Brief Answer:
Rash in the picture is not related to HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
The rashes I mentioned would be described as morbiliform (like distribution over a marble stone) dense reddish granules like lesions in early HIV.
Unlike the rash in the picture sent by you. It might be due to some insect bite.
You need not worry any more about HIV and you can carry on your routine and have the HIV test after 12 weeks to overcome all your doubts.

Brief Answer:
HIV transmission from breast secretion is unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Concentration of virus in breast secretion of an infected woman is very very low. One encounter would not cause infection. Moreover as you said human saliva contains Lyzozyme which is inimical to the HIV virus. So HIV infection is unlikely. Why you don't want to believe that you are free from HIV?

STD through breast seeking is also not possible unless that girl had any obvious STD ulcer on her breast which you could be easily recognized. If there was an ulcer she would not have exhibited her breast and you wouldn't have a temptation to suck her breast. There is no microscopic STD ulcer. So there is no possibility.

Brief Answer:
HIV COMBO test after 4 weeks for HIV 1 infection is confirmatory.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Throat infection can occur to anybody even in the absence of HIV infection. Lymph node enlargement at multiple sites in Early HIV infection (other than following local infection) would be totally painless. So your lymph node enlargement would unlikely be due to HIV infection.
Your HIV DUO test expected to be done on 5th April (4 weeks after the encounter) also, would be likely to be negative. The test after 4 weeks after the encounter would rule out HIV 1 infection conclusively.
Prevalence of HIV 2 infection is less than 1%. It would be ruled out by 12 weeks after the widow period.
