Im a man that had protected sex with another man about a month ago. We had unprotected oral sex. Now two days ago a had a headache and yesterday i noticed a small bump sore under my armpit. Should i be worried if this could be hiv? If so when should i get tested? Thank you

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Oral sex carries a very low risk for HIV and heard ache and a boil on the arm pit can occur to anybody and not specific for early HIV manifestation.
Antigen based test would be highly sensitive and specific by this time (1 month), you can have one such test under the supervision of your physician.
Get well soon.
