Scared about possible exposure
10 days ago I topped a guy who told me he’s HIV positive. I wore a condom, and the condom broke during sex and there was some fecal matter on my penis afterwards.
He did say he was undetectable but told me this after we had sex, which is what started the spiral as no one can know for sure if they’ve been following treatment. Ngl I was upset he never disclosed this before we hooked up which was sketchy. That’s what you get for randomly hooking up with a stranger from Grindr I guess. I’m not on prep either I practice safe sex and rarely do this, it’s been a rough year after a breakup with my ex and wanted an escape.
Since then I’ve been spiraling. I started getting symptoms around day 7–8: constant throat clearing, mucus, mild discomfort when swallowing, fatigue, and some diarrhea. Still no fever though.
I got an RNA test this morning at 9.5 days post-exposure. They said if it’s positive they’ll call me, otherwise no news is good news.
I’m losing my mind waiting for these results. Has anyone here tested this early with RNA and gotten a negative? Or had similar mild symptoms and ended up negative?
Would really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. This anxiety is destroying me. Safe to say i learned my lesson and will likely get on prep if all goes well.
Thanks
