PLS HELP!!! VERY VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Jan 11, 2009

Hello,

I am 17. Still a virgin. One mth ago, I met this guy-F. wE WERE NOT ENGAGED IN ANY SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. ONLY KISSING. F had protected sex(using condom)with other girls b4 he knew me.

Am I at risk on contracting HIV? COMSIDERING THAT WE ONLY KISSED. NO OPEN SORES OR BLEEDING GUMS. WE DID NOT ENGAGE IN ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITY. ONLY KISSING.

I am now having a flu-fever that lasted for 3 days. Is it a symptom of HIV? OR IS IT JUST A COINCIDENCE???

Am I at risk of getting HIV although we only kissed(FRENCH KISSED) LIKE A FEW TIMES???

OR HAVE I CONTRACTED HIV CONSIDERING THAT I HAD FEVER? I did not have rashes or thrush.

PLS HELP!!! AM GETTING PARANOID. THANKS.
