Hi

I would not be concerned about HIV with what you have described. Performing oral sex on someone can pass HIV but the chance of this happening is low. The main reason I wouldn’t be concerned about HIV is because your HIV tests have been negative after the window period has finished.

The symptoms you and your girlfriend are experiencing can be caused by many different conditions. I would recommend that you connect with a doctor to speak to them about your concerns. Its not possible to diagnose conditions online as the person would need to ask you some questions, do a physical exam and do some tests.

I don’t know what other STI tests you got when you did the HIV testing, but I would just recommend getting tested for STI if this was not done when you tested for HIV. Also with you girlfriend I am not sure if she has had other partners in the past. If she has had past partners as well, it would be good for her to do STI testing too.

I am not sure what is causing your symptoms but it sounds like you are really concerned about passing something to your girlfriend. I can see how this could cause a lot of stress, but if both your STI tests are negative you are good.
