I had an echocardiogram done and the technician seemed pleased with the results, stating everything looked normal and there was no heart stiffness. However, my doctor mentioned heart stiffness after checking with the technician. I'm confused about the discrepancy and want to understand if this is a subjective issue or if there might be a mistake.

I had an incident involving rubbing of penis to anus with precum, no penetration. After 4 days, I experienced sore throat and diarrhea. Is this considered an HIV risk and are these symptoms early signs of HIV?
