concerned about hiv

[gracey1219]

Hi ave been with my bf for 6 yrs but we dont see each other all the time because i live in the states now and he live in jamaica. So i went to visit him in December  and we had sex and we use condom, so i was going bk home to d u.s on d 17 and we had sex d 16 and we use condom. When i reach bk home it was snowing and i start have sore throut, caughin, and running  nose so i went to wall green nd buy a clod nd flue medicine. After the flu i started  having joints pain, headace, neck pain, abdominal pain, diahrea and night sweat  i thought it was because i was in the hot and come back in the cold and am really worried... can you give me some advice please..thank you

How long did the flu last? Usually all those symptoms don't come right away..atleast 2 to 4 weeks and it will last u 2 weeks sick with the same symptom u brought  up..it will be a viral infection..but takes up to 4 or 6 months to show u have  hiv.. but its hard to have transmitted hiv wit a condo m so u should be safe.

Hello. In my opinion, at first you just had cold or flu.then due to some reason like heavy workout or travelling you had those pains. it is not at all an hiv as it does NOT spread in safe sex (use of condom) But if u still want, u can get it tested. thanx

Sounds like the flu which does not go away very easily.  Oftentimes we have to get help from a doctor to get over  it.  It sounds like you have all the symptoms of the flu.  If you are worried about HIV you can go to the Health Dept. and get tested for free.   HIV usually doesn't cause this type of symptoms... get some information on HIV while you're at the Health Dept.
