Hi John

First of all, you won't have got AIDS from this event. AIDS is a particular syndrome associated with HIV which may develop after usually a very prolonged time - often many years. HIV is not the same as AIDS. HIV if untreated may cause AIDS eventually but the two are not the same.

You did not have a risk. I don't obviously know whether she placed a used condom on you but that seems unlikely. Even if in the worst case scenario she had placed a used condom on you then I don't believe you would have been at risk from this as HIV is very fragile and does not survive easily in the air or with temperature changes etc.

The other symptoms you report are not convincing of an acute HIV illness because 1) they are too soon 2) they are too mild and 3) because as you say other factors may be at play such as the cold weather etc.

best wishes, Sean
