Hi joe1334,

Since no one responded to you yet, i will help you with what i know.

Because you had unprotected vaginal intercourse, you had a risk. It is hard to tell if your symptoms are due to ars.

If you are able to, why not bring your lady for a hiv test? if she is negative right now, at about 4 weeks after your activity with her, then you mostly likely had intercourse with someone who does not hav hiv. In other words, you are highly likely to be safe.

If that option is unavailable, then you can get tested right now at 4 weeks with a 4th gen ag/ab test. or a normal antibody test at 6-8 weeks for some relief. Of course, only a test at 3 months will be conclusive.


Hope i have been of some help to you.


May God bless
