Ambiguous Symptoms 1-Month After Sex with Female
Dear Community,
I need someone to either confirm my fears or talk me down, because I'm freaking out about having possibly contracted HIV. I'm experiencing some strange, ambiguous symptoms four weeks after an unprotected one night stand with a female. I'll briefly describe the encounter, and then describe the symptoms.
The sex took place one month ago in Prague. I was teaching TEFL so my students invited me out and I had a one night stand with one of their female colleagues. Despite her "corporate" status, she seemed very loose, because she got sexual with me before having exchanged more than two words. Brought her back to my place and was having a hard time keeping my erection due to drunkenness. To correct this, she aroused me with oral until I was semi-hard and then more or less stuffed my penis inside her. We had sex unprotected for about two minutes before I went limp again.
Fast forward to now (month later) and I'm experiencing an annoying mental fog. It started last week and I wrote it off. Now it's accompanied by an odd feeling throat, although not what most would call "sore." I also had a small irritated area on my face that went away minutes after applying moisturizer. No fever, only below average energy.
The Czech Republic has one of the lowest HIV rates in the world, but the looseness of this woman has me worried about what she could possibly have. I have an HIV test scheduled for next week, but it would be nice to prevent some gray hairs in the meantime if possible. Thank you.

Doctors at freedomhealth clinic in uk, who also are experts on this forum, say a 28 day hiv duo is conclusive. You are much beyind that point. I assure you, the money spent on duo will buy you good peace of mind and make you feel less anxious. Also a 3 months test will make you confident.
