Awaiting HIV results after unprotected anal

So I have had unprotected anal sex without knowing my partner's status completely.  Right now I have a fever and sore throat, which I had two weeks ago.  I jsut took another HIV/STD test on Tuesday and am awaiting the results, really kinda nervous here.  Last test was March and came back negative.  Could the frequency of such symptoms indicate the test could return positive? I'm inshape, 21 y/o and used to never get sick. Thanks.

You can never use symptoms to give you even an indication of HIV because most symptoms are often caused by other things...they are really non-specific.

If your test is 3 months post exposure it is conclusive, anything before that is not conclusive. 8 weeks is a good indication but make sure your last test is at 3 months.
