symptomatic primo infection

8 weeks after a risk ( unprotected sex with a girl in Asia), I have all the symptoms of HIV ( exhaustion, candidosis)

I am really exhausted for 4 weeks.
Is it possible to have a so long symptomatic period?
Symptoms will disapppear by themselves?

Thank you for your answers

I made a test antibody ( Advia Centaur HIV1/0/2) 7 weeks after the risk ( negative).
But as I fear that it is a little bit too early.
And as I feel so bad....

Test now for very reliable, if not 100% conclusive results. Good luck, man. The doc will tell you the normal people can get thrush and exhaustion does not particulary mean HIV (but you knew this, of course). The risk of 1 time vaginal sex is apparently relatively low (compared to an risk such as receptive unprotective anal sex), but, of course, happens frequently due to the sheer number of people having it. ALWAYS use protection, regardless...
