Extremely worried I might have contracted HIV

[xbladedragonx]

Hello.

Last Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, I had unprotected anal sex with a guy. I was the bottom so now this worries me even more. He says that he was tested 2 weeks prior and the results were clean and before the test he had been with 2 other people and was all protected. He didn't ejaculate inside. Saturday, I started developing cold like symptoms. A headache and sore throat. Today, the sore throat is a little down, but the headache is still there and I get dizzy whenever I walk.

Symptoms don't show that early does it? It was only a 2-3 day apart from the possible exposure.

Your 3 months post exposure test will be conclusive.

Hiv is never diagnosed on the basis of symptoms alone.

Actually not that early, but symptoms are grey area because they can't tell whether you've contracted HIV or not, so if you had exposure, which you might have, go test at 3 months post-exposure for a conclusive result on your status.

yeah but symptoms dont come that early do they?

I wanna make this clear.
Not everyone will be honest with you. While others will.
You need to test at 4-6 weeks this will give you an idea of what your test may look like after you test at 3 months.

And hiv gives you flu like symptoms!
