HIV Early stages
I recently came back from Thailand 6 days ago. When i was over there i had sex with sex workers. At all times a condom was worn and from my knowledge non ever broke. When i was there i also got a tattoo, The shop was clean and i watched him put a new needle from the package and he also had a sterilize machine there. The whole time he did the tattoo he wore gloves and a face mask and the ink was pored into a new container. I am really worried cause since i have been back i had a sore throat bad sinus and flu like symptoms, I also look like **** look sick as... I went to the doc 4 days after i got back and all tests were negative. I realise this is way to early for a true result. Since then i went back today to get some antibiotics witch i just started today. Should i be worried or am i just working my own anxiety up and creating these conditions in my head? Is it to early to even get symptoms of HIV this early? This being about 8 to 10 days? Please help me? Many thanks.
This also sounds like what i am suffering from.. I will still get tested to make sure but anxiety really makes u feel things..

Ok no worries thanks for your time. I thought the same thing about that guy just said that cause he didnt want his parents to know what he really got up to..
whatever ! ! ! that dude wants everyone (probably his wife) to THINK he got it from a tattoo and not the real way he caught it.
ars comes at 2-4 WEEKS after infection.
you had NO risk

Just one more ? is it to early to even get these symptoms yet?
And Why do u say you cant catch HIV from a tattoo? They say a young guy came back from Thailand early last year with a tattoo from Thailand and contracted HIV? Sorry i dont mean to be a pest i realise your time is valuable.. :-)

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
