HIV infection?
Hi there,
About a month back, I was travelling in a bus. During the ride, I felt a sharp prick on my buttocks. After some time, I developed muscle pain like the one you would have after an IM injection. I knew it was the same because I just had my TT shot a few weeks earlier. After 2 weeks from the incident, I developed a fever which lasted about a week.
Guys, I think i have been infected with HIV. I have to wait 2 more months to test. What are the odds that someone injected with the HIV virus will turn positive?

Maam,
But what about the prick feeling, the muscle pain like a injection, and the fever 2 weeks later? seems too much of a coincidence to be something else!!!
