HIV symptoms or Anxiety?

Hello, I had vaginal and anal sex unprotected 13 weeks ago with a girl of unknown HIV status. 6 weeks later i had flu like symptoms with no fever. About a week later i started developing severe headaches with a small lymph node in the groin. The severe headache lastest for about a month or so. Then i began to have abdominal pains mostly around the spleen area and a little rash on the chest. These symptoms lasted for 12 weeks and on the 13th week it all went away. But i still have abdominal pains. Could this be Hiv? Why did the symptoms start late and lasted this long? with no high fever, no thrush and no night sweats. I took a test today, i'm waiting for the results.

your symptoms are not indicative of ars...timing is not right.

your test results will tell your status and further testing is not needed.

until you are in a mongamous relationship where both of you have tested, ALWAYS use condoms for penetrative vaginal / anal intercourse.    sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME ! ! ! ! !
