Sore throat and low grade fever after 2 weeks

Hello

I have had u protected sex and bottomed for 3 seconds.
Prior to that my rectum had tears due to rough handling in the beginning, mid-way the condom was taken off and i bottomed for 3 seconds (exposure to precum). Realizing the risk i stopped him soon after.

2 weeks after i experience a severe sore throat that lasted a night and went away after i took antibiotics, but the next day it progressed to a low grade fever of 38C, experienced night sweat.. It came down back to 36-37 in the morning but went up again that night to 38C. There was no night sweat this time. I can feel a tiny lymph node slightly raised on the neck. The symptoms werent severe enough to keep me in bed and i could still go to work..

However so much symptoms have occurred with the exact 2 weeks mark. Is it pretty much a definite? I feel unbearable shame when i think of my family. At night, emotions go wild.

I am praying God to give me the last chance to make up for the mistake i have done.

I will get tested this friday at the 3 weeks mark.. I am scared.

Thank you iommi..
I have received a negative at 21 days, and will get tested again now at 5th week.. how accurate is a 3 week test? :'(
The likelihood of a false negative seems pretty big :'(

Keep in mind many have experienced many symptoms only to test conclusively negative. Try and control your anxiety as it serves you no good.
Test at 28 post possible exposure with a 4th generation test as you've already been advised. There's no more to do or add at this time.

judging from your discription, if the top is HIV+, yes, you may be infected. but you never know, even if he is HIV+, its still possible u are not. think positive and lets hope for the best. next time be more careful!
