Sore throat when swallowing - HIV?

[essexlad]

Hi, around 15 weeks ago i had unprotected sex with a lady. For the past 2 weeks i have had a pain in my neck when swallowing, my throat does not appear sore, just when i swallow. Do you think this is a sign of HIV early stages?

thanks

odds dont tell you whether or not you were infected...only a test will do that.

Thanks Teak for all your advice

One last question. If someone has HIV and sleeps with someone. What are the odds that the other person does contract it from them?

thanks

Just test and you'll know for a fact if you were exposed or not.

Thanks, i spoke to the girl i slept with and she has assured me that she is clean.

Maybe i am just being paranoid!!

To late. Symptoms are not reliable in diagnosing HIV. HIV has NO specific symptoms.

i got my sore throat after 12 weeks, is this a symptom of early exposure or is this a bit too late? thanks

If you had unprotect anal or vaginal sex then you can test NOW and your test will be conclusive.
