cough, nasal congestion?
I received oral sex from someone of unknown status. I later realized that I had a few small abrasions on my penis.
About 6 weeks later got cough, runny nose, sore throat, even sweated one night.
All sources I have read say that cough and runny nose (nasal congestion) are not HIV symptoms, except for Wikipedia.... Where is wiki getting this info? All medical journal say normally it is not. What do you think?
