could postnasal drip be a HIV symptom

Dear doc

Im worried. I've had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. He assures me he tested negative 4months ago. I now have severe tonsillitis with thrush on. An additional symptom is postnasal drip. Could I have contracted HIV?

Could I have contracted HIV?  and I answered yes, which was the correct answer for her question.  You wouldn't be confused if you stayed in your own thread.

teak, did you really mean she has contracted HIV?
i am hoping this is a typing mistake. did you mean unprotected sex means you get a test to know for sure. or you meant, yes, if you had unprotected sex, you 'could' have contracted hiv, but test to know for sure..
i am confused here.

You put yourself at risk of contracting HIV by having unprotected sex, so the answer is yes.
