can someone please advise on the following matters.
in most of the fact sheets about h.i.v. infection the main symptoms appear to be
1. fever -  what is the average duration for this?
2.headache- how severe and the average duration.?
3. sore throat -  what is average duration and severity. will it be acute or does a slight throat infection without any mediaction needed also fall into the category
4. swollen lymph glands - is this normally severe and which is the most common area eg throat or under the arms ?

can the above symptoms be in isolation or will they all be manifested simultaneously

thanks teak,

i tested negative two weeks after post exposure  and again after 4 weeks . that was in november last year.other than extreme dizzyness and fatigue  at the end  of january which lasted for a few hours only and a slightly sore throat which lasted for approx. 14 days  there have been no other symptoms.

HIV is never diagnosed by symptoms and symptoms are never reliable. If you had unprotected anal or vaginal sex, you can test at 6 weeks post exposure and if that test is negative obtain your conclusive test at 3 months (12-13 weeks) post exposure.
