Advice

Hello,


I am male 28. I have unprotected sex with a girl about 2months ago. My intial symptoms began in 3-4 weeks and was mainly headaches and joint aches. Those went away and now these last 2 weeks I have a sore throat and my joints are hurting non stop. Its not a usual sore throat it seems to hurt on the right side. I am slightly worried as I have similar syptoms as Acute HIV  no fever no problem with diarrhea just my lymph nodes feel as if they are been stretched not swollen though. Any advice please
Thanks

it all depends on what type of unprotected sex you had, be more specific.if it was unprotected oral sex you are at no risk of hiv infection and your symptoms are related to stress and anxiety over the whole situation,however if it was unprotected vaginal or unprotected anal you need to get tested.3months conclusive hiv period.test now at 2months to eliviate stress levels.
