Worried: hiv symptoms 3 months after encounter with a gay man.

Hi there,

Here is my story. About three months ago i had sex with a gay guy (im straight: it was the first time with a guy). He wasnt a stranger, i acutally knew him. He is 19 years of age. There was making out, unprotected oral ( he was the one that performed it), and protected anal ( he was the one that received it). He told me that he was clean but i wasnt satisfied. A month later i got the chills and fever, but two days prior off getting the fever i tried ecstasy for the first time and did it two nights in a row. Im not sure if the chills and fever were caused by the "e" or were acute symptoms. I got tested four weeks after the incident and the results were negative. Then i got tested eleven and half weeks after the incident and the results came back negative. Two days before i got tested for the second time i noticed that i had three to four small bruises on my body and heard that easy bruising was a symptom. from there on i started stressing out and freaking out. from that point on, ive been getting slight muscle aches on my legs, unable to sleep, light sweating at night, and i have the feeling that im about to get a soar throat but i dont. Is it possible of having acute symnptoms three months after the incident? I dont know if the symptoms are stress induced or possibly acute symptoms. Should i be worried and get tested again in a couple of months?

If you are having anal and oral sex with men, you are not straight.

I think a lot of your symptoms could be stress related to worrying about all of this. With the negative results, your fears should ease. If nothing has shown up positive by now, you should be fine.
