Am I at a high risk of HIV infection??

by WorriedCharlie22, Oct 11, 2009 11:24PM
   Hello, I'm a 19 year old male.  Roughly two weeks ago I had unprotected vaginal sex with a female.  I have been under a great deal of anxiety since then... I know this girl fairy well.. She swears she is HIV negative and has been checked for it.  She has never had unprotected sex before me.  But..... for the past two weeks I have been browsing all ACUTE-HIV Infection symptoms and I cant help but worry.
    Roughly 5 days after my encounter I had the following symptoms: Sore Throat, Horsey Voice and Pain swallowing.  Then a few days later (13 days after my encounter) I had a swollen left tonsil with 1 or 2 white spots. I went to my family doctor and was diagnosed for Tonsillitis.  How worried should I be about a possible HIV infection?  I plan on getting tested 2 and a half months from now but I don't know how well I'll be able to handle the anxiety of it all.
