You did not mention whither your sexual contact with that CSW was protected or not. If you did not use condom during penetrative sex, you are at risk and better to get yourself tested and it is the right time for you to get a conclusive result if there is no other exposure in between.

Your doctor can tell you if your lymph nodes are enlarged, so better have a check up. But please note that enlarged lymph nodes are not only due to HIV infection, there are other reasons that cause their enlargement.

If you had protected sex and you are sure that your condom did not fail, forget about HIV or any other STD. You might have got some common infection.

anxiety and stress cause these symptoms

Hello, i´m the same case Abduselam, the matter is that I cannot remember (because of being drunk) whether the condom failed or not.  I've got some symptoms like he mentioned above, it started from the sixth week and this is the tenth; i've felt kind of flu twice this period and had diarrhea 3 days. My throat sometimes is sored but I've got no cough. What it would be? the pain is'nt present  all days but it returns. My question is could i be HIV-infected or any other disease.
As I remembered it was only vaginal and oral sex.

Symptoms don't come on that late. If one has ARS it comes 2-4 weeks post exposure and last apx a week and are all gone. They don't come and go and then reappear.
