Dear Doctor,
I am in a relationship with a 28 year old male. Since I am very afraid of STDs, especially HIV, I now worry that I have the primary HIV infection, even though my boyfriend recently got tested for STDs as gonnorrhea, chlamydia and HIV before we started having unprotected sex. He is negative. My boyfriend and I are both Swedish, living in Scandinavia. He didn´t put himself at risk,he is not using any drugs, he did not have sex with the prostitutes, he is not bisexual and his ex girlfriends are all Swedish. We`ve been together in a serious relationship for three months now. And he got tested 2 months after we were toghether. Is there a reason to get so anxious, paranoid and afraid as I am?
My symptoms are: sour and swollen gland and very sour and swollen throat with some white gray spots on my tonsils, much more on the left side. No pain on the right side. I have a very bad taste in my mouth and it smells bad as well. I also have a fever, 38 °C and pain in my body. Paracethamol helps a lot. According to my doctor who took a sample from my throat, I don´t have streptococcus bacteria,but he said that it can be a kissing disease. He took a sample from my nose,but I will have results next week.
Should I get tested or ask my boyfriend to do a test again?
Is this a primary HIV infection?
