Hi Tank,
Even though you don't want me to say I am going to point out that you will not have HIV from this episode because you used a condom - simple fact I'm glad to say.
There are lots of conditions which will cause the symptoms you have - very many of them very minor and clinically irrelevant.
A classic triad for diagnosing acute onset new HIV seroconversion illness is 1) a very severe sore throat 2) a very high temperature 3) a whole body rash - FOLLOWING a significant exposure.
You haven't had this triad - I know you've had a sore throat but not the three together - and you have not had a significant exposure.
I do not believe you are HIV positive. You can test from 28 days using an HIV DUO or HIV COMBO test. I think you'll be fine.
best wishes, Sean
I now also have a red rash and burning sensation under my skin on my chest
Please help as I am going mad with worry and stress
I forgot to add
Are acute signs of hiv infection usually accompanied with fever, rash etc or can simply swallen lympth nodes and a sore throat be indicative of acute hiv?
I do not have a fever or a rash or feel like i have flu, just this damn sore throat and swallen lymph nodes
The research says that swallen lymph nodes are only when one if fighting an infection such as hiv - this absolutely terrifies me ////
