Afraid I have AIDS!
I had sex with a sex worker in Zambia last year,I was putting on a condom but I suffered flue like illness sore joints, tiredness , I am worried now worried because I have abnormally warm feet .Some times when im standing on something it feels hot but when i closer inspect it is not actually that hot.One of the websites I looked at say this is a result of a low cd4 count, im extremely now worried.Can I be having AIDS after just one year?
If you put on the condom before penetration and the condom didn't fail then you did it correctly and didn't have a risk. Condoms only go one way and that is over the penis.
The thing is i dont know if i applied it properly , I was drunk, i dont have diabetes or hyper tention in my family......i am very worried and scared to test.I will be cast out of my society if i am found to be infected.I dont know if I can trust the people who do testing.
