hello,(forgive my english i dont speak well).
i heave read in many medical sites that sneezing,coryza and/or runny nose are not typical sypmtoms of ars.i am very confused though because many doctors support the idea that some people might have very mild symptoms and even a runny nose maybe mean that a person is infected with hiv.
i had a sexual contact with a person(that became my boyfriend) and some weeks later i had fever for one day(38,5) and a heavy cough that lasted a week or more and all this ended up with a runny nose and sneezing.
after two months i got sick again, no fever but swollen lymph nodes,sore throat and again strong cough and an extremely stuffy nose.this situation again ended up with a lot of sneezing.the doctor gave me antibiotics(are they effective in case of ars?).
i am worried because i rarely got sick specially two times in a year.
the person i had contact with, told me that he had been tested for his last girlfriend for hiv a month or more after they had sex so he s clean.is this period enough for the elisa test to show if a person is hiv negative or positive?
is there any case that my symptoms were a coincidence?
i am really sorry for the long question,it s the first time i ak for help in a forum and that is because i am really scared.
thank you very much.
