Ars 9 days post exposure

Hi there

I had protected penile-vaginal with sex escort in Dubai

9 days post exposure I had very high fever 39.5 C

My brother took me to hospital and they gave me panadol

I had fever for four days, fever reduced at day time, and increased in night time

My concern is I got high fever and body aches at the same time of ARS which is freaking me out I’m crying all days

No sore throat

I read a post from Dr hhh he said some people got hiv even with condom which freaked me out more

I’m confused and scared

I don’t remember if my condom broke, I don’t think so

Please help me what my odds that my symptoms is related to hiv

You've been given really clear information. You did not have a risk with condom protected vaginal sex. ALL sorts of things give a fever including just a common virus plus flu, covid, etc. There is no reason to continue to worry yourself about this as you have three people saying you had no risk.

I’m scared because of the very high fever at the accurate time of ars

Did any one have same experience of mine?

Got very high fever after protected sex and didn’t get hiv


Is only fever could be ARS? Without sore throat? Is it possible?

You got flu, Covid or any respiratory illness. You didn't have hiv when you had a flu previously, so you are wasting your time thinking that every fever means you got hiv. Reread the advice and move on, instead of repeating your questions.
This wasn't your first flu, and you didn't get hiv when you got a flu previously. It is time to reread the advice.

As long as the condom covered the head of your penis, you had NO RISK for HIV. Clearly, the condom DID cover the head of your penis, because you would have known if it did not.

It sounds like you had the flu or other common virus.  You did not get HIV from this event.

Can I get hiv if I used condom?

Please
At this point your anxiety is a bit of a mental illness, since it is preventing you from thinking logically. See a therapist, because this is just an hiv prevention forum, so we can't treat your hiv fixation.
Maybe you should show this thread to your brother to see if he can help you get over your fear.
