HIV?

[Stripes82]

Hi,
Just over two weeks ago I had a drunken hook up with a friend (I am female, he is male). It consisted of me going down orally on him just a bit and then unprotected vaginal sex which lasted just about 10-15 seconds. However he accidentally entered me anally. He just went in and then went right out again. There was no ejaculation at all. I know the risk is low, but the symptoms I'm experiencing seem to match with HIV. Here they are:
2 days ago, as I got to work I suddenly felt super tired. I was fine all day and I've gotten enough sleep that night. This lasted my five hour shift and a bit when I got home. Then yesterday I had a really bad headache. It was heightened when I would turn my head or look around. Also, born yesterday and today when I would wake up, I'd be sweating all over my body, like the back of my neck, my back, chest, etc.
I know my risk is low, especially with no ejaculatiom, but I'm very nervous.
Thanks !

Thanks for shedding light on the situation.
Just another question, do you know what my approximate risk is?
Also, what could the possible risk that he has HIV? I know he's been in a few long term relationships and he does not seem to sleep around that much.
Thanks again

Hello, as you already know you had a risk, not only by the accidental anal penetration but for the vaginal penetration too, because both of then were unprotected.

About your symptoms, ARS is the first stage of an HIV infection, is the body’s reaction to the infection. Some HIV positive people, but not all of them, reported that around 20 days after their exposure they had fever, sore throat, rash and flu (not cold) like symptoms, all of those came together, or within a few days of difference and lasted for a few weeks. As you see, the same symptoms are present in many other illnesses and not everyone had them, so, we can’t rely on them to diagnose HIV.

The symptoms you describe don't sound like HIV or ARS, but you were exposed to a risk and the only way to know for sure is to get tested.

Third and fourth gen Elisa tests are among the most common ones nowadays, according to CDC, any HIV test is conclusive if taken 12 weeks after an exposure, but you can take them before that, 3rd gen will give you an excellent indicator about your status around 6 - 8 weeks after exposure and 4th gen 4 - 6 weeks after exposure. A result given in those times is very unlike to change, but only a doctor, based on your risk level and his experience could advice you to skip the confirmatory test after 12 weeks post exposure.

Hope this helps.
