I really need an answer

Recently I had unsafe sex with other man. It lasted very shortly even 40 seconds and I'm not sure if he ejaculate in me. It has been nine days since than and I started to feel fatique. Im tired all the time and also I have lost my apetite, I don't eat almost nothing. But from two days ago I started having chills with normal temperature. Also at evening when it's cooler I'm freezing even it's not so cold. I don't know what to do. Please Help me somehow.

If you have symptoms see a doctor- it may very well be that they are imaginary- a doctor will help you figure out if they are due to stress and you'll probably feel better after talking to one about them.

"I live in a small country with 2 000 000 people and 200 have HIV"

That makes it even more unlikely that you have HIV. The odds are strongly in your favor. Again, I expect your test results to be negative.

I live in partly undeveloped country and they only do HIV usual tests.
I'll try to wait three months but these chills and all these symptoms which may be caused by reading them are driving me crazy :(((

The 6 week test will be a good indication of your status. Also, check with your STD clinics to see if they offer earlier testing options, such as a DUO test, which would give you a very good indication at 4 weeks, or an RNA-PCR test.

There is no point in worrying about this until then. What is done is done- either you have HIV or you don't- no point in crossing that bridge until you reach it.

"I don't know what to do"

What you do is simple:

1. Stop trying to figure out your status on the Internet, forums, etc.. Refrain from searching on HIV symptoms. You are obviously experiencing some anxiety and this will only fuel it.

2. Have an HIV test at 6 weeks and again at 3 months to confirm. If the 6 week test is negative you should expect the 3 month test to also be negative.

3. Learn from this mistake and never, ever have sex with another man without discussing HIV testing history and using condoms.

The only way you are going to know your status is by testing. Given the brevity of exposure, etc. I expect that you will test negative from this incident, but again please be more careful in the future.
