Early hiv discovery

Helo,i had an unprotected anal sex wit my partner along side kissing, dat was my first actualy. Its just a week now. Immediately i started having guilty conscience of contracting hiv. I started feeling pains around my neck region. Dry tongue but no sore throat. Due to overreaction i lost my appetite and diarrhea also began,and am fati. My left chest pounds and pains atimes. Can that be hiv symptoms. Normaly i sweat alot,even before the sex. Am i hiv positive?

The only way to know your status is to test. You can obtain your conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.

The only way to know your status is if YOU test.  You can't judge your status based on "symptoms" or your partner's test result.

Test at 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.

From now on, you must insist on condoms.  If you don't and continue to engage in M2M unprotected anal sex, there is a good chance HIV will be in your future.  Sex lasts a moment, HIV lasts a lifetime.
