Fever
Hello!
First I would like to apologize for my poor English language skills and spelling errors.
I have read this and other forums a couple of weeks but I am still confused. I hope that you will be able to help me.
I am a 23 years old woman from Eastern Europe. What I'm worried about: Approximately 5 months ago I had unprotected sex ( he used a condom among the sex and he does not ejaculate inside ) I'm upset because this was my first sex, he left me next day and later I find out that he had a lot of women before me. To me, it was a big mistake. I have no idea whether he is infected or not. 6-7 days later I had a fever, fatigue and loss of appetite. Day temperature was slightly over 37 degrees and 39 degrees at night (Temperatures were around 3 to 4 days). I don't know, maybe it was the flu or another virus, which we can catch at the end of November (winter)
Later I began to read articles about HIV and other diseases and started to worry. I had 2 tests. The first test was 11 weeks later and the second test was 19 weeks later. First test name - ABBOT PRISM HIV O Plus (
as I understand this test looks for HIV1 and HIV2 antibodies and antigen) and the second test name - ABBOT HIV Ag/Ab Combo (looks for HV1/HIV2 antibodies and HIV1 antigen) Both tests were negative. At the same time, I had the tests for hepatitis B an C, results were also negative.
How do you think can I rely on these test results?
My strange fever after 7 days could be ARS?
Do I need to take another tests after 6 months or longer?
I think I have red too many artciles and too many different viewpoints about HIV testing.. As a result, I have depression. I want to forget it all, learn from mistakes and live a normal life.
I hope to receive a response
Thank you very much
Sincerely,
Krista

have you never had a fever before?
your symptoms had absolutely NOTHING to do with hiv infection and that was proven by your test.
put this out of your mind and move on :)

Sorry, I explain wrong... sex was unprotected about 3-5 min, he used a condom at the end..
obviously...during all the reading you did...you missed the part about condom protected sex being NO RISK ! ! !

You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
