Concerned about possible HIV infection
About 6 months ago I had sex with a guy I met. He used a condom when we had sex but it came off inside me during intercourse. He didn't come inside me either. Now I'm having flu like symptoms, fatigue, nausea, and overall feel like crap. I don't know what I have. I've been reading other peoples' posts and most say that they had these symptoms a week or two after contact but I was wondering what my risk might be for being HIV positive after 6 months? I don't talk to him anymore and I assume by now he would know if he was positive and would have told me but I can't depend on that. I'm just looking for some piece of mind. Any answers or help would be greatly appreciated.
At Marc, no I haven't been tested yet. It actually turns out that I had mononucleosis. Instead of having the normal symptoms of sore throat I was tired and nausea. It turns out the virus went directly to my liver and spleen then came out visually on my body with a rash. It was really weird and scary cause my doctor did the mono test last and made me think i was dying. I plan on getting a full std screen this month and will most likely test negative for everything. Thanks for the concern and help!
