HIV incubation period and risk of transmission

[Question333666]

I am pretty worried about my risk. I had protected insertive anal intercourse and unprotected oral sex with a small cut wound on the shaft of the penis. The scab had fallen off that day but it had only been 2 days since I got cut. It was not bleeding. The man that I was having sex with stated in his profile that he was on prep and tested negative this month.

The very next day and 3 days onwards I experienced body aches, chills and feverish feeling. Every internet page seems to be ambiguous with their timeline of the onset of first HIV symptoms. I already had covid and vaccinated against flu. Don’t know really what it could be, should I be worried?

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

HIV doesn't enter the body through the shaft of your penis, even with cuts or scrapes.  HIV enters through the urethra, which only happens if the head of your penis is not covered by a condom during intercourse.  Receiving oral sex isn't a risk for HIV at all - it's not transmitted via saliva, and no one has ever been infected that way.

Whatever is causing your medical issues is not related to HIV, since you were never exposed to HIV.

The typical flu incubation period—the time between exposure and the start of symptoms—is between 24 hours and four days, with the average being two days. Or you got something else - but not hiv that you fear -  from that person or someone else.
