Need Opinions Please

I partied one Friday night and had unprotected sex, the next day i partied again and lost my voice by the end of the night. Next morning my voice was gone, then after maybe 2 days passed it came back then days or weeks later cant really remember i noticed a cough that lasted forever maybe 2 months, i had mucus also. I Remember getting chills like bein hot and cold this happend one day or two days and chills never came back. I had a headache one night and thats it. My cough was my main thing i noticed usually coming in the morning or night. With mucus and mostly a dry cough. I sometimes spit white phlegm now it looks to me. I feel fine now but these symptoms and my unprotected sex has been in back of my mind for a while now and ive been stressing like crazy. What do you think? Ive looked up laryngitis because that friday and saturday night i did drink alot of alcohol. Ive asked the girl if she was clean and says she is but you never know

HIV symptoms last only 1-2 weeks but symptoms are no reliable HIV indicators, so go test now.

Typical HIV symptoms come up 2-4 weeks post-exposure, but you need to get tested at 3 months post-exposure to get a conclusive result on your HIV status since you were at risk if the sex was vaginal and/or anal.

If you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex you put yourself at risk and will need testing. You can test 3 months post exposure and your test result will be conclusive.
