very worried about acute HIV infection

[worriedperson996]

Hi, I am a 30 year old healthy woman. 2 weeks ago I had unprotected sexual encounter with a man with unknown HIV status. He put his penis in both my vagina and butt without a condom for a few minutes. We did not finish having sex. About 3 days later, I started getting sick with sore throat and feeling weak in the beginning. Then I got better and worse. Now it has been 2 weeks and I have a sore throat, dry cough, sinus but no fever.

What is my risk and do my symptoms look like acute HIV infection? I have been really worried and regretted the unprotected sexual encounter and therefore had not been able to sleep well. I planned to get tested anyway but I think I may need to wait for another 2 weeks to have an accurate test results, right?

Symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. You can take a Duo test at about 28 days, or an antibody test at 6-8 weeks and both will be a good indication of your status. But you MUST have a 3 month antibody test for a conclusive result.

You have had unprotected sex so you need to test.

Dont look for symptoms, only a hiv test can find out whether you have hiv or not.

Test at 6 weeks and follow it ip at 12 weeks for a conclusive result.

USE CONDOMS for penetrative sex and you will remain hiv negative!!!!

Good luck!!!!
