Std scare

So I blacked out last week, I ended up at some party full of guys I was the only girl, I don't remember the night at all, all I know is I woke up in some apartment. Then some guys walked in and a guy asked if I remember him ******* me.. I got really worried because I don't know where I even met these people I just woke up there. About 2 days later I was drinking with some friends again and passed out outside and it rained on us, I got soaking wet, I woke up and we left but I took off and changed my clothes and I'm not sure where my friends went but anyways I went to bed and the next morning I woke up with a sore throat that didn't go away for almost 4-5 days. I read online a sore throat could be a symptom of early hiv. I'm not saying the guy was dirty but I don't know any of those guys or where I met any of them or how many of them could of had sex with me. Now I'm worried I contracted hiv from one of these guys/guy I haven't caught a cold in so long and all a sudden I have a sore throat, after that night, so I'm not sure what to think at this point.

Since you are unsure if any sex happened or not, and if sex did happen it could have been without condoms; you might have been exposed and at risk. Get tested at the 8 weeks mark for conclusive results. Good luck and I am certain your results will be negative.

The chance of HIV in this situation is very low, but not zero. Your sore throat doesn't mean anything. By itself, that's not a symptom of HIV -- there would be several other symptoms as well. But you need to be tested, both for HIV and other common STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis). Probably the tests will be negative, but better safe than sorry.

But the main health issue here is alcohol. You clearly have a major drinking problem: getting so drunk you pass out or black out, even once, is one definition of alcohol addiction. Deal with it.
