Teak and others

Teak, it is me, Gonka, (and now Gonka347 because I cannot access my account since they changed my password)

Ok, here is the problem. You know ealier I was worried about HIV because of a protected exporsure. But this time I really messed up;on March 14, I had sex with a woman I have known for 8 years. Eaxctly, 10 days later, I got a bad cough and fever (101) and body aches and joint pain. It is the Flu; I am still coughing and nasty mucus comes out. And I still have joint pain.

I am really scared; she tells me that she is safe; and she will test next week.

I had test (ora Quick) 19 days later, and it is negative. What are my chances? Am I done. Please help. Thanks so much

But what about these symptoms? Can they be related to HIV? I know 19 day test is not enough; but this woman tells me she is safe;

I forgot to tell: I had unprotected sex this time. I really messed up.

You have 49 posts under your old nick. I'm sure if you reread them you'll find all your answers there. As for testing you know already without me telling you when you can get a conclusive test result.
