Worried about the risks
I did had unprotected sex with my new girlfriend 9 weeks back, later I came to know she did had casual sex with other people and states she was having it protected, after two weeks from having sex i had a sore throat and I guess because I was smoking heavily for the two days and was on party shouting at high note from my throat, I was not able to talk clearly for a day, I did had no fever, rashes or any other, but I do have fatigue as I keep on worrying and I guess it is about mental stress and two days back I had a blood blister in my mouth and which made me worry and also I have been consuming large amount of alcohol from last few weeks and which also includes smoking, I'm not sure I sweat at night but I just keep on worrying thinking that I'm sweating at night but I don't think I'm drenching in sweat, this is causing me a complete mind stress. I'm just waiting for few more weeks to take my test but are these some kind of symptoms which I need to worry and I forgot to mention two weeks earlier I asked her to take a HIV screening test and it came negative.
I counted 12 week earlier from the time she took the test and two weeks after the test till now, assuming she had no other exposures in between.
Thanks for the response... It was just two weeks ago and I know that the last time she went with a guy was at March.

Looking at the timeline, her test result means that she was negative 14 weeks ago and you got exposed 9 weeks ago. That means she was negative the time you had sex with her. Having said that, its up to you now. Are you okay with this findings or are you skeptical?.. I would personally advise testing for your sake. Better to rule out any possibilities. Be well.
Malbat thanks for it, I was concerned and I will take a test....
Malbat how are you calculating the 14 weeks here?
She took a test two weeks back which was end of August....We had sex at July second week....the last time she was out with a guy was March......
As a general precaution, you aren't supposed to have unprotected sex outside a monogamous relationship. Even if it is your girlfriend. Hiv isn't diagnosed by symptoms and asking you to keep a lookout for symptom is like sending you on a wild goose chase. Take it easy and take a simple antibody test at the 12th week mark. It will be conclusive. "she took a test 2 weeks earlier"... Was this before the exposure or just two weeks ago?
